Website Renovation

Ok folks, take a moment and pop over to my newly refurbished website. It's got:

  • Snazzy new header more appropriate for a priest
  • lots more of my articles archived in new categories and pages
  • updated books page with get this!! reduced prices on all my books
  • PayPal facility to buy my books online
  • bookings page to get me to your parish to do a seminar or lead a retreat
  • contact page to get in touch
  • updated biography

Phase Two (which we are working on now) will have:

  • opportunity to buy my talks on CD
  • opportunity to subscribe to my weeklyi homilies from St Mary's as podcasts
Click over there and then tell me what you think here in the combox. Any suggestions and ideas are welcome. Any donations to the cost of maintaining the website and blog are even more welcome. Just hit the donation button on this blog if you want to pitch in.

    Very schnazzy. I hope you won't become insufferable. I'll have to trust Ali to keep that from happening.

    Very impressive! You do have a misspelled word on your Bio page:
    "First Thigns" should, of course, be "First Things".
    Blessings on all you do, Father!

    Hope you're not getting rid of the "we preach Christ, and Him crucified" in the sidebar on the "old" blog. It helps me when I send the link to non-Catholic friends. Otherwise, I really love the new blog, Father. --- Rosemary

    Sorry! Chalk my previous comment up to sleep deprivation. It's not a Blog -- it's your WEBSITE. Duh! It's been a rough week at work. :)

    It looks very nice. Character roles page: You have "sceptic"; the accepted US spelling is "skeptic". An American is going to read that as "septic"

    No suggestions here. It is very thorough and easy to navigate. And it looks superb.

    Now I have the fun of rummaging through and reading your articles.

    I've linked the site on my blog too.

    Yes, more insufferable, of course. I'm cracking up at your avatar photo. It looks like Jim Craft. Who is it?

    The avatar is none other than famous British film star and Catholic convert, Alec (ObiWan) Guiness.

    This is a still from the film where he played Chesterton's Father Brown

    Well, he looks like Jim Craft on a bad day. I'd never have guessed Alec Guinness. Why, on your website, does it title it "Author and Broadcaster"? Are you starring in a show I don't know about? Or is blogging considered broadcasting? :-)

    the 'author and broadcaster' is a leftover from the first version of the website which was done before I was ordained and still lived in England, and the site was meant to showcase my writing, speaking and broadcasting work. I missed that detail in the update.
