Just saw some articles about how mobile and Apple's new Siri technology is or will affect localization and SEO. One of the practices recommended for web admins is the use of micro data - see http://schema.org and http://dev.w3.org/html5/md-LC/

Have any of you applied micro data to your content - or parts of it? What has your experience been?

Easy is not Simple, nor is Simple Easy.

The web is full of new and easy to use publishing options, many of them free or almost free. As more churches and ministries succumb to the realization they need an online presence, what resources are they aware of (not just available to them, but are known to them) to help them make good choices? What are we doing to make those resources known? Why are there so many bad websites if it's so easy?

From time to time, I like to look around and see what platforms are available and which ones are being adopted by churches and ministries. Knowing G&G is Drupal-centric, it still has a few folks from the old CWM forums that build their own sites, or use other platforms.

Hey, guys and gals, I don't always get to stop by and check out what's new, but I would like to get some sort of feed for new posts and comments. The only feed I can find is the podcast feed - how about feeds for the forums? Or, hook up Twitter and push new updates via @geeksandgod. I'd certainly appreciate it and maybe a few others would too. Might even boost activity if the social graph picks it up.
