Technology is…

Posted by Brian On January - 20 - 2010 Comments Off

…dangerous. I’ve spent much of my life living by the following assumption: “The methods may change, but the message never will.” Unfortunately, this is false. No technology is neutral. Every technology will change you, no matter what you use it to say. Too often we presume to know what a technology will do to use in the church, and too often we accept technology without proper thought. Technology can be leveraged to great heights, but never without change in our message…and never without change in us.

Help with header link…

Posted by Brian On January - 19 - 2010 6 COMMENTS

So if you’ve ever noticed on my site, when I modified the template for my uses I’m unable to click the header to load the homepage anymore. I’m really new to PHP so I can’t figure out how to get that to work.

Here’s the code I’m using in the header to display the image (and the search box):

<div class=”logohead”><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

Here’s the code for class logohead:

.logohead{

margin: 0px 0 0 0;

padding: 5px 0 0 20px;

width:978px;

height:100px;

background: url(images/logoHEADER3.png)no-repeat;

border:1px solid #fff; }

So that’s it guys. How can I take that code and make it a link to the homepage of my site?

As I look towards launching a new campus, opening a new building and starting a service on Thursday night, I’m being challenged to train new leaders. Here are the remaining principles I want them to know before we ever talk equipment or technology.

About me.

In these pages you will find the amassed wisdom of a mid-twenties tech-nerd. I’m almost as passionate about technology as I am about Jesus Christ and my family. When I’m not working as technical director of Rock Bridge Community Church I’m either hanging out with my family or sleeping. This is basically my space to word vomit and share how we do tech at Rock Bridge. Sometimes it’ll be exciting, sometimes it’ll be lame. I make no promises for consistent quality (or any quality for that matter.) Hopefully it’ll be fun and I’ll update it enough to make it worth your while. Peace out.
