Welcome Baby Bela!

Bela Hope arrived in the world on Sunday, June 27th, 2010 at 8:14am weighing 9 lbs and 2 oz!

I’ll fill in names as people let me know what days they want to do. I checked with the family and there are no allergies or food preferences, but there are three little ones, so keep them in mind when choosing foods. Feel free to adjust a date to what works for you. The dates below are just guidelines.   Again, we try to provide a double meal, so there’s leftovers for the family for one night. Thanks!!!

Meals for the Hayes:

Wed. June 30th:  Wigtons

Fri. July 2nd:  Clara

Tues. July 6th: Lonnie Hartzler

Thurs. July 8th: Anna Lobner

Tues. July 13th: Jess Stock

Thurs. July 15th: Holly Miller-Eshleman

New page: current events

I just created a new page for posts on current events at lifebridge. Becca had proposed using it to communicate on how to distribute meals to the families with babies, and maybe even plan a gardening schedule this spring. Now its up and running. If you find any bugs, just let me know

Web Design – general conclusions…

Ok, after much deliberation , Diego and I have come to several conclusions concerning the church webpage:

Home page – all colors; Individual pages – each a different color
Top bar must always be the same color
Diego likes a tabbed menu – also likes a line of color above or below menu items… – maybe not tabs, but faded color bar…
Only one main photo at a time… a central image on the home page should draw you in (An image can make or break a site)…Play with color in images to make certain elements stand out
Diego doesn’t like Bradley script font…
When we have a great photo – use a black/white/grey border right around the main photo
Use a good transition of central image – maybe a vertical rollover in flash…
Micah – spread out primary colors – not so much contrast
Maybe use diagonal stripes on top bar… but they can’t be distracting…
Try to use more paper textures than wood
Keep it centered

Hey! Get a Profile Pic!

If you guys are wondering “wow, how are diego and micah so amazing, how do they have a litte picture” well its easy to be amazing (just not as amazing as us) you can go to www.gravatar.com and then just enter your wordpress information, or, i think tou have to make a gravatar account, then you add a pic and then in like some minutes it will change it. :d

Web Design Ideas – 3

OK SO HERE ARE 2 PICTURES, 1 OF THEM IS THE MODIFIED OF THE OTHER ONE (THE MODIFIED HAS THE BLUE BAR ON TOP), FRIEDA SAYS THEY ARE TO FANCY SCMANCY FOR THE WEBSITE BUT I STILL FELT LIKE PUTTING IT UP HERE!

Web Design Ideas – 2

Ok, here are a few more ideas, let me know what you think…

By the way, it would be great if other people from church, besides me and diego, gave feedback on these designs… just remember to look at the overall structure… this is what we’re deciding right now… it is easy to tweek and improve a design once we have decided on it.

Also, for the next week or so I’ll just continue to edit this post with new design photos  instead of creating new posts, so even if there are no new posts there may be some new designs!

Web Design Ideas – 1

The following files are ideas for the re-designing of the church webpage. Diego and I worked on these last Sunday. Sorry I wasn’t able to upload them until today… (at home we have dial up)
By the way, (diego), in the future we should just use the church blog to communicate at school… we can use the youth group category for now.

PASTORA STELLA

Tenemos un nuevo grupo de niños, en un barrio vecino a nuestra iglesia, los reunimos en un parque y le damos estudios biblicos para niños; esta tarea la hacen los jovenes adolescentes de la iglesia. Oren para que estos niños, lleguen a la iglesia con sus familias.

I’m Sawesome

hahaha I like the title (super + awesome) ………….. Ok so , well this is a pretty cool website-blog-thingy to write stuff in, But if I had a clue how to help Micah….I’m pretty sure it would be better hahaha, no seriously it would , I told Micah that the color bars on the top left that they should have like some link to a different subject (like there is the mother church blog then youth group, that each color was a different one but when you passed the mouse over it a name saying youth group or mother church would pop out or smoothly slide over…….. but he has no clue how to do that and well of course………….. neither do I )

Powerpoint

Just to let everyone know, we just bought office 2007 home & student for the church laptop. I should be able to spice up the powerpoints on Sunday with this… if you have any great templates or cool backgrounds, send them to me – blue and green backgrounds usually show up best on the wall in the sanctuary.
