I was all excited that I saw a bunch of comments on all the articles on the site. Turns out it was spam. I have installed some filters and spam blacklists to prevent such floods in the future.

I thought I’d summarize the feature requests we have so far:

1. Schedule of Worship
2. Schedule of Events
3. Photo Gallery
4. Member Profiles/Directory
5. Small Group Directory
6. Prayer Requests
7. Bible Trivia
8. Online Archive of Bulletins and Lamplighters
9. Sunday School Information
10. About MACoB (History, Mission Statement)
11. Youth News
12. Invitation to Worship

As you can see, we’ve got quite a list! I have a photo gallery (3) set up and running, and I’m currently investigating what our best options are for a calendar of events (1 & 2) would be.

4 through 7 are going to require some digging around for software or some custom coding on my part, so they will take a while.

8 through 12 will require some help! We’re going to need writers and editors to keep the news and information on the site up to date!
