Missionary blog tip: The Newbie Guide
March 4, 2008 17:06
A lot of people visit this site, visit the blogs, then email me and say,"Wow -- cool! How can I do that?"
Well, I've posted a whole bunch of blogging tips here that you do need to read. And Dr. Mike gave us some reasons why missionaries should blog in the first place. But I wanted to point out an excellent introduction to blogging in general by Dustin Wax over at Lifehack.org. It's titled The Newbie Guide to Blogging, but I would guess that 95% of the 480 active missionary bloggers that are being watched here could use at least a few of these tips.
Check it out, take the ideas seriously, and make your blog even better in the year ahead!

Holy Week
March 21, 2008 08:46
Here are simply some thoughts of various missionary bloggers regarding Holy Week and the death and resurrection of the Lord.
First, what's up with that Nicodemus guy? A "cyber psalm" for Good Friday. More thoughts on Good Friday - On Glory and Devastation, and It's All Good. A glimpse of the Philippines shows us what's going on in many parts of the world today. How about some ideas of what to do over the weekend? Some thoughts on the big picture to chew on. And finally a good old tomb roll call.

Celebrating 5 years of blogging
March 25, 2008 16:09
It's no small feat to keep a blog running for 5 years. But this year we have several more bloggers that are celebrating a half-decade. Feel free to drop by and offer them your congrats!- Quirey Life (Brazil) has more life than ever - they've been celebrating the birth of Jackson Turner Quirey.
- The Poulette Family(Mexico) has been writing lately about Jesus, His death and Resurrection. Of course, the Poulettes have another newer blog - Mexico Movies, which has given many of us a great introduction to vlogging over the past 3 years.
- Carroll Chronicles (Germany) is a bright family focused blog, writing about things like Married at the age of Five!? and Please DO Feed the Animals!
- Comings Communiqué (Brazil) is a blog with rich variety. Read recent thoughts on prayer and some news items.
- AGENText (Argentina) used to be mexiText. Still going strong with a fresh change of country, you can read about The Unexpected and Lacking Rhythm, Not Life
- Erin's Entry (Nigeria) is actually new around here, but not new to the blogosphere. Erin recently wrote about In Sickness and in Health..., and the post Last Friday... is long but not to be missed if you want to learn about Nigerian culture.
- I have to give honourable mention to The Happenings in Madrid, which, although there hasn't been a post in a while, has been a long time familiar face.
