poor man's website

a summary of using free resources to build a website for an organization. from 人行道: blogging Jesus | 貧窮教會的網站:

Saturday, September 10, 2005
我覺得對一個小教會來說，用blogger.com其實就足夠了。首先，可以有一個獨立的網域名稱（這點對教會來說很重要）；其次，你可以開許多BLOG作為各個小組獨立的空間（像這樣）；再來，可以設定共同作者，一同發表文章與管理。

需要相簿功能，使用FLICKR，不但可以把相片直接秀在首頁，還可以利用note的功能，使圖片說明更生動（例子）。需要分類的功能，使用del.icio.us: javascript feeds就可以補足blogger.com這方面的不足。透過newsgator，可以把會友個人網誌的新文章直接update在首頁。使用google groups，教會可以建立一個簡單的電子報系統（願意開放任何人發言，就會變成討論區），直接把週報以及活動通知寄到每個人的信箱裡（要漂亮的請找 PCHOME）。想要強化功能，租個空間來搞podcast吧，不過教會如果可以租主機的話，應該也不需要使用免費的blogger.com了吧。
