Maybe it's time I updated this theme….

I’m not exactly sure but I believe that the theme on this blog has been here since summer of 2004. For those of you who are wondering, that is probably the longest a single blog has held a single theme, probably ever. Due to my semi-recent rash of theme making for word press (two in the last 5 months counts) I will likely take an afternoon sometime in the next month and revamp the image here to make it more professional.

This will be a good step since I seem to have become one at some point here. I’m now running my own small business, attended graduate school, and trying to figure out where I fit into ministry (with my wife) here in the twin cities. I also am meeting up with the volunteer coordinator for the Minneapolis Public Library system midweek to try to find a way to volunteer there. Hopefully either by reading to kids, or helping kids learn to/get excited about reading.

Since i can control the theme, there will be something new and snazzy is coming soon.

I also am starting to improve my delineation between my professional/personal lives. As this becomes more clear I will hopefully start blogging here more frequently again.

Newish WP Theme: Cotolance

This theme is actually several months old and has been around the block a bit by this point. It is called Cotolance (Coo-toe-lance) and was developed for the company blog of Nineteen05, my web development company. This blog serves as a way for me to share what is coming up on a decade of web development, marketing, management, and community development experience with the Church as a whole. The latter three of these topics are sorely excluded from the seminal educations professional ministers receive during their masters programs (I’m also currently enrolled at Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, MN)

The design heavily borrows from the main Nineteen05.com website (which was completed by Ned Wright last spring) The main differences are in the layout of the content section of the design, and the sidebar. While the nineteen05.com site is fairly monochromatic for the moment, I wanted to bring more color into the blog and did that through the header and the date boxes. The design will likely mimic that of the company site as it goes through renovations in the future.

Like the Inductaloot theme, this one is also private. If you are looking for a blog of your own check out Insights For Church and get blogging today! It is hosting the official nineteen05 blog, and hopes to host hundreds of blogs for those involved in ministry in the near future.
