The blogging ministry
While many would have heard of the worship ministry, the children ministry, but is there such a thing as a ’blogging ministry’? Well, this is a term that is relatively new on Web 2.0, but I believe that this ministry will grow. The blogging ministry differs from the normal journals and weblogs that people use to rant about their daily life. On the other hand, the blogging ministry is intentional, and it has a specific audience. It is a deliberate attempt to share with others how a person who is following Jesus is like. It is about sharing the joy in knowing the Lord and also the struggles we face at times because of the sinful flesh our souls reside in. For some blogs, depending on the target audience, it is also about feeding Christians with the Word of God. In a world where there are millions of blogs out there, quality content is king.
This is not to say that the design of the website or blog is not important. In fact, it is, because of high visual content has the ability to attract readers. I get turned off by websites which have content that are not properly organised. I find it unappealing to visit a website that is difficult for me to read. However a website that has traffic or many people visiting it must have quality content to sustain the readership in the long run.
In this series of articles, I will be sharing on developing a quality website, attracting readers and sustaining the readership. I will be breaking down the elements that make up a good website. In short, it is about improvement. While these tips can be applied to secular blogs as well, I will be gearing the whole series of articles towards using blogs and websites as a platform to reach out. Stay tuned.
So, why do you blog?
