I pretty much with everyone as well.

Sunday Setlist is a must!
Podcasts would be awesome. Like Russ said maybe doing one every other week that would be great.
I also like what Mike said. You should feature other blogs so that we can all continue to connect. If you need any help you can count me in.

Sunday Set-lists has to stay for Sure!! Its a definite must keep! Freeplay is always enjoyed! Tech Tuesday is an awesome idea!! Podcasts would be a wonderful addition! Also I really like the idea Russ gave on blocking an hour each morning for blog networking! Thanks so much Fred! Steffanie Oltmanss last blog post..Sunday Set-list ~ December 28, 2008

I'm with Russ. I like Freeplay Friday. Gives us a chance to "get our Fred on." Tech Tuesday is a great idea. Maybe - since you are big into community - feature another blogger from time to time. We can only grow stronger if we grow together. You've got a tremendous resource in your reader-base. I think there is a lot that a church like SSCC can impart to smaller churches coming out of your experiences. Mikes last blog post..Some Christmas Pride

1) Podcasts. Yes. Yes. Yes. In fact, I’d be more than willing to team up with you and produce a TWC podcast. I’ve been thinking about it for about 6 months now and haven’t really jumped on it. But it would be nice maybe to do a podcast every other week with interviews, song spotlights, special guests, etc. Whaddya think?

2) Sunday Setlists. A keeper for sure.

3) Freeplay Fridays. I always enjoy reading them. Keep em coming.

4) New ideas? I like the idea of a tech tuesday. I really enjoy your leadership posts so keep those coming.

5) Networking/reading other blogs. I’ve found it helpful to schedule a block of time each day to “network” — my boss knows I do this and actually encourages it. For me, it’s an hour in the morning, I read forums, blogs, news, etc. as well as post on forums, blogs, etc. It’s been beneficial for me and because it’s blocked into my work day I’m able to be efficient with my time and keep up with the blogs I follow.

Another idea is to always be “pruning” your blog reader. I know we all want to subscribe to as many helpful and informative blogs as we can…but in the end if unread posts are just piling up then it’s not beneficial for anybody. Pick a magic number and go through your reader once a month (at the beginning or end) and prune your blogs. Of course that’s tough because we don’t want to just “throw away” blogs…but I’ve found it’s a must. If I can’t go through my blog reader each day in about 10 minutes, then personally, I feel like I have too many subscriptions.

Happy New Year!!
