In my quest to have worked on every Catholic website in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis*, I have finished up another Archdiocesan website today: Behold the new Kenrick-Glennon Seminary website:
The site is running on Drupal 6.10, and uses a nice assortment of modules to help with certain functions, such as the FileField Podcast module for easily adding new Podcast episodes. Most of the dynamic pages were generated using CCK and Views, two of the most versatile modules ever made for any CMS, ever.
Apparently the students inside the Seminary building can't access the new site because their internal DNS server is caching the old server where their previous site was located! Ah well, a call to the Seminary's IT department, and that should be fixed. What do you think of the new site?
*Not seriously... but it seems to be happening that way ;-)
We're almost halfway through Lent, and Catholics in St. Louis (and around the country!) are waiting anxiously for the announcement of our next Archbishop. I'm hoping the announcement will come before the end of Lent, so we can have our Archbishop installed sometime during the Easter season (the most beautiful time of year, here in St. Louis).
A Catholic rumors blog, Whispers in the Loggia, seems to be hinting that we're 'on deck' in terms of American dioceses with empty bishops' chairs... and I hope that Whispers is right!
One cool way that you can be among the first to know when the new Archbishop is announced (I've written about this before... but there's definitely room to write about it again!) is to sign up for the Archdiocese's SMS Message list; you'll get a text message within 5 minutes of Rome's announcement of the new Archbishop!
