how things have changed… or tw'anged

// April 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blogging, Social Network, Twitter

I wrote this post last August before Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry brought Twitter to the forefront of British social media… (yes by then I’d be tweeting for quite some time!)…  just thought a few of you may appreciate it’s thoughts now more so than back then! Be nice to hear what you think too!

Check it out: Surely I have better things to do than blog!

time for a fresh new look

// March 28th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Blogging

I’ve finally done one of those jobs I’ve been planning to do for ages… and that is update my blog and give it a complete makeover so I hope you like the look.

(I’m particularly liking the new Wordpress upgrade that has made the whole back office running of a blog seem so much nicer and cleaner… but most of you will just be thinking “what a geek” right now!)

The last few weeks have seen some massive changes in our lives, not least being the move into the Leeds Megacentre which has been incredible. Such a huge enthusiasm and excitement buzzing around the place as people begin to get used to their new Sunday morning home.

But eventually there comes a time when just having something is not really the end result and 4 weeks-in it’s time for us to take stock and begin to engage in what this is really all about… reaching the lost in our world.

So I feel now’s the time for a new look… and a new outlook as we begin to pursue the incredible purposes of God in Leeds.

how holy is your church logo?

// October 23rd, 2008 // 5 Comments » // Blogging, General

This September was a momentous month for Graphic Design at Hope City Church as we actually launched a new logo that everyone – including Pastor Dave – really liked! Which is why when I read this post on “How to create the holiest logo possible”, I fell off my chair and laughed a lot with the worried thought that I may end up in hospital AGAIN!

So how holy is your church logo?

And has anyone worked out what the random circles are behind the wording on our new logo… in case you were still wondering – it’s not a crown of thorns – it’s actually 3 overlapping coffee cup stains! Three stains in one!!!

Enjoy the post!

davegilpin.com is online

After too much time spent in CSS and on Photoshop the brand new davegilpin.com is now ONLINE!

There are a whole host of articles that we’ve carried forward from the old S4 Leadership days – but Dave has some awesome new stuff to release including the full online E-book ‘Manboobs’. ‘What is that’ I hear you cry – well you’ll just have to go look!

I’m certainly looking forward to more of Dave’s little video blogs – I just hope he doesn’t put us serious blog readers down everytime he records one… (Dave’s problem is that he is a Nerd in Denial!! lol)

Anyhow – seriously good stuff on there so make sure you check it out and Subscribe to the RSS feed! The Podcasts should also be on iTunes soon as soon as I can work out why iTunes won’t read the feed! In the meantime you can get them on the site itself!

business as usual

Thankfully to the combined efforts of myself and my good IT-nerd-friend Dave we’re back in business… so after I get some work done I’ll post something interesting to say…!

Phew!

blog problems

// August 14th, 2008 // No Comments » // Blogging

Apoogises to anyone passing my blog lately as its seems to have been deluged with problems since I updated to the latest Wordpress 2.6 install….

For a start it shouldn’t look like this…. all thanks to Permalinks issues on Windows Servers so if you have any bright ideas then do email me…

I hope to have it fixed asap!

(argh!)
