The website works fine. The problem I have is that today, I went to update our website and found that I could not. It is very important to keep our schedule updated, since my husband is an evangelist and gospel singer. Would be nice if an email was sent noting the update and when that was going to take place. Poor communication on your part. When will the website be back up?

Hi Roger, I hope you saw yesterday's blog post that explains how we're doing everything possible to make our next web builder easy to use by eliminating the need for you to find, install and manage plugins – https://blog.ourchurch.com/2016/02/17/what-could-b…

When you say "download my audio sermons" do you mean publish them on our website?

In reply to John Lautner. Thanks John. That's what we were thinking too.

In reply to PaulSteinbrueck. At that point, I would say it would be acceptable to click and expand that day (maybe in a pop up window) and display the entire days events. The displayed calendar would be kind of like a teaser. When clicked, maybe much more info could be provided about that days events.

In reply to John Lautner. John, thanks for the suggestions. The biggest challenge with the month view of a calendar is what to do when there are more items in a day than can be displayed. Any suggestions?

I would like be able to schedule web pages "off" and "on" to our churches web site, that way, when I update a page, then schedule it to appear and remove the outdated page so the site stay current. That way I do not have to trust my memory to keep our site current.
I would be nice to see the entire monthly calendar contents instead of having to click on each individual date to see what event is post for that day. The would give visitor to our site a complete monthly picture of available events. at a glance.

In reply to George Allen. George, thanks for the suggestions. We will give them serious consideration. One of the challenges we (and all developers) face is the more features and options that are added, the more complicated it makes the tool. We are always striving to find the right balance between options and simplicity.

In reply to Ray Beck. Hi Ray, good question. We are working to make it as smooth as possible. We are creating a "migration tool" which will copy all of the pages from NE1 to the new web builder and much of the other media and information. After you use the migration tool to copy your current site into the new web builder, you will be able to preview and tweak the new version of your website before you make it live.

In reply to George Allen. George and Dennis, I think I know what you're referring to. These are called "navigation clues." They are helpful when using sub-menus. For example, if you had an "About" main menu item and then an "Our History" page in that sub menu, the navigation clues would be "About >> Our History" enabling a visitor to tell what sub-menu they are in. However, when sub-menus are not being used, they aren't of much value. Navigation clues can be turned off in the NE1 Admin. Click the "Config" tab at the top.
