Creating a Church Web Site Tutorial
Chapter 11: Linking Up
Once you have your site
up and running, you want people to be able to find it. You
can help them in a number of ways:
- Submit your Web address to the Massachusetts Conference
and national United Church of Christ, so they can add links
to
your church on their Web sites. Email the Web address,
along with your church's full name and address (there are
many First
Churches!) to Registrar Jane Clarke at clarkej@macucc.org
for the Massachusetts Conference site and
to yearbook@ucc.org
for
the national
UCC site.
- Submit your Web address to search engines, such
as Yahoo, Google, MSN and Excite. You can register your
Web site with
these search engines by visiting them and clicking the "Submit
a Site" or "Suggest a Site" link and following
the instructions. You can also use a service such as addme.com to
get your site listed with search engines.
- Submit your Web
address to your city or town Web site. Most of these sites
list local houses of worship. To find your town's
site, try using this format - www.bolton.ma.us - substituting
your town's name for Bolton.
Please also include links on your site to the United Church
of Christ (www.ucc.org) and the Massachusetts Conference
(www.macucc.org) Web sites. This will enable people to understand
that your
congregation is part of a larger church community.
