I’ve just added a screenshot to my design portfolio for work I did for kirkyouth.net
Kirkyouth is the youth ministry of Kirkplace Church. This website is hosted for free at www.wordpress.com and is a basic customisation of one of their free templates.

Close followers on twitter would know that one of my favourite cafes is at the Carriageworks in Eveleigh. The Carriageworks is more than just a cafe, it’s a “a bold new arts centre, dedicated to the development and presentation of the contemporary arts.” The building is over 100 years old and was originally used to build trains. So it’s a cool combo of old school with new school. I took Rowena and Sam there last week and got some good (for a mobile phone) photos in one of the warehouses.

Graham Stanton wrote a great post today about some of the dangers he’s found since using twitter. He paraphrases 1 Corinthians 6:12 – ‘Twitter is permissible, and may even be beneficial; but I will not be mastered by anything’ and then outlines his strategies for not being mastered by twitter. Here are his four points:

3. Being constantly occupied with thinking I should be tweeting something profound
2. Mistaking Twitter for the Bread of Life
1. Living my life for the praise of men

I’ve recently installed BackType Tweetcount and Su.pr URL shortener on dmdc. What does this mean? 1) There is a number in the bottom right corner of each blog post displaying how many times it has been tweeted. 2) A button so you can easily retweet. 3) su.pr makes short web addresses for each post eg. davemiers.com/vCmV
Interested in doing it on your site? Check out church crunch for the how-to (there’s one bit of code you need to change – see it in the comments on that post).
