but who also want to join the lay Catholic mission in the Web;

networking to begin with;

method and affordable means to be part of Catholic networking in
the Web.
Step one: Catholic blogging
First, set up a blog at Blogger.com.
Blogger.com has recently added a new statistics feature for their blogging
service. You can use a free blog subdomain for starters. It is easy to begin
a Catholic blog. All you need is to think well of a good name for your
subdomain, and then register it with Blogger.com. A good subdomain will
have keywords related to the theme you want to develop in your Catholic
blog.
Step two: Catholic networking
Second, you can register for an account with
Facebook. In your account, you can
give the complete URL of the blog you started with Blogger, and register it
as your site in Facebook. Also, once in Facebook, you can search for your
old friends and classmates in the Catholic schools you attended and graduated
from. Networking with old friends can be a very rewarding experience because,
you and your friends can share information, exchange notes, and update each
other on what can help in using the internet well.
Step three: Catholic directory listing
Third, be a member of St. Blog's
Parish. This site connects Catholic bloggers from around the globe. You can
choose what specific category you want your Catholic blog to be listed in with St.
Blog's Directory. Catholic directory listings can obtain a substantial amount of
visitor traffic for your Catholic blog.
