Installing ChurchInfo Desktop Edition

If you don’t know what ChurchInfo is, it’s a web based, open source, Church Management software originally developed to be deployed in Linux driven web servers so that the authorized users could access it from anywhere, any time. Not all churches are capable of handling a web server which is why last year I wrote a tutorial on installing ChurchInfo in a Windows PC and it’s receiving a wide array of attention ever since.  Though Installing in a PC is a fairly easy process, some of our readers ran into errors when they attempted the installation.

Free tools for creating a custom Facebook fan page for your church or ministry

My sincere apologies as I couldn’t update this blog on due time. I was down with an ear infection and feverish. I won’t be able to post any updates in the next 2 weeks either because I will be busy with studies. Nevertheless I wanted to leave something worthwhile for my loyal readers to experiment with until I return.

How your church can use the power of Facebook!

Guest post by Ben Sinclair
Facebook for Churches

If someone doesn’t have a Facebook account these days, it’s kind of a big deal. I can’t remember what I did before Facebook. It’s almost a necessity these days.

Whether we like it or not, Facebook has been a powerful networking tool for some time now. The question is, how can churches start to use this power without it getting out of control?

Let’s have a look at some points that will help you unleash the power of Facebook.

2011: The year churches move to the cloud? Free eBook

Cloud Computing for Churches and non-profits

I have had the joy of guiding the church in the area of information technology for the last 14 years. One important truth I learned during this time is that unawareness and fear of failure are major reasons why churches and other non-profits delay or altogether deny adopting new and awesome technologies like “Cloud Computing”.

If the title “Cloud Computing” sounds complicated, then the book “2011: The year churches move to the cloud?” by Ben Sinclair is for you. It’s a free E-book that explains the concept of Cloud Computing and how churches and non-profits can enjoy its vast array of benefits free of charge or at very affordable rates. Given below is a short excerpt from the book.

NETBibleTagger: A free tool to dynamically quote scripture on web sites and blogs

NetBibleTagger

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you must know by now that I was using Reftagger to automatically tag and quote scripture references in my blog posts. Two weeks ago I came across NETBibleTagger and I replaced Reftagger straight away because I noticed that NETBibleTagger does a much better job.
