Cool Interactive Section

[Susan]

  Christy,  I have been having fun exploring this web site. It is excellent & I especially like the interactive section.  I've been trying to get the word out a bit about it.  It's been fun exploring it, but I'm so lonely  .... Seems no one is one when I'm on.  Also seems that there are not many new things added.  I am willing to experiment at the risk of not really knowing what I am doing  , but I think that this has such potential!  Sure hope others begin to participate also.  There, that was a fun exercise in using the tools.   Hope it works...

hi susan! i am hoping that a revised version of the notice about the changes here will be included as an insert in the next bulletin. i am HOPING that will get people coming around more! especially if we can get some people interested in the live prayer feature. i think that would be a very useful tool, not only for church members, but for people all over las vegas. hey, would you be interested in being one of the live prayer people?

i wonder if adding a live chatroom to the forum would be worthwhile? then if people were on here at the same time, they could have some real fun talking back and forth....

i'm glad you are enjoying the site! i could add more games if you like playing them... i've just been too lazy to do it. actually i've been too busy to do it LOL. i went to california when my oldest daughter had surgery, and then i come back to find out my youngest daughter and her husband have decided to pack up and move to idaho, of all places.

i could use some help adding praise and worship videos to the forums.... would you like to search out some good ones on youtube or godtube, or on xianz, and put them on here?

hey susan! i added a chatroom... so now all we gotta do is figure out when we'll both be online!

   Hey Christie!!  Things are developing just fine.  There is so much that sometimes I miss posts/messages.  But the more I use it, the easier it gets.  When I find a person on line, how do I get them to the chat room?  I also would love to post some praise videos, but I think I need a crash course.  So, what's the first step?  Probably to visit the sites, huh?  Then I'm lacking in direction (that's lost) So, I'm willing.....
   I did start exploring some of the praise & it is so cool!!!  I'm really enjoying your work here.  I brought Kendra along the other day to see the videos & we explored the camping pictures. 
   I wish I had time to post a little daily devotional.  I'd like to write it myself.
   I hereby encourage everyone who is experimenting with the web site to just have fun & play with it.  Try to post something, don't be shy.  If I can do it......

yeah, i know what ya mean, LOL, i've missed this one for how many days? five??? wow. shame on me!

as for getting someone who is online into chat, you could try posting them a message or a private message and see if they get it before logging out! it would be nice if this forum had an option of some notification that there was private messages in the box... or to auto-forward to their email address, but it's not available in THIS version. maybe in a future upgrade.

posting videos is much easier than you'd think. for instance, on youtube, to the right of the video there is a little box that has a couple of options... one says URL, the other says EMBED. just highlight and copy the stuff in the little text-field next to EMBED, and paste it in here on the board.

give it a try, i promise you won't break anything!

Well, roger that, Christie, sounds easy enough.  I'm going to give it a try...
