		<description>Andy,

I&#039;d be real careful about where you put that link.  While you want it somewhere the members can easily access it, having &quot;Capital Campaign&quot; be a focal point your home page will look really bad to visitors.  I&#039;d think maybe put it as an item under &quot;Resources&quot;, then mention it at church (&quot;for more info about the campaign, visit the Resources section of our website&quot;).</description>

		<description>Hey Mickey,

I have a question about our churchweb site and thought you might be able to give me some feedback...

I have recently designed a section of the site devoted to our Capital Campaign Program (the program aimed at raising money for our new church building) Where would be a good place to put this link?  I can take away the &quot;Resources&quot; menu item but then would need a place to put &quot;links&quot; and then make &quot;Capital Campaign&quot; a menu item.  Any feedback at all would be awesome.

Thanks so much for your time - Andy</description>

		<description>Superb!  That&#039;s looking good.

One last tweak -- don&#039;t title it &quot;June, 2009&quot; on the page or in the nav.  Just call it the calendar since it covers a wide range of dates.  Nice job.</description>

		<description>Alright I took all of your advice and even gave it a little bit more color.

One thing I did was instead of posting regular church wide events (i.e..worship service, Bible Studies) for each and every month I just posted them for the current month.  And then past the current month I posted all other events:

		<description>It&#039;s getting there.  A few thoughts:

-- The nav still calls it &quot;May, 2009&quot;.
-- Don&#039;t say &quot;more info&quot;. Instead, simply link the relevant text to those pages.  It&#039;s more natural and it&#039;ll help with Google.
-- Go further out.  I posted three events for 2010 on our church site today, and you don&#039;t even have any in July yet?  Go as far out as you can.</description>

		<description>Hey Mickey,

I worked on some things on the calendar page as you suggested in your review of the Crossroads Christian Church web site.  I was wondering if you could look it over again and give me some more feedback:  www.crossroadsnsb.org/calendar  Thanks</description>

		<description>No problem.  Let&#039;s use this page as an example:

http://www.crossroadsnsb.org/aboutus_believe.html

The title of the page, written in white near the top, is &quot;What we Believe&quot;.  Rather than putting that in &quot;p&quot; tags like you have now, use &quot;h1&quot; tags instead.  Use can use CSS to style them to look any way you want.  Every page should have at least one H1 tag on it, telling Google what the page is about.

In the case of this page, it&#039;s got some other serious code problems.  There&#039;s no title tag at all, and it&#039;s missing some VERY basic tags like &quot;body&quot; and &quot;html&quot;.  Other pages don&#039;t have that problem, so you can probably cut and paste from those to clean it back up.</description>
