In 2009, the Present Testimony Ministry website was renovated and unveiled. The address of the site — PTMIN.org.
Last week, however, we put the puppy to sleep. That being translated means: we took the website down.
PTMIN.org automatically redirects to this blog now.
Why?
- It became too difficult to manage two large websites – this blog and the PTM web page.
- Daily traffic was being split between the two sites.
- My blog is more important than the website due to the fresh content that is regularly posted here. So we prefer that new people visit the blog rather than the website.
As far as I can see (right now at least), there is no fall-out from making this move.
All the resources that were available on PTMIN.org have been moved to the blog and updated.
Here are some of the most viewed pages that have moved. You may want to bookmark them:
The Mediography (scores of free downloads)
The Podcast (over 50 free audios with more to come)
The Contact Page (how to contact me)
The Speaking Invitation Page (for conference hosts and pastors wanting me to speak)
The Events Notification (for those wishing to be notified about events near you)
The Quarterly Newsletter Update (for those wishing to receive my quarterly update)
My Library (all my books discounted and bundled into a package)
The Best Christian Books on Kindle
The 100 Best Academic Christian Books and Commentaries
My Books in Different Translations
My Books for Those Living in (or From) Europe
For those of you who are new to the blog, check out the About page which outlines the mission of this blog as well as the Rules for Commenting.
That’s it.
I hope these resources bless you and deepen your relationship with the Lord.
If you have a blog or website, we would appreciate a link to http://frankviola.org
Thanks so much!
I think this link is broken…
Willow Creek Review (Article)
I like to read what did Willow Creek Review had to say about DECONSTRUCTING CHRISTENDOM, but it is not there. Can you dig that out please?
Did you find it on the Mediography. If so, the link is fixed. Try it now.
Yes the link is fixed, thank you!
The site was a great blessing, the blog is too. The combination will definely shake much more hearts and brains.
Thanks for removing the doubt as to what was happening on the werbsite.

I’m for anything that gives people more time in real life and less time on the computer. I agree that your blog is more important and I’m glad you are devoting your time to it. I know as a blog writer, I soon lose what makes my writing relevant to others when I spend too much time logged on and tuned out from the people in my life.

Cool i was wondering what happened.
Good move dear brother and it was wise to let the old domain work for you to forward links for a season before you made this move. Also you have done the redirect script well so that should help maintain the link priority in google. (for those less technically inclined ignore this message
).
now you just need to setup an iTunes podcast for ChristIsAll and you are set
Thx. for the encouragement, Greg. I believe the podcast is set up for iTunes. This should get one there: itpc://ptmin.podbean.com/feed
Thanks for the update Frank. And yes, I have been abundantly blessed by all the resources on your blog!
I was all sad thinking you actually had to put a puppy to sleep…but I think cutting out the website and consolidating everything on the blog was a good idea.
Thatz kewl! A one stop shop does it all.
I think that’s a great move. I always recommend clients I’m working with to keep their blog and informational site in the same location for SEO purposes and just simplicity.
It was a good (but tough) decision. Maintaining multiple websites does get difficult.
This way, directing all the traffic to one domain will help all your rankings.
