Other Tech Section Materials

• Website -- Church website development, administration,
• Content -- Easily add free content from the conference website to your church or group website.  All church websites may link to any conference website content in whatever way you determine is best for your project, unless otherwise specified on a particular page.  This includes all documents and photos, databases, links, etc.  Here are some suggestions:
  • Search Engine -- Our search engine robot maintains an index of all the Memphis Conference churches (if we have your correct url :)  as well as the conference server in one integrated search.  Simply click here, then copy & paste the code into any web page.
  • Reporter Auto-Update --  Link directly to the update page at http://www.memphis-umc.org/reporter/update.htm to display without the conference frameset, or to the index page at http://www.memphis-umc.org/reporter to display within our frames.  Either updates automatically when content changes, usually weekly.
  • Discussion Forums -- Link to the Forums Index without our frames at http://www.memphis-umc.org/Forums/update.htm or with our frames at http://www.memphis-umc.org/Forums or directly to a specific forum, make your own menu, or request a forum be added.  Send a note to WebServant@Memphis-UMC.org to obtain code for what you want to do.
  • Chat Room - Set up a free, password protected chat room for your group to meet online.
  • Banner Exchange -- Add your banner, and/or add code to your page as a way of promoting your site.
  • Anything else -- In most cases you can simply right click on a link and copy the shortcut, or open it in a new window and copy the address to paste into your own web page.  Feel free to send a note to WebServant@Memphis-UMC.org to obtain code for what you want to do.
