I would like to welcome Michael Neale to the world of blogging. We just launched his new website which I designed and developed. Michael is a worship leader in Franklin, TN, blogging about church leadership, music, life, etc.

Check out his new site and let us know what you think in the comments!

We just launched the brand new blog/website of Shaun Groves. The site was designed by Brad Ruggles with some awesome additional artwork by Barton Damer. I handled all-things-WordPress and all of the fun details involved in getting his old content moved over to the new platform.

So, go check it out right now at http://ShaunGroves.com. I’m sure you will love it but I would still love to hear your feedback.

It’s that time of year again… the next year of EDGE Conference promotional materials are coming out. Posters have already been printed and mailed and this year’s EDGE Conference website is live.

This year the site is running on everyone’s favorite blogging engine (and light CMS) WordPress! (Shocker, I know.) So head on over to The EDGE website and soak in a little grunge and youthy, EDGE-i-ness. Then come back and let me know what you think.

There are still a few tweaks to be completed, but we have officially launched RhythmVA.com to the public.

Rhythm is a college ministry based in Roanoke, VA. They wanted an easy to use website to keep their people informed about news, events, resources, etc. They also do a weekly podcast of the sermons from their meetings. WordPress was the engine of choice (with a few hacked customized plugins to make it all happen).

Check them out and let me know what you think about the site.

I just rolled out some minor tweaks to ChadJarnagin.com. We will be messing with some branding details later, but for now enjoy the updated sidebar, footer, music section, and those super-cool roll-over effects on the big “support” buttons on the right.

The first phase of CompassionBloggers.com has officially launched. This site will be a place for bloggers to get resources and information about how they can partner with Compassion International to help release children from poverty. Compassion Bloggers will also take select groups of bloggers overseas to various countries allowing them to see the work of Compassion first-hand. The site will also document these trips by featuring blog posts, images and videos from each trip.

The site is currently running on a custom, PHP-driven infrastructure but I hope to transition everything over to Django for the next iteration.

Head over to CompassionBloggers.com and check it out. Then come back and let me know what you think.

Chad Jarnagin (AKA: *The Blogstar) is a worship pastor, an amazing vocalist, a creative genius, a songwriting machine, and a great guy. His personal blog is full of links to great music, news about his life and ministry, and random thoughts and questions about life, spirituality, and the church.

Chad has been blogging for a long time with a free online service and recently decided to take the plunge into the world of WordPress. He wanted an edgy yet clean and professional blog design to help move his online presence to the next level.

This site still has a little refining to be done, but please check out chadjarnagin.com and let me know what you think.
