New Look & New Host

Last Updated January 21, 2011 by Matt 8 Comments

This will, hopefully, be the last “status update” post. I decided it was time to update the look of the blog a bit. If you read my blog on your RSS reader, you might want to visit the website proper and see the visual changes that have been made.  It’s still a clean, simple layout, but it looks a bit more fresh than the old theme. There’s still some tweaks here and there to be made, but the site should work just fine for everyone.

And, an invisible change I made was changing website hosts. I used to be with BlueHost and decided it was time to move away from them after what seemed to be a lot of downtime on my site. I had started an account with HostGator a little while ago to work on some web projects and have been pleased with the switch. So, in trying to resurrect the blog, it seemed like the right time to move my personal blog over to HostGator as well. If you want to know why I switched, email me and I’ll give you all the nerdy details. I will spare the rest of you from that.

So, this weekend I will work on cleaning up and tweaking the site, and then blogging should begin Monday morning.

Best Youth Ministry Books: Youth Ministry 3.0 by Mark Ostreicher

Yesterday I finally read Youth Ministry 3.0 by Mark Ostreicher, and since I’m one of the latecomers to the conversation I won’t summarize the book too much.

Best Youth Ministry Books: Postmodern Youth Ministry

Postmodern Youth Ministry by Tony Jones is the book I would recommend to youth ministers if they could just read one youth ministry book.
