- Note: The views expressed on these blogs reflect the bloggers' views only, not that of the Diocese.
Judi Gregory in Sudan: The business manager for the Diocese of Delaware, and

- PhotoPrayer by Danny Schweers: Danny is Website Editor for the Diocese and an accomplished photographer. A new photo and prayer is added each week to his blog.
How, Why to set up a Blog
A weblog, or blog, is usually an on-line diary on the Internet. For example, when Judi Gregory decided to take a sabbatical to Sudan, she created a blog on Blogger.com chronicling her experience. See:
http://www.judithgregory.blogspot.com/
The advantage to using Blogger or WordPress or other blog service is that each entry is automatically indexed. On Judi's blog, the index is under her photo. That is, each entry is listed as a link so visitors can easily move from entry to entry.
If indexing isn't important to you, then you can simply add a new page to the your existing website and simply add entries as you please; that is, a headline followed by a paragraph or two with perhaps some photos.
Whichever way you go, begin by thinking out what you want to put in your blog. If the content can be easily described, people will know why to visit your blog. Whichever way you go, your website, and this one, can link to your blog.
