Avast! Free Virus Scanner
Although the internet is filled with many threats to the security of our
PC, it is also filled with many helpful web sites that help us scan, identify,
and remove any malicious code that may have entered our computer system. One
of these helpful sites is Avast! Avast! has a free antivirus tool for personal
and non-commercial sites - like the information given in a Catholic web site.

Another important tool for basic web site development is a FTP client
- a tool that uploads all your web site's pages and files to the server
of your web host. CoreFTP can do this for your Catholic web site. This
is a free software which can be downloaded easily and saved to a PC
system. With an FTP client available for easy uploading and re-uploading
of edited web pages, we can keep our Catholic web site in
top condition.
PixelMill Church Templates
The templates we use in this Catholic web site are from PixelMill. If
ever you decide to purchase a set of templates for your own individual
or family Catholic web site, instead of designing your own web pages,
then it is good to really purchase quality Church templates. You can
browse the products of PixelMill and see what set of Church templates
may fit the budget you decide to use for your Catholic web site project.

Windows Vista Starter for a Catholic web site network
If you are still on Windows XP, then it would be good at this point of
time, to think about upgrading to Windows Vista. Although Windows will
still support XP for an extended period of time, eventually there would
be a need to upgrade to the next Windows OS developed after XP: Windows
Vista. For a Catholic web site developer to network, build, and create
many Catholic links all over the internet, Windows Vista Starter would
be right to begin with. It is the most affordable of the Vista versions,
and yet still retaining the good quality of a Vista production.

Genius ColorPage-Slim Scanner
One of the good and affordable scanners in the market is the Genius
ColorPage-Slim Scanner. One purpose of building a Catholic web site is
to network with Catholics in other parts of the world. Therefore, we
need to upload Catholic images and photos that would present the web
site as a Catholic web site. For this computer operation, we need a
scanner. And a Genius scanner will best serve our objectives.

Matrix Combo Hub to Store Catholic Web Site Pages and Files
The files that we save in our hard disk are not permanent. They sometimes
disappear due to technical glitches. Therefore, if we want our Catholic
web site to have a longer life, we need to make not only back-ups of the
original, but also back-ups of back-ups. Matrix Combo Hub can both
accommodate flash drives and memory cards - both removable file storage devices.
We can back-up and save all the files of our Catholic web site through
this simple combo hub. One version of a Matrix Combo Hub can accommodate
three flash drives and three memory cards. To get more information on
Matrix Combo Hub, visit this
page. To also get more information on flash
drives and memory cards, go to TwinMOS.com.
Unlike other printers which have a printer head integrated in their system,
HP Deskjet Printers have their printer heads located in their ink cartridges.
In other printer systems, when the printer head deteriorates, you need to but
a new printer for your PC. But with HP Deskjet Printers, each ink cartridge
replacement that you purchase, has a new printer head combined with it. In
this HP printer system, we are able to save more money and your printer
system lasts much longer. A computer printer would come in handy in building
a Catholic web site when we need to print out the lessons for study on
ethical search engine optimization techniques.
Notebooks to Write Catholic Articles and 3-Ring Binders
We always need to insure that whatever we have written for our Catholic
web site, can remain also in written or printed form. Web hosts can fail,
and so do file storage devices. If we however, have the good habit of
writing our Catholic articles on notebooks, and then filing them in order,
then even if our web host fails or our file storage devices bogs down, we
still have the record of our written work as back-ups. If the Holy Scriptures,
which is more than 2,000 years old, and had been copied by hand and then
reproduced in hard print, still exists today, then there is certainly
a wisdom of longevity in working with written material even in our very
digital environment.
3-ring binders are also handy when it comes to record all the information
related to our Catholic web site and blog: URLs, titles, various statistics,
a record of our SEO activities, related resource links, link partners, and
other data linked with the building of a Catholic web site network. 3-ring
binders are inexpensive and they can be used over and over again.
Creative Commons License
Since our work is for non-commercial purposes, we can get a Creative
Commons License for our Catholic web site. With a Creative Commons
License, we are assured that our work will not be used for commercial
purposes. To get a Creative Commons License for our Catholic web site,
all we need to do is to fill up the required information in the site
and get the code for the License to copy and paste in all of our
web pages.

Privacy Policy for a Catholic web site
To meet the standards of the Web and to obtain credibility for our
Catholic web site, we need to have a privacy policy generated for the
site. This would especially be useful for non-Catholic internet-minded
business people, who may discover our Catholic web site in one of their
searches. If they see a privacy policy in our Catholic web site, they
will very well know what this means: that their privacy is safeguarded
by us. To generate a privacy policy for our Catholic web site, we can
get it at
DMA Privacy Policy Generator.
Firefox Browser as an Alternative
It is good to have an alternative browser at hand in our PC system. It can
happen that in our computer work, what we need to do in one browser does not
work. But if we have two or more browsers at hand, we can obtain the results
we need through these other browsers. One alternative browser that we can
use is Firefox. To download Firefox, visit the
Mozilla Firefox download
page.
Daily Liturgical Guide and the Sunday Pocket Lectionary
So that the building of our Catholic web site network is connected to the
living, liturgical, and sacramental life of the Church, we also need to have
a Daily Liturgical Guide which gives the references for the liturgical readings
of each day for a year. Also, if we have the opportunity to stretch our budget,
we can purchase a Sunday Pocket Lectionary or the Vatican II Sunday Missal.
Both these books give the liturgical prayers and readings for the Sunday
Eucharists. Referring to these liturgical guides can keep us in step with
the prayer life of the Church, and also deepen our Catholic spirituality
as Catholic web site developers and networkers.
