The Catholic Blog Community

Your Catholic Blog Community developers are working overtime to develop and test the next generation of this Catholic Social Network.  We are working on finding efficient ways to connect the blogs together, beyond internal links you provide yourself (don't stop linking to each other, by the way), increase speed, and add new profile features to allow you to share more of your winning personality with your Catholic neighbors online.  

We're also scouring the internet to find new columnists for CatholicDestination.com.  Catholic writers who are interested in writing for a Catholic website should email the site admins at community@catholicdestination.com and provide a writing sample, as well as a brief biographical profile.  Interviews will begin shortly afterward, with the top candidates receiving premium promotion as columnists, including promotion of any products (books, CDs, etc.) the writer may have.

CatholicDestination.com is growing by leaps and bounds.  Your participation as Catholic bloggers is aiding in that growth.  Thank you for inviting  your friends to join us.  Our dream of connecting Catholics is coming true.  We would like to see the dream continue to expand, so please continue to invite others to join us in the world's only totally free Catholic social network.  Visit each other's blogs, comment, share ideas and pray for one another.  As always, if you need assistance, just ask the KOCM (kingofcatholicmedia@catholicdestination.com), our resident blog super.  He'll get you the help you need quickly.

Happy blogging, everyone!

All you faithful Catholic bloggers need to drop by the King of Catholic Media to sign up for his free search engine optimization course.  He's going to take the time to walk you through all you need to know to get your Catholic blog recognized by the major search engines and how to get your blog "out there" so more people can connect with you.

New features have been added to the community blogs.  To name a few:

- a better text editor (this you have to turn on yourself, so ask me how)

- a front page login (look to your right)

- more themes to choose from

- more plugins to jazz up your Catholic blog (jazz hands!)

- a new blogroll page (under construction) with screenshots and descriptions for each blog in the community.

That last one (the blogroll page) was the King of Catholic Media's idea (as all good ideas are, I'm sure he would say).  Before I do any more editing though, I'm giving you the chance to tell me how you would like me to describe your blog.  Please send community@catholicdestination.com an email, describing in 2-4 sentences what your blog is all about.  If your blog doesn't mention your "real name" i'm going to use your username.  If you want more information up there, or want to suggest a change, you gotta email me.  I am no longer psychic.

By the way, King, you do have some good ideas.  

Hey, don't forget to invite your family and friends to create their own free Catholic blog.  I would love to see us have 100 active bloggers this summer.   

Andy @ Musings of a Catholic Convert has alerted me to GREAT news from fellow blogger, Shayne.  We have a brand spankin’ new Catholic to welcome home here.  Drop by Shayne's blog and welcome our brother home to the Catholic Church.
