I’m currently working on a website for a small church in Delaware using a Wordpress blog as the underlying platform.
In keeping with the MissionDisk philosophy, My goal is to build a $0 website, using all freeware, free plugins, and free services online.
Once I’m done I hope to write up an easy-to-follow guide on how to do this so others can do likewise. So many churches don’t have any kind of web presence at all. That’s a shame.
I’d appreciate any input on what I’ve got so far… http://www.calvarybaptistinclayton.org/

Hi Darrell-
I really like what you did with the church site. I’m interested in trying to do the same for our small church. I would love to get my hands on that easy-to-follow guide!
Thanks.
Writing a guide isn’t hard — but making it ‘easy to follow’ has presented more of a challenge!
It’s classified right now as a ‘work in progress.’
More to follow…
Thanks for your work on this…here’s the site I made http://fccwray.wordpress.com.
My main questions have to do with embedding things in Wordpress.com like the sermon channel and the Picasa photo albums. Would love to learn about those tricks!
I’m not sure the full extent of embedding capability on wordpress.com.
I might write a couple of articles on these questions in the short-term. I’ll post links here if I do. 
I’m guessing you used Wordpress.org and are not hosting the site on wordpress.com correct? Who do you use for hosting?
