SUNDAY SERVICES
Sunday Service Time:
Enter the time of your Sunday Service. The form is not picky about the manner in which you enter the time but you should indicate am or pm. If you fail to indicate am or pm, it will be assumed that you mean am and will be grouped as such for the purposes of placing it in the correct order, but the finally display will appear EXACTLY as you enter it, so anyone who visits your site may not know which you mean.
Sunday Bible Class Time:
Enter the time of your Sunday Bible Class. The form is not picky about the manner in which you enter the time but you should indicate am or pm. If you fail to indicate am or pm, it will be assumed that you mean am and will be grouped as such for the purposes of placing it in the correct order, but the finally display will appear EXACTLY as you enter it, so anyone who visits your site may not know which you mean.
Sunday School Time:
Enter the time of your Sunday School Class. The form is not picky about the manner in which you enter the time but you should indicate am or pm. If you fail to indicate am or pm, it will be assumed that you mean am and will be grouped as such for the purposes of placing it in the correct order, but the finally display will appear EXACTLY as you enter it, so anyone who visits your site may not know which you mean.
Here you are also provided the Option of choosing “Same time as Bible Class”. When this option is chosen, no individual entry for Sunday School will be displayed instead the Bible Class entry will be replaced with “Bible Class and Sunday School” on your website. If you want a separate entry for Sunday School, you must choose “Custom” and fill out the box, if you only fill out the box it will not be displayed.
WEEKLY SERVICES
This form is meant for displaying information that is at least fairly consistent from week to week. It is not meant to be used as a church calendar showing events that are taking place only on a particular week.
It can however be used fairly easily to display events that are of a seasonal nature. Enter the event and when you no longer wish it to be displayed change it to zero.
Finally the display order is provided so that it does not matter where on the list you enter the event, thus if you want to add an event but you wish it to be displayed between the 2nd and 3rd event, instead of erasing all the events and moving them down one to make room for the new event, simply add the new event to the end and makes its display order equal to 2.5, assuming that events 2 and 3 are labeled display order 2 and 3 respectively.
Extra Number of Weekly Events:
By default you are giving the ability to enter up to four events, if you wish to have more just type in the number of extra slots you wish to have and update the options.
eg. if you want 6 slots type 2 into this box and hit the update options button that appears beneath the Contact Information Section.
Display Order:
Enter where you would like this event displayed in relation to the other events. Any number can be used including decimals. Set to “0” if and only if you do not want the event dispaled, change later when you wish it to be displayed again.
It should be noted that NOTHING else effects the display order other than this number. In other words if you put the same number for two events I cannot guarantee which will be displayed first.
Day:
Choose which day the event takes place.
Events taking place on the same day will be grouped together under the appropriate day header assuming that their display order is consecutive, ie no other event on a different day comes between them. They will be listed on that day in in the order that you indicate.
Time:
Type in the time of the event, remember to indicate am or pm for the sake of your visitors.
The time on your website will be displayed EXACTLY as it appears here.
Event;
Type in the name of your Event as you wish it to appear on the website.
CONTACT INFORMATION
This form is meant for displaying basic contact information. All information will be displayed on the site exactly as it appears here. You do not need to fill in “country” if you don’t care to.
Email address – The email address will appear on the site as a mailto: link. If you are afraid of listing you email address because of the possibility of spiders and bots finding it and sending you a bunch of junk mail, please use the CryptX plugin. CryptX does a superb job of hiding all email address listed on a site from spiders and bots.
CONTACT BANNER AND CHURCH LOGO
The church banner and church logo options allow you to upload and change the banner and or logo that appear on your website, provided your theme supports this option. If you theme does not support this option contact your webmaster. If you aren’t sure, why not give it a try and find out.
Simply browse your computer for whichever image you may wish to use and then hit the Upload and save button.
IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU HIT THE UPLOAD AND SAVE BUTTON IT DOES NOT SAVE THE DATA YOU MAY HAVE ENTERED IN THE REST OF THE FORM BUT IT DOES REFRESH THE PAGE. THEREFORE YOU SOHULD HIT THE UPDATE OPTIONS BUTTON FIRST TO SAVE ANY DATA YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY ENTERED. ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THAT IT IS SAFE TO UPLOAD A PICTURE.
The following types of images are accepted: jpeg, gif, and png. Bitmap pictures ie bmp, are NOT excepted. Please make sure that any picture you choose to upload is of an appropriate size, there is no reason why the picture should be over 1mb and probably should be MUCH smaller. If you don’t know how to reduce your pictures file size ask someone.
