		<description>Carol -- Excellent question about the &quot;odds and ends&quot;.  I hesitate to ever create a section of just &quot;other&quot; stuff, but that&#039;s really what you have.

You&#039;d be best to put those items in proper areas; perhaps put the &quot;bishop letters&quot; in the &quot;about our church&quot; section, for example, but that might not really be possible with all of them.</description>

		<description>Hi, Mickey,

Thanks for this information. I thought my page names were decent, but I can tell that they are certainly lacking. This is one improvement I can make no matter what level of knowledge I have. I didn&#039;t realize that spelling out the church name would make a difference in how Google ranks the website, but that makes sense. I am also of the opinion that it would not hurt to follow the state by USA because not all people who look at a website are from the United States and know where what we are talking about. I feel that way since we have so many people on our website from foreign countries...especially the Philippines, India, the UK, and Kenya. It may be because I am in touch with people in these countries.

I am in the process of redesigning our website. I am going to simplify it considerably and use pictures more.

Mickey, this may not be the place to ask this question, but I will ask. If it isn&#039;t, you can let me know. Our website has considerable information that would fall into a miscellaneous category...Bishops letters, stray information, Bible Challenge, etc. What is a good way to present them and with what kind of category title? People seem to enjoy the material, and I enjoy finding it and offering it. It is not specifically about the church, but the material is &quot;church stuff.&quot; I was thinking of just having an &quot;Odds and Ends&quot; category in the navigation. Let me know your thinking if you have time.

Thanks!
Carol</description>

		<description>Kevin,

That&#039;s a good point.  In retrospect, your way is probably better.

The main thing is that EITHER way is better than 95% of churches currently do it. :)</description>
