It's Up!

In case you didn't know, my friends Steve, Carlos and I had been working on building a new website for our church. The one we had was a bit outdated, and we were paying someone who lived down in Florida to keep the information current. We brought our proposal to build a new website to the elders of the church, and it was approved with little to no questions asked!
Having a new website would allow us to build a fresher, more modern site and would enable those with the password to update content almost immediately. For example, if our pastor wanted to load his sermon from Sunday morning, by the old process he would have to convert it to MP3 format, and send it via e-mail to Florida and then it would be posted on the web within a day or two. With the new website, he can upload it himself right after church if he wanted to. And what's cool, is that the website editor is really easy to use and changes can be made effective immediately, or saved for later.
Steve, Evan, Carlos and I worked really late last Sunday trying to enter as much content as we could and finding pictures to put up on each page. We were planning to launch the new page on April 1st because we were sending out invitations to our Easter service, and the invitations have the website URL on them. So, by keeping up through e-mails and phone calls, we somehow managed to finish up the website.
The coolest part was this: the web server that we were using gave us a temporary URL to work with while we were editing the site. When we were all finished, all we had to do was call them and let them know and they would switch us over to our current URL. It was just that easy! Within one hour, the new page was up and running under our current URL.
We did it! The new website that we built is fully functional. We are breathing a sigh of relief, however, now we have to figure out who is going to keep it updated!
