How Often Should We Update?

As some of you may know, I serve at a local church as an in-house web developer on top of my responsibilities in music, graphic arts and the like. I started working at this church back in February 2004 and had their new website up within 4 months or so. That site lasted us all the way until the end of last year when we rolled out our latest edition [ www.PCCToday.com ].

Now, it’s just a few months into the new design and with new leadership here at the church that I serve at, there’s a good chance we may look to move forward on yet a newer design. (Don’t quote me on that…but I envision and secretly hope to look at some new ideas in the short and long-term)

My take? Hey, I love designing and exploring new ideas. Over the years, I’ve grown tougher skin and find myself much more willing to take constructive criticism these days as I strive to get better at my craft. Humility is a good thing to have otherwise creatives can sometimes implode with their own bloated notions of superiority. I like thinking that no matter what I create, I can and will create something even better next time.

The one thing the process I find myself in does do is beg the question - “How Often Should We Change A Site?” Should it be every 5 years? Every 3 years? Every year?

I love change so I may not be a good one to ask since my mind moves on to the next idea pretty quickly once one idea has been realized.

Anyone have any feedback?

New ScribeFire Update

I’ve been using the latest Firefox Beta (3.0b5) and just updated my ScribeFire plugin. I’ve tried many different methods to blog from the Flock browser to MarsEdit and just the good ol’ Wordpress admin area. I must admit though - I think ScribeFire is really doing their homework. The latest upgrade is clean, runs fast and so far is working like a charm.

If you haven’t been using the latest Firefox, give it a whirl by clicking here to download the latest beta version. If you haven’t tried ScribeFire to blog from within you browser, click here to give ScribeFire a chance.
