Some of my most popular blog posts are author-blogger related. (You can read them all in the Archives.)
Among them is a recent post I wrote called Advice for Christian Authors.
In that piece, I talk about building a readership of people who share the same passion that you communicate in your writing. Building a website is one way to do this. A blog is another. And of course Twitter, which I highly recommend.
On this point, I have a friend who happens to be an incredibly creative and highly-skilled website and graphics designer. The very best that I know.
Yesterday, he finished creating three new websites for my work. These sites feature many free resources. They also include some connectivity tools for Facebook and Twitter.
You can take a look at his designs here (each one matches the book it’s named after):
https://www.frankviola.org/frometernitytohere/ – be sure to click “Refresh” so you can see the new look.
www.PaganChristianity.org – be sure to click “Refresh” so you can see the new look.
www.ReimaginingChurch.org – be sure to click “Refresh” so you can see the new look.
He also upgraded the “Answers to Questions, Critiques, and Objections to Pagan Christianity and Reimagining Church Page.” Click here to view it (be sure you click “Refresh” so you can see the new look).
He also created the Jesus Manifesto website which is updated regularly with free resources. Check it out at www.theJesusManifesto.com – be sure to click “Refresh” so you can see the most recent updates.
Since the first three sites are new, if you see any problems with them, please make a comment and we’ll take care of it.
If you like the look of these sites, and you are interested in receiving a quote from my friend for your own site, his information is listed on the right-hand bottom of the first three sites. He also hosts web servers, and he’s a great graphics artist. So he’ll take care of everything you need.
Rediscovering the Triune Nature of God
A little late to respond I guess. Just wanted to say that it is always a pleasure working with you, an incredible writer & friend. Thanks for your kind words my brother 🙂
they look great!
Oh yea!
Frank, just wondering if you are planning on reading Rob Bell’s “Love Wins” and doing a review? I’d be interested in your thoughts.
Bob: No, I have no plans to. What I said here is my take on the whole subject. The book “4 Views on Hell” does a good job covering the issue and how complex some of the specifics are. It’s a very old debate. Like I said in the opening, “after I’ve finished exploring the riches of Christ . . . ” 🙂
Thanks Frank for the variety of topics on your blog like this one. I don’t comment much but look forward on a regular basis not only to reading your thoughts but also the comments posted.
Haha! I thought this post was going to talk about the “Real” Designer! “Introducing an Incredible Designer” would be a great title for a book about the Creator! Do you mind if I use it? Great stuff, really 🙂
Yes, he is the best!
Yes, very good. I’ve always been blown away by David Cook artists (idk if this is the same person) but whomever it is, is very talented in that area
Michael: Thanks. You know the person. Read the bottom right-hand side of the sites. 🙂
Wow! Gorgeous sites. Great improvement from the earlier ones.
