Display
These pages are written to W3C standards and should be valid and usable in all browsers. Content is marked up in XHTML and styled with CSS. Pages are then validated with the W3C HTML Validator and W3C CSS Validator.
Generation
Our site is mostly generated through WordPress, an open source blogging platform extended to suit our purposes.
In a previous revision, content was managed as a set of XML documents and converted to XHTML using an XSLT stylesheet. We moved to an automated system to allow for greater flexibility in our editorial processes.
Many thanks to the creators of the following plugins who have released their work for the world to use:
- WP-iPodCatter and WP-iCal by Garrick Van Buren
- Bread Crumb Trail Generator by Stephen Ingram
- Get Custom Field Values by Scott Reilly
Sermons
Our sermons are placed online through the use of a number of open source tools. More information coming.
Browsers
While this site will display in any browser, it will look best in browsers that support standards well. These include Mozilla derivatives (including the latest versions of Netscape), the latest version of Opera, and the latest version of Internet Explorer. Earlier versions of these browsers are somewhat less capable of handling standards but should look acceptable. Very old versions of any of the above are generally lost causes, implementing old standards poorly and new ones not at all; you should upgrade if you can.
Design
This site was designed, technically and graphically, by voccs design. Maintenance is capably handled under the direction of the web ministry.
