What happened here?

Sorry for the downtime recently. I’m temporarily putting up a default theme for UnashamedSermons.com so at least the sermons can still be searched. Unfortunately things aren’t as easy to find as they used to be with the old site (and the layout of course isn’t the greatest). As was posted temporarily while the site was down – my webhost (http://bluehost.com) claimed that my website(s) were causing to much load on the shared server I’m on and told me I had to make changes before they’d activate my sites again. Needless to say, I’m not happy with this!

I’ve been meaning to get around to changing things up on Unashamed Sermons for a while now but just have never had the time. I still don’t – this unplanned downtime doesn’t change that. So…it looks like this temp look will be it for a while. I’ll still be posting new messages here when I get a chance but it of course won’t be as frequent as it usually is.

Hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas! To you preachers out there…keep on spreading the good news of God’s extravagant gift and extraordinary love!

YouVersion – Check it out

For about 2 months, I’ve been using a new webservice on the internet called “YouVersion.com“. Created by the same tech team that does lifechurch.tv, youversion is an Online Bible integrated with the “social” features of web2.0

Currently I use youversion.com to do my daily devotionals but in the coming months I’m going to be posting a link to my messages with the relevant verses via their content.

Give youversion a try – it’s really cool. (oh, btw my username on youversion is “nerrad“)

New Things Under the Surface

Well, I’ve completed a MAJOR part of the overhaul of UnashamedSermons.com – for the average user visiting this site however there’s not much new visible (except for maybe a few items that appear missing). I’ve still got a few tweaks to do here and there to bring things back to the way they were but the major bits of Userm are online and working for now.

I’m looking for some suggestions for things that are missing that the readers/users of UnashamedSermons.com would like to see. If you’ve got something – leave a comment to this post

(ALSO, for those who follow my personal blog over at unfoldingneurons.com you know that one of my hobbies is designing plugins (more notably the Organize Series Plugin which was inspired from custom work I did here). As part of the upgrade/overhaul of UnashamedSermons.com I’ve written a new plugin that I’ll be releasing to the community soon – watch my blog for the announcement sometime over the weekend )

Major update under progress…

Today I’m conducting a pretty major update of the software that runs UnashamedSermons.com.Â I’m going to try to limit the downtime as much as possible – however there is bound to be some downtime as I tweak things.Â My apologies … Continue reading →

Going through changes…

Â UPDATE: Everything should work just fine now! The transfer took less time than I thought it would.

UnashamedSermons.com has been moved to a new web-host provider that will hopefully result in faster page loads and less downtime. Unfortunately it’s taking quite a while to move all the .mp3′s from the old host (over 1.5gb of data). All the content can still be accessed but I apologize for the errors when trying to listen to sermons. By the beginning of next week I should have all the files transferred and things should work once again!
