Thanks to all the users that have downloaded and installed SimplyWiki 1.0, a few things were discovered and improvements were necessary. So, this announces the release of SimplyWiki 1.01 RC1 - it is available as a complete install package or as an upgrade package.

Officially - this is an RC release. Do not install on a live site without testing on a copy of your site, or without making a backup of your site

Unofficially - the changes are minor and the resolutions were quite simple. If you like to take risks (and this one is rather small), install or upgrade to this version.

A few years ago, I discovered Scripturizer - a javascript that finds Bible references in your web pages and turns them into links to the verses on BibleGateway. The script is fairly simple to add to your site, if you don't mind editing the HTML for each theme you use - until now.

Each of us leads busy lives, lives often without any space between what we are trying to do and our capabilities. It's important we make time in each day for things that are truly important - our faith, our family and our friends. LIke many of you, I suffer from the same lack of time in a day - 24 hours just isn't enough!

To help us in this plight, I have added PiCal, a calendar module, here at Christian Web Resources. With this calendar, I will share some of the "Big Rocks" that go on my calendar first.

It's been a year since Christian Web Resources was launched and we're still here providing tips, tricks, guidance, examples, fellowship and encouragement for church and ministry web masters using XOOPS and ImpressCMS.

Admittedly, there hasn't been a ton of activity here, but there are things I am proud of and urge me to continue. For example, shortly after launching, Christian Web Resources hit the 1st page of Google search results for 'xoops resources'. Now, we are in the #1 position at Google and #2 for 'impresscms resources'!  We're also doing pretty good for XOOPS or ImpressCMS + 'church sites'.

ImpressCMS 1.1 has been released as a final, stable release and the list of new features is rather impressive!

Some of the features introduced in this version of ImpressCMS have been on the community's wish list for a long time -

• Built-in content creator and manager
• Integration of OpenID as an authentication method for user logins
• WYSIWYG editor available throughout the site without having to hack the core or modules
• Increased security options for encrypting user passwords
• Built-in support for RTL (right-to-left) languages
• Password strength meter
• CAPTCHA built-in and used for system comments and registration forms
• and many more features...
