Below are some fast notes about the new Site, a video will be made and up in the next couple of days to explain it better.
Note: the blog is currently not integrated into the site, we are planning on doing such but ran into issues.
- If you run into any bugs or errors on the new site please submit them here http://illbehonest.com/submit-website-bugs
- Currently the blog is not integrated into the site. On the new site the blog will more so change to a blog that I (James Jennings) use to post stuff about the making of the videos, even help for others with their church and ministry sites… basically many random subjects. I feel a great need to help others who are striving to spread media through the internet. This blog will also be a place were new site features are put, information about the Grace House, and a every week a list of the newest media content on the site.
- Subscribe: Be sure to follow this rss feed – http://feeds.feedburner.com/illbehonest-global-site-updates – This feed will have EVER site update on it. Meaning every new piece of media content will be put in that rss feed. We no longer want users to have to keep coming back and forth to check for new content, but we want to rather send it to you. If you don’t know how RSS works you can go here for a tutorial on it: http://www.howstuffworks.com/rss.htmI also plan to put all of these blog posts in that RSS as well, so that there will be on RSS that you will need. There is also an RSS feed for audio only and an itunes feed.
- Mailing ListWe still have the mailing list in the top right corner and we are going to start using it and it will no longer be inactive. We are going to use MailChimp and we plan to send out a letter every week. The news letter will have the links to the new content as well as other stuff that we feel will edify saints and evangelize the lost.
- Newest Resources View the screenshot below:
This screenshot shows an area that is on the main page of the site. This area will always have the newest content. Whether it is a Gospel Tract, Video, Audio File etc… the Gospel Tracts, Books and other material that is not video will not show up in the main video timeline, so this will allow users to scroll down and find the newest resources right below to see if there is anything they have missed or is new that is up. You are able to click listen or view as you please.
- I’ll Be Honest En EspanolWe now have a full version of the site in Spanish http://illbehonest.com/espanol/ the plan is to put up a Romanian, Korean, Russian, and Portuguese version in the future.
- Translators If you have a burden to help translate videos, soon we will have a big window open to allow people to pour themselves out in this area. We will have a page launch sometime in the future that will greatly deal with this and we will have a video tutorial explaining the process using the google translator toolkit.
- The Gospel On the old version we had a button in the header called “Are you new here? CLick Here” and there was a short video there. On this version we have a Gospel button at the very top, we truly want those who come to the site to be exposed to the full true gospel. We find that many people come are in shallow churches and maybe will see a testimony or two, but will never be exposed to the true gospel, the hope is that they will go there. As you can see if you go to that page http://illbehonest.com/biblical-gospel there are some links under it that are clickable, the hope is to have solid videos and written resposnes to the key doctrines and questions that will be asked. I want the gospel page to be a page were I KNOW I can link it to a friend and they will get exposed to a ton of truth and leave with the right answers.
- Google Search We finally will have a search that will work for users to easily type in the name of the video or something the video had to deal with and they should be able to find the correct video. This is in the top right corner of the page. Note: The search will not work effectively until the site is indexed by Google, this could be days.I also want to note that there are ad’s showing on that page, the reason that is is because we are using a free google custom search and they make us have to have ad’s. The goal is to make our own search so we will not longer have to have that there. But until now we will have to put with those ad’s. We fully intend to keep the site totally clean of ad’s always, but those are ad’s we cannot avoid for now.
I will be making a video explaining the new site and launch that in the next days by God’s Grace. If you have any questions please email me at james(at)illbehonest.com
