Angela and Joshua (myself) have joined up to bring you a new micro-blog on Twitter called HolyRoadies.

Angela brings a healthy dose of Christian Rock tweets and I pretty much post stuff about Catholic/Christian Hip-Hop.

If I were asked, “Have you any Twitter tips for the Christian music community,” I’d probably answer this one of two ways:

• For the fan of Christian music, searching for #catholichiphop, #christianhiphop , #christianrock or #christianmusic on Twitter is a good way to read about the latest in the Christian music scene.
• Because we follow so many Christian artists, our Twitter stream is very wide and flows very rapidly—the chances of us seeing a general tweet from an individual band is slim-to-none.  So, for the Christian band or musician who has some news that they would like for us to share with our readers, they can either “@” HolyRoadies or direct message us by putting “d HolyRoadies” in front of their tweet (we must be following you to receive a direct message).

Follow HolyRoadies and pray for Righeous B!

I would be interested to see the stats of the number of people who regularly logon to MyChurch.org now, compared to how many used to regularly logon before all these changes.  I would susspect that ther are less now than there used to be.

MyChurch is becoming very unflattering : (

If you've been using MyChurch.org for an extensive amount of time, as I have, then you've probably seen the site go through many changes.  I really miss some of the old features!  One of the features that I really miss is the capability to search blogs.

I contacted the admins and they said that, though you won't be able to access the feature directly from the site, you can still search blogs by Clicking Here.

God Bless,

Joshua

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a MyChurch.org tip.  Well, they have been doing some tinkering around and one the new features that I am pretty excited about is the ability to sinc your Twitter account to your MyChurch.org update status.  It is pretty easy to setup, but just in case you need a little guidance, I am posting this little how-to.

What will this do? When you post a tweet to Twitter, it will automatically update your MyChurch.org status as well.

Step 1: Log into MyChurch.org and sinc your Twitter by clicking the icon shown below from the status update page.  Then click the “Integrate Your Twitter Account” link and allow Twitter to share information with MyChurch.org.

Step 2: Post to Twitter.

Step 3: The tweet is then automatically posted to your MyChurch.org update status.

Simple as that!

Over a year ago, I suggested they figure out a way to integrate Ping.fm with MyChurch.org and they were going to look into it.  I think with this new sinc feature, there really is no need to integrate Ping.fm, unless of course the user only wanted certain key updates to their status (rather than posting all tweets to their status update).

Hope this tutorial has been beneficial to some of you.  God Bless.
