December 2009

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

It's hard to believe we're in the last days of 2009. We know that, for some folks, it's been a tough year. And we appreciate all you do for the people in your community and around the globe who need to hear words of hope through the message of our Savior. We're proud to partner with you in your ministries and missions.

Today, more than 8,000 churches, organizations and businesses are using the E-zekiel content management platform. We continue to make improvements to our platform, to add new tools and features, and to keep looking for ways to help you build stronger online communities. If you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, please let us know.

As you celebrate the Christmas season with friends and family, please be aware that our customer service team will also be taking some time off.

We wish for you a joyous Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.

Creating Holiday Memories – Online

As you capture the images of the Christmas season in photos and video, keep the memories fresh and vibrant by using tools available to you through the Albums manager and E-zekiel.tv.

For example, display scenes from your Christmas and New Year's gatherings by uploading photos to the Albums manager. You simply create your main album page through the Albums manager. From there, you can add an unlimited number of albums. Storage space has limits, depending on your plan, but that's easy to manage by keeping a close watch on image size. While the main page houses your albums, you also can use internal site links to link a page to a specific album.

Thanks to E-zekiel.tv and the E-zekiel.com Media manager, you can also post brief video clips from events and performances. Make use of these great reminders of the spirit of Christmas to keep hearts light as the new year rolls in.
