Your Feedback = Chance to Win

My favourite (and least favourite!) part about the new Network is how easy it is to lose several hours just moving from one post to another of really relevant ministry stuff...almost no matter who you are. This stuff affects and effects us all! Thanks for all the hard work.

I appreciate the larger font and cleaner look.  Yes, it takes time to see everything each week (and I do see everything), but it's worth it.  Thankyou for giving us this forum to share/learn with/from each.

I love how user-friendly your new site is. It's very interactive for the reader and within a couple clicks, I can get to the topic or information that I'm looking for. I just became a member and I'm thrilled at how much information there is available. I had no idea. 

My complaint would be about the imagery. There is a lot of potential for appropriate and dynamic images in the posts. The thumbnail images are quite small and I've noticed that if the images are too busy or dull, then I may pass over the article even if the title is active. 

Perhaps you could also arrange the front page to highlight your best articles front and center with the list of topic just below instead of dividing up the space? 

Overall, it's a wonderful new layout. Congrats! 

I really like how you can subscribe (once again) to individual topics, because the overall summary email was just too overwhelming. Thanks for brining that back.

The search features are also quite helpful.

Love the clean new look of the site.  

Really like the new look. Also like being able to look things up.

Hi. I like the new layout and read the different topics.

I love the clean simple look.  It makes it easy to read and find the topics you are looking for .  Good work!

I like the new look of the Network.  It is crisp, clear and inviting to read

I'll be watching for info and ideas on visuals for worship and for sharing visuals. Thanks for the update!

It's been feast or famine with my Network participation.  It always seems like there is more interest than time to keep up to date.

Keep up the good work!

I like that anyone can create a new post--seems like that will allow for some cool opportunities. 

The new design is great; looking forward to using the Network more. 

The new look is much more usable.

I like the clear navigation of the new site. There is so much information (good!), so the ability to sift and sort effectively makes it much easier to find what I need.

I hope to utilize this site much more now that I took the time to register for the weekly email about new postings. Thanks for making it so easy.

Where's the link to creation care/environment?

I like the new look. Larger font makes it easier to read. And I really hope that the navigation by topic and type will help people find their interest more easily. Kudos to the Network team. 

I enjoy the network and the new look.  I'm also one who browses occasionally, but usually find at least one thing of interest.

Thanks to you and the team for working constantly to make this better and better.  I

Appreciate your work!!

Great update. I like the 5 minute time frame for corrections

I enjoy getting to read and post on the "Tech" part of the site, and hopefully it helps other people that read what ive wrote.

Nice that members can post their own blogs! Thanks for all the efforts to be tech-forward. :-)

Ok then, just to say "hi"!  Will post something also...

You've done a nice job updating the site.  Have I missed an easy way to see what is "trending" on it?

It's a real shame that the CRC has to resort to 'FREE STUFF' in order to attract people. If we are true to the Word then we should know that our God, Yahweh, supplies all our needs. We should not be going this route, we're barking up the wrong tree!! This is a lottery in the real sense of the word, and will not be blessed by the One we say we serve.

I agree with others you described the difficulty of sorting through the noise to find the signal. So much great stuff available that it challenges my discernment and I tend to default to using my confirmation bias as a guide. I have thought about this in other arenas where the same problem exists and the best that I seem to be able to do is rely on a few trusted curators to guide and challenge me.

It seems the new design is much more intuitive and user friendly. Along with many of the others, I also appreciate the clean and "minimalist' design. 

Beautiful new website! Clean and functional. Nicely done.

so clean, so inviting and yes, simply can spend hours reading, learning, browsing and reflecting on who we are as a community and larger church! thank you for the use of giftedness and calling us to a stronger purpose and learning. May God be praised in it all.

I've really been enjoying the CRC Network.  Keep up the great work!  As an office administrator I have my fingers in many church 'pies'.  It is great to see how others are dealing with various issues that develop or how other churches manage, encourage and sustain the different ministries and function groups.

I enjoy following the subjects on the blog. I love my CRC and want to keep up.

I think this new Network is fabulous.  It always had great resources and input and now it is easier to manage and customize to your interests. 

In our church we have a website and a link to the Network.  The website does give information to the community about us and links to audio sermons, etc.  However, it was decided that we need a place for those who would like to join a community on line so there is a link on our website for that as well.  At the moment we have started doing this through a website called "the city" which allows a group (our church) to set up a "campus" in which we can set up groups, discussions, a calendar, do prayer requests, etc.  Although this is good, in my opinion, it would be much better if this could be an extension of the Network.  That way we could seamlessly be part of community within the network for such things as service or other groups locally, share prayer and other needs locally and at the same time be part of the big network and all the resources and opportunities that there are in the wider community of the CRCNA.
