 Contents of our Free Catholic eBook - Free Catholic eBook Download
Introduction
Of all the many free Catholic eBooks available, our Catholic eBook specializes
in basic web site development for Catholic individuals and families. Witnessing to Jesus
in the new digital environment (which Pope Benedict XVI speaks about in his 43rd World
Communications Day Message) can be as simple as maintaining a Catholic blog, or as
developed as a small Catholic web site and blog network - both used as a stable
platform for social networking activities. Our free Catholic eBook gives
information on how to create your own Catholic blog. And, if your time
and resources permit, you can also decide to create a small Catholic web site -
integrating social bookmarking, social networking, and other file sharing activities.
Below are the table of contents of our free Catholic eBook. This free Catholic eBook
you can easily download to your desktop area. All we ask in return for the eBook is
a link back from your blog or web site.
1 - Home Page of eBook
This main page introduces the topics in the eBook. It begins by
saying that the eBook is available for Catholic individuals and families who
are interested to join the lay Catholic mission in the new digital continent.
All the topics give basic guidelines and added details for small web site development,
blog development and social networking techniques.
2 - Free Accounts
Building a blog and web site is a gradual process. To start,
you need to be familiar with posting to blogs, and to know the
basic elements of small web site development. This page suggests a free blog
hosting account and a free web hosting account. At this stage of
learning, we can help ourselves by being familiar with the
technology of blogs and web site development.
3 - Books and Resources
This page suggests computer books and link resources to help you with
building a small Catholic web site and blog. Four of the books are basic, while
the other four are advanced in techniques. The last four are also important
to make your site more interactive for your readers. As for the link resources,
these give information about certain groups that specifically help Catholics learn
the basics of writing on the Web. An article on the site also can help you become
a member of a network of Catholic web sites and blogs.
4 - Web Host Services
We had the opportunity to know four web hosting services in building
our small Catholic web site and blog network. Each web hosting account has its
unique advantages and special features - each one suited for a specific way
you want to build your Catholic blog and web site. What we learned from these four
web hosting services will help you decide what is best for you and your specific
preferences.
5 - Tools and Content
This page has many details on tools and sources of ideas for web
content development. Many of the tools suggested are free. The only
important element that is required is the operating system. If you
already have Windows XP, then that is still viable. In
the near future though, you may want to consider purchasing
Windows Vista Starter - the most affordable of the Vista versions.
6 - Gallery
This page gives ideas on the use of graphics and images in enhancing
your Catholic blog and web site. It suggests a scanner to scan and upload
photos to the site, and a graphics editor to make your pictures clearer
and brighter. It also presents a Gallery page on our web site where you can
get free images for your free blog and web site hosting accounts.
7 - Family Project
The unique difference of building a Catholic blog and web site is
that it can be rooted in the living, liturgical and sacramental life
of your parish: one which can give the Catholic individual or family
inspiration, support and encouragement to build their Catholic blog,
site and social network. Whether as an individual or family project,
the success of your Catholic web site, blog and social network, is
directly proportional to the degree of charity you have virtuously
exercised for your family, relatives, friends, and companions in
your parish lay ministry.
8 - Additional Resources
This page gives additional details on many other resources not yet
mentioned in the previous pages of the eBook: 1. Catholic web sites
and web development links; 2. lists for prayer and inspiration; 3. a search engine
optimization list for learning SEO; 4. bibles and books; 5. software and templates; and
6. web sites of religious congregations with media apostolates.
9 - Way of Proceeding
We offer a way of proceeding to build a small Catholic blog, web site,
and social network. This way of proceeding helped us gain a foothold on the Net,
and to link with others that are helpful and supportive to the lay Catholic
mission on the Web. This way of proceeding we have discovered during the
process of building, helped us enter into the mainstream of the internet.
10 - Network Advantage
The advantage of being part of this network we started building in
2002, will help you save time and money (you need not build a network
on your own). Our network helped us obtain a global outreach because
of its rootedness in a former Yahoo! list. So, when you start to build
your Catholic blog, join our network by enlisting your Catholic blog in
one of our Catholic WebRings.
11 - Helps and Hints
This page gives helps and hints for: 1. deciding on a focus for your
Catholic blog and web site; 2. discovering a Catholic SEO idea; 3. developing
your focus by building on other ideas; 4. helping you decide which web
hosting service to use; and 5. finding a good domain name for your Catholic
blog and web site.
12 - Beginning Simple
As in any venture or project, you need to learn the basics and to begin
simple. This page suggests that you keep refer to the eBook regularly when
learning the techniques in small Catholic web site development. The eBook
can help you organize your startup Catholic blog. Then the articles in
the site can keep you updated of any new information which can help in
building your Catholic blog and web site. Learning web development is a
fulfilling experience. It gives joy in learning and a sense of achievement
no monetary recompense can replace.
13 - Learning RSS Feeds
Since the Catholic blog and web site that you are going to build will
be a content-rich network, then the best way to deliver this content to
your readers is through a rss feed. This page introduces you to rss
feed technology, and presents a basic guideline to create one of your
own. If you start with a Catholic blog, then you do not need to
create a rss feed anymore, as most free blog hosting accounts already
have this technology available for you (usually as an atom.xml feed).
14 - Progressing the Site
This page suggests ways on how to improve and progress your Catholic
blog and web site. The ways presented are: 1. the use of WordPress as
your home page; 2. techniques to increase visitor traffic (through social
networking sites such as delicious.com, diigo.com, bloglines.com,
facebook.com, myspace.com, twitter.com); and 3. creating an eBook to market
your site well through social networking.
15 - Testimonial
The journey that I went through as a web site administrator,
is a journey connected with my vocation as a Catholic. This
page shares the story of that journey - a journey that was encouraged
very much by the teachings of the late John Paul II on the Church and
Internet. May you learn the same wisdom I learned in undergoing
this journey for the love of God and the Church, and your family
and friends.
