Just as I finished up putting together a new design for my personal website, I find this mess of awesome free responsive HTML5 CSS3 templates!
Take a look at these:
Mmmm. Another Bootstrap resource for your coding and designing pleasure.
Bootsnipp, as it’s called, is full of design elements and code snippets specially made for the Bootstrap HTML/CSS/JS framework. There are currently almost 70 up for grabs.
Here’s a closer look:
Having recently relaunched a podcast on a project I am working on, the idea of adding deep links is something I hadn’t thought much about–until now.
Web development is funny like that. Sometimes you find a tool like this and then you get the idea, oppose to having an idea and needing to find the tool.
I have not tried to use it, yet, but I’m really thinking about it. This could be really interesting to use for sermon audio, too. Check it out:
The ideas behind the Open Source Software (OSS), and more recently Free License Open Source Software (FLOSS) movements has always been about providing great tools at little to no cost.

I’m not advocating that the pastor get arms and elbows into the code of the church website. I just know that sometimes churches hire a designer to create the site and then need to change something minor after the designer has been paid and moved onto a new job. At this point, someone local is usually tasked with keeping the website up-to-date. Let’s say that’s you.
