Building a Catholic Articles Web Site

In simplified and updated form

Our web site can help you join in the support
of the Catholic mission for the proclamation
of the gospel online and for the propagation
of the Catholic faith. Our free Catholic eBook
has all the details of our way of proceeding
in building, and contains the comprehensive
information that helped us obtain a mainstream
presence on the Net.  You may download this
free Catholic eBook at our partner web site
at Gospel and Culture.

After reading the eBook, there is a simplified
and more updated form for embarking on this
mission.  Below are the simplified steps that
you can take and with updated information so
that you can join in the support of the Catholic
mission on the Net.  We however suggest that
you also download the comprehensive information
in the eBook so that you will know the context
for using this simplified and updated form.

• Get a Yahoo! Web Hosting service package
• Make your homepage a WordPress blog that
  functions as the central content delivery system
  of the web site.  The WordPress blog can easily
  be uploaded through a Yahoo! Web Hosting service
  package
• A WordPress blog design is designed so that
  it will comply with the standards required by
  the Web (templates are available so that you
  need not make a design yourself)
• You have the option to engage in publishing
  ads or enter into affiliate programs if you
  wish or not. Revenue from such activities can
  however help offset the operating costs of the
  web site.
• Learn how to use ethical search engine
  optimization so that your web pages can be
  highly ranked in the index of the search engines.
• Borrow books from libraries or purchase
  your own personal copies so that you can find
  ideas in writing content for your web site.
• If you wish to learn short cuts in building
  your web site, you can always search through
  our Site Search page to find information that
  you need in building a Catholic web site from
  a lay Catholic family initiative. Be prudent
  though in applying short cuts.
• If you have other questions or would like
  to clarify certain points that you wish to
  understand more, don’t hesitate to write us
  and we will gladly give you as much information
  as you need to know to help you make a wise
  and prudent decision.

An opportune moment to begin this mission

It would be an opportune idea to begin this
mission at this point of time since the Holy
Father Pope Benedict XVI is visiting the U.S.A.
this coming month of April.  He will be the
second Roman Pontiff to visit the United States
- second after John Paul II.  With the visit of
the Holy Father, Catholic fervor would surely
result in an upsurge - and this could also be
part of the fervor of those who use the Internet
for searching information related to the Catholic
faith.  If you had an idea before of building a
Catholic blog or web site, now would be a truly
opportune time. 

Some background information on our web site

This web site is an offshoot of a Yahoo! list
and began its online activities in the year 2002.
It obtained its own domain in 2004 and is now
continually building on content and information
to help Catholics and nonCatholics with knowledge
that they wish to learn more about the Catholic
faith.  It is still a young web site but we hope
to be a support of service to the Church and to
the people who use the Net as long as there are
those who wish to learn more from Catholicism
from our site.
