The Open Source Church

So, Tony Morgan led a blogging breakout at last weeks Unleash conference at Newspring church in Anderson, SC. If you didn’t attend(Like Me, I wish i could have though.) you can catch Perry’s two sessions online at the Unleash site. Anyway Tony gave ten steps to better blogging in his session. Here they are:

1. Determine your primary audience
2. Post regularly
3. Keep posts short
4. Don’t sell yourself
5. Use Humor
6. Stop attacking other people or ministries
7. Remember that blogging isn’t private
8. Be a thought leader
9. Don’t listen to your critics
10. Reveal the real you

So what do you think? What else would you add to this list? View the PDF from his session, it has more on each point. Also register for next years Unleash Conference, I will.

Today we are setting up a lot of web 2.0 apps for ourselves here at The Open Source Church. Why you ask? Well simply put we are a technology driven project so we are going to stay on top of technology(and we just love doing this stuff).

Also a lot of these great Web 2.0 apps actually help market your church to the masses. Most are free so it will cost you nothing. Think about it. If you spent one day setting up a Facebook Page, A Squidoo Lens, A AboutUs wiki. you could reach more people, which means more possibilities of change dlives. All for just a little bit of your time.

If you are interested in helping to promote your church using these and more great Web 2.0 apps, get started doing it yourself or  contact us today find out more.

We’ll Keep you updated throughout the day as we get different apps up.
