After I did a seminar at a church communicators conference recently, we commissioned Kevin Hendricks to put together a resource guide for print designers wanting to transition to do web design.

Here’s a quote from the guide:

Transitioning from print to web isn’t easy. But it can be fun. It opens the door to a whole new world. You’ll leave behind pagination for navigation, readability for compatibility. The web has limitations just like print, but it also opens new possibilities.

The guide is designed to be a starting point to help graphic designers get started in web design.

One of my friends Anne Jackson has a new book coming out called Mad Church Disease: Overcoming the Burnout Epidemic in February and she’s offering a free chapter for download here.

Hey all, I, Cory, am at Catalyst Conference in Atlanta this week … if you’re here, let me know!

I’ve been blogging with WordPress for over two years now and creating website and blog designs for WP for almost as long. So over at iThemes, we’ve released a tutorial website for how to use WordPress as a content management system.

The resource site is filled with links, video tutorials and more …

You can read the whole backstory to iThemes … how I built our church’s website in WordPress, and of course, you might be familiar with the series I did here on how to use WP specifically for churches.
