The Wonder of Creation blogsite has been online now a little more than three months, and the number of page views and visitors is increasing at a better-than-average rate.   When you consider that some 50,000 blogs go online every day, it’s encouraging to have the interest that we do in WOC. 

Let me tell you about a few changes in the works:

The Main page will contain the past 5 posts instead of 10. 
Older posts will be in the Archives or Calendar.

The Masthead picture icon will change more frequently. 
Can you identify the feather that’s there now?

The Background Photos will be changing.

The Calendar now highlights the days when a blog post was published. If you click on a highlighted date, the post for that date and its title will come up.

The Meta sidebar item where you login is now near the top just below the calendar.

The Welcome tab has been eliminated since it related to our startup.

Coming around the first of February is a feature designated Wonder Workers.  This will be a sort of “hall of recognition” for Christians who are working to preserve the wonder of God’s creation (Not folks who work miracles; there is really only One of those!)

Not scheduled but in the talking stage is a feature we’re thinking about calling Wonder Stories.  These would be brief stories of experiences that our readers and others have had in the outdoors that left them with an impression of wonder at the marvels of God’s good creation—and a compulsion to share that experience with others.  Does that interest you?

 

Wanting your feedback:

We notice that the most accessed page on the site is Creation Pictures, and it gets more that twice as many clicks as anything else—and we don’t know why.  For several weeks there have been two collections available there, the wonderful photos of RBC’s Singapore photographer Alex Soh and Old Dominion University botanist Lytton Musselman’s extensive ”Bible Plants” collection.  But only a few who click on Creation Pictures actually go over to those sites.  So we’re baffled.  If you are one who clicks regularly on Creation Pictures, we’d love to have you post a comment below on what it is you are looking for when you go there.

You are also invited to comment on anything about the site—positive or negative. 

Keep in mind that when a comment is made on the site, it is not automatically published.  One of our crew reads it first and then manually approves or disapproves it.  So we will not publish any comments that you want to remain private—especially if you head your comment with the word “private.”  I wish I could just list my email address so you could send comments directly to me, but, sadly, spam hawks are hovering in cyberspace looking for email addresses to send junk mail to.

See you outdoors!
