Mark Moore — a seminarian who does not, so far as I know, blog — asked me for names of people and sites who had useful things to say about congregations and the web. (He was thinking especially of last year, when we had a spectacular (if under-attended) series of presentations by Web luminaries.) I pointed him to Jordon Cooper, whom he would find on my blogroll. Mark then had to tell me that Jordon wasn’t on my blogroll, which was embarrassing (I read his RSS feed, so I hadn't noticed about my blogroll; he’s there now). Jordon doesn’t pontificate about what congregations ought and ought not do on the web, but he brings many voices into the conversation, and his own perspective commands tremendous respect from me. Add in Dean Esmay Peters’s Heal Your Church Web Site, which does tackle web topics head-on, and you’re off to the races.
Whom else? I like reading Andrew Careaga, and of course now my long-time online friend Dave “C & E” Rogers has started blogging again with a real storm of pertinent entries. Whom am I leaving out (cos I know I’m omitting someone)?

Posted by: Andrew Careaga at January 19, 2004 10:23 AMThanks for the link ... but as long as I can recall, I've been Dean Peters, not Dean Esmay!-)
D’oh!
I knew you weren’t Dean Landsman, and I knew you weren’t Dean Allen, and I knew you weren’t Howard Dean, and you weren’t Dean of Seabury, — so by process of elimination, I figured you were Dean Esmay.
Sorry — next time I shold just check. Meanwhile, I’ll correct your name above. And thank you for your wonderful campaign for richteous web design!
