Good afternoon CWM community,
I’m excited to share with you some recently added features which better integrate the main Christian-web-masters.com site with our webmaster community forums.
As many of you may know, I upgraded CWM’s front-end to the Drupal content management system about three months ago. I have found Drupal to be an excellent content management system for running Christian-web-masters.com.
As mentioned in the post titled, “What’s New on CWM” future additions to the upgrades would include:
In order to remain on target with the mission and vision of CWM, those of us on staff must continue to ask ourselves, “What Makes Christian-Web-Masters.com any different from other Website Design and Development Sites and Forums?”
Many of the articles and tutorials on CWM, and many of the discussions held on the Christian Web Master Forums, cover the same topics found on other popular webmaster sites. In fact, those sites like SitePoint.com and AListApart.com have a level of participation and meet “excellence” standards that CWM continues to strive towards.
In discussing new articles to be posted on Christian-web-masters.com, CWM staff member Luke (iLuke) recently explained to another staff member:
The purpose here isn't to compete with sites like SitePoint or pixel2life -- the major focus would be substantially different (even if the content is hugely overlapping). Coming from a Christian perspective, and with the ability to interact in a Christian environment will be what sets this apart. It is not an easy thing to present the basics of HTML from a Christian perspective (there simply isn't a great deal of content there), however, having the ability to discuss the basics of HTML within a Christian community because of a basic article that you read would offer real advantages to a new webmaster.
I also just came across this post from CWM member tjsingleton on his In Awe of Him Ministry site:
Where can you find caring people who enjoy helping others and love Christ? Christian-Web-Masters (CWM) hands down. There are people from all over the world willing to share with you web tips, encourage you to keep it up, and make sure your site doesn't look tacky. (You should have seen my previous design. Just kidding.) Javascript, PHP, Photoshop, SEO and more. It all can be found at CWM and even more.
