Today I was able to use my web designing skills and tools to help two people/organizations that have impacted the Campbell home in great and somewhat significant ways. That is so great! I can’t even really believe I get to do that! (And one of them is paying me!) 🙂
The God Journey – Wayne Jacobsen
We have hooked up with a guy who has gone through some similar thinking and experiences regarding this crazy relationship God has offered us with himself. We have really enjoyed his perspective offered through books and various audio recordings we have from him. They have helped us process some things God is working in us. Great stuff.
So, last week, with the advent of podcasting to the iTunes Music Store, I began thinking that it would be great to have The God Journey in among these other offerings. But I wasn’t sure if I should proceed that direction or not. Finally, last night Wayne posted a request for help in doing just that! Awesome! So, this morning I happily researched, and fairly quickly put together the feed that allows The God Journey to be an RSS 2.0 Podcast feed (accessible in RSS readers and other podcast software, such as the new iTunes 4.9)
It was so fun to be able to help out and give back in that way! Awesome!
Here’s a link to the RSS Feed (below). If you have iTunes 4.9, you can drag that link into the Podcast window, and any new podcasts will be automatically downloaded and put in the proper folder by iTunes. Pretty nifty.
EzzoTruth.com
Many of you know that we have used the principles taught in the Growing Kids God’s Way class from Growing Families International since before Ian was born. (Um, well… we knew them since then…) And some of you might have heard of all the slanderous junk thrown about on the internet about not only the curriculum, but the Ezzos (the authors) themselves. None of it is even based in stuff taught in the course! It’s quite sad.
So, I wanted to do some kind of website to counter the bad that is so prevalent out there. But, I gave up due to lack of time, and need to spend my time earning money to pay our bills.
Through a very cool and strange set of circumstances, I discovered a couple who are doing just that! But, they lacked the web design tools and expertise (and perhaps patience!) to actually get the site up and running. Through a few emails, they offered to pay me to do it!! Oh my!
So, I get to put together a site that I think is very valuable and needed, and I get paid for it too!
God is so amazing. I am thanking him today for letting me be part of the things he has used to bring us closer to him, and to help our family know him even more.
Stay tuned for links to the EzzoTruth site.
It’s been almost three months since this announcement, and I’m still getting the “coming soon” page. When will it be up?
Welcome to the world of web design. At least, my corner of it. The website is complete on my end, but the client is still working on some content, and making a few more cosmetic changes… including changing the domain name! But, right after I received the email mentioning your commment, I got an email from this client (the EzzoTruth.com folks) saying:
Hello Greg,
Well, it looks like we are coming close to winding up this site, finally. Thanks so much for your help. We have, I think, one last major push to get done. We will be sending you a few things to line up on the site.
Ha! Good timing. So, stay tuned. Keep hitting refresh. It should show up this week. We can always hope.
🙂
including changing the domain name!
Do you know what the new domain name will be? Thanks!
Hey TulipGirl
Thanks for checkin in. They are pretty much done. Now, the delay is becuase of someone else trying to publish websites at the same time, and they are not done. It will all be one big explosion of positive information on the Ezzos and their stuff as soon as it is finally released… but don’t hold your breath.
I might post a little note on my blog here once it’s public.
Well, I promised I would let you know when it was published… they’re up! Check out EzzoTruth.com.
Did you do the design for GaryEzzo.Com, GaryEzzo.net, GrowingKidsGodsWay.Com, EzzoParenting.com, etc?
Hey TulipGirl 🙂
Nope. I did not. Usually I put a little logo thingie or something on the sites that I design. Fyi. 🙂
