We Blog Better began as a personal blogging project – a place for me to blog about social media. The site’s design was featured in numerous galleries and showcases. It’s traffic grew rapidly and because of some other commitments, I transferred ownership to a very talented blogger. It was designed with an intentional “blog” look.

Danny Kirk is a Pastor in St. Louis and also serves as a Missions Director for the BMA of Missouri and the Meramec Association. He spends much of his time mentoring church planters and young Pastors, so a blog is an ideal way for him to share his life and advice with leaders at large. We created a simple logo for his site and modified the Ministry Free WordPress theme to launch DannyRKirk.com.
I monitor traffic on a couple of sites I run using Mint, which tells me in real time how many people are finding my site, and how they are getting there – source, keywords, etc. It’s quite addictive and I have to watch it – only check it a few dozen times per hour.

I’ve completed work on a custom WordPress theme I’m calling Balance of Blue. I designed it with business applications in mind. I’m an advocate for using WordPress as an entire site solution and content management system, so this theme was created to highlight the potential for that kind of usage.
Please note: I’ve updated this theme and have based it on better code, so it now supports gravatars, tags, and other important features.
If you’d like customizations made, a logo designed, or if you download this and use it, feel free to contact me.
I was listening recently to a well-known Baptist Pastor who asserted that “these bloggers” were overly critical of his ministry. Blogging Pastors have been blamed for a lot of stuff they really haven’t been responsible for. Important issues do have to be raised, however, when handling the responsibility of blogging.
