Sitting at Java Junction - Subscriber's Post
Hey there subscribers,
I'm thinking of changing that name. Maybe to Friends of rlp. I don't know.
This is an experiment. I'm posting something for you and allowing it to be promoted to the front page. That means that only people logged in as subscribers will see it.
But then, what if you aren't logged in? Should I have some kind of notification for you on the menu? New Friends of rlp content up. Log in?
Okay, I just put a little notification below the header.
Here I am right now, 11 am CST, sitting at Java Junction working on my sermon. I do a lot of sermon work here because of the free internet. I need internet because I love http://textweek.com. Good resources for the study I do before I figure out how the sermon is going to come together.
So, should I post subscriber things (er, friends of rlp) in this way? Need a notifier so you know to log in?

All of my books are for sale though me. I've not had the energy or inclination to send them to Amazon or any other place.

Yes, I think you should make it a little more obvious that there is a benefit to subscribing.

I agree with the comment
Submitted by townsbelow (not verified) on Thu, 05/29/2008 - 19:55.I agree with the comment above. I think it would help promote your site if people knew other things were being posted that they could see if they were subscribers.
I know. I've resisted that
Submitted by rlp on Fri, 05/30/2008 - 14:31.I know. I've resisted that to avoid looking or perhaps becoming too commercial. Still considering things...

That's a good point. One of the reasons I love your site is that it's not commercial. I think it's a tough balancing act.
notifiers are good. Thank

Notifiers - yes

How about cookies that last for a few weeks so that your site remembers me from day to day so that I see the new subscriber only posts without additional log in steps?
Your browser will do that.

I like the notice
Submitted by Hook on Sat, 05/31/2008 - 19:07.I like the notice in the header. I am usually signed in, but my security software eliminates persistent cookies from time to time and I wasn't this time because of that. I could have missed this post for days.
I'm certain I look like that when I do a message too. Fortunately, I only have to do one every quarter or so.
Peace
Hook
