21 Leads to Better Catholic Web Content Development
Introduction
In the super-fresh Web,
what matters most is very up-to-date news and information. The main objective however, of this site's
basic and small Catholic web site development tutorials, is to proclaim the gospel and the traditions
of the Catholic faith, in a manner that also cultivates wisdom, insight and reflection (refer to
36th World Communications Day Message). Given the present trend of real-time searches and publishing
through such sites as Twitter, it is possible also to integrate this contemporary trend with content
from the gospel and classic Catholic literary sources. A specific example is the recent address of
Benedict XVI on Peter the Venerable of Cluny. This real-time information can be made as the springboard to
develop content that integrates up-to-date news with the spirituality and message of 10th-12th
century Cluny - thus linking readers to obtain wisdom and insight which monasticism can bring
to our time.
Keeping web development up-to-date
As mentioned in the introduction to this article, it is possible to integrate real-time news
with classic Catholic literary sources. The real-time content we include in our web content
development and blogging will make our basic and small Catholic web site development relevant.
At the same time, by linking these super-fresh news and information to the Catholic traditions
from which they are rooted or have sprung from can give that ample space needed for reflection
and deeper thought. What is important in this type of content development is good timing,
adequate literary resources, and a system of publishing so that the content may be indexed
in real-time.
Some mechanics needed
It is important to learn of new publishing systems that can make our web content and blog
posts available to the super-fresh Web. Three articles published in this site can help
you with a real-time publishing system:
Adding FriendFeed to Your Facebook Profile,
Sharing
Content and Links through 3 Popular Social Networks, and
Third-Party Apps
to Parse .xml Files
in Multimedia Formats. These three publishing systems are good but can soon become outdated
as the Web is in the direction of rapid development. Therefore, to keep ourselves updated
of better real-time publishing applications for our web content, we can refer to the following
technology sites:
- WebProNews.com (www.webpronews.com)
- Techmeme.com (www.techmeme.com)
- SiteProNews.com (www.sitepronews.com)
Writing on Catholicism in real-time
Although we can get informal updates about the Catholic Church in Twitter, it is best to
keep to the more formal news sites such as EWTN, Zenit News, and the Vatican's channel at
YouTube.com. These sites can help us obtain the most recent news items on the Church -
both at the universal and local levels. It is up to us how we are to sift through all
the current news items and select those which can be developed as content which links
the real-time event with the Church's history, spirituality, and traditions. As in all
web content development, it is good to strike a balance so that the content is both
relevant and at the same time allows some space for deeper thought and the search for
insight. Thus, to be at our best in this web content development, you can bookmark
the following three Catholic news sites mentioned above:
- EWTN (www.ewtn.com/vnews/headlines.asp)
- Zenit (www.zenit.org/index.php?l=english)
- Vatican (www.youtube.com/vatican)
