Christian blog about church website design
Click to go back to the site, to the collection of free Christian website templates and our nice church website design.A Christian community is what I need here, maybe a Christian forum
When I launched this website I didn’t think of a community, but now I think more and more about it. A Christian community of website designers. I would like that people come here and meet, speak, etc. This requires a forum. A forum would be the best idea. Well, just that I had a forum and all I could say about it is that it got fast filled with spam comments. And I don’t have the time to clean it everyday.
However, I am not sure that this is the idea that I like about a community, I think I would like first to have people joining my site and upload Christian templates, like an open design community based on religious themes. This is what I would like to have here. Of course that people need to interact in order to call it a community. A Christian community, that is.So I would need a way to make people discuss…and I come back to that forum that I don’t quite like.
I thought about this blog as starting a community but I realize that I am using it more and more to transmit ideas, to tell you what I do and how the site’s been. And that’s about all! No community, right? Well and I come back to my forum again. A Christian web design forum.
A Christian forum would be a time eater
However, a forum is not easy to start and grow. One thing that you really need it is time to make it work. And that is what I miss here: time! I never have enough time for it. What I like about a website is that is a bit less of a time eater and more of a resource that needs boosting when you have a bit of time and you struggle to push it forward and let it go further. This is the way I am doing it now. I know that the best thing to do for a website is to always work on it, day and night and to maintain it every single moment, so the site feels “alive”! That is one of the best things to do for a website, just that this requires that the site bring you enough revenue so you can live out of it. And this site doesn’t bring me that much.
However, I like to grow it for the future. Considerings the (small) boost I’ve felt these last days, I think it is a good way to go. Just that I come back thinking about that forum and about a community and about Christian designers interacting here on the site.
What do you think, would it be good to have a forum?

I have open up a new Christian forum, and you are invited to use it, and also moderate it, as an extention of your site. Rev. A.R.Smith
