new header photo led to new background colour led to new style.  Pardon me while I play for a few days.  I haven’t begun to tweak the CSS yet.

(and given tomorrow’s to do list, it may just stay this way for a bit)

I know lots of links need updating too.  Soon.

happy quiet contented tweet tonight (as opposed to the insistent blue-tit you had yesterday)

synod twittering worked a treat, and lots of people have decided to give it a try.

Thanks to all who joined in today, and especially to Doug who should really have been giving today’s talk instead of acting as my glamourous assistant.

here’s the by-line for our future ventures:

Twitter:  a provincial conference every day.

I want more pisky tweets for my synod talk tomorrow.

The more I think about this, the more I think that twitter could be a very useful tool for us, but only if we build on our existing networks and call on people to church-twitter wisely.    This virgin twitterer believes that hash tags are key.  We need to use the #pisky tag lots, and share news and stories of God and links to good resources.

So, dear Hermionies, the fallow season is over.  I need you to sign up for twitter before 1 pm tomorrow.  It will take you five minutes.  Download tweet deck (google it), and it will become more pleasing.  I am focusing on the non-twitterers here.  Don’t worry if you didn’t understand what I said about hash tags.  Just know that when you tweet, if you put #pisky somewhere in the tweet, then anyone who does a twitter search for #pisky will be able to find you.  Me, for instance.  And all those watching tomorrow lunch time at synod.

Today’s challenges:

1. Rosemary — 1 tweet that communicates the wonders of an OT prophet of your choice.
2. Elizabeth — 1 tweet on good use of language in liturgy, theology or poetry (quotations are fine)
3. Kate — 1 tweet on the joy of God’s call
4. Sarah — (honorary pisky) — 1 tweet on something you are learning from worship in Haiti
5. Mary — (do you tweet?) — 1 tweet on what it’s like to be a 20-something pisky
6. Jackie — 1 tweet on finding God in the everyday

Anyone who feels left out:  1 tweet on how important it is to make people feel included

I notice my list is addressed entirely to women.  In part that’s the reality of my readership.  In part it’s because most of the men who read this blog are already signed up and tweeting.

But please prove me wrong all you men out there:  come out come out and tell us you’re here.

Ok.  Someone more clever than I has pointed out that what I was trying to do on Facebook was against the regulations, and that I could solve the problem by setting up a group (and that no, the group members didn’t link as ‘friends’).  So that I what I shall do.  Tomorrow or Monday…

Sorry to the person who I’d just befriended in the account I’m about to delete…
