Nothing is as Easy as it Seems

August 1, 2010 I decided that I would build a personal website that could help in finding a new pastoral position. (I can only stay here at Stewartstown Presbyterian Church until June 30, 2011)

First task, find a web hosting company that will host my website, spgutridge.com, for low or no cost. Solution, 1and1.com. I posted my picture, wrote a Statement of Faith, and listed my contact email. Then I wanted to post some videos of sermons. Well, they don't offer that feature. I looked for another company that would host my website and videos for little or no cost. I found a business site but I have been unable to format my videos in a usable form. (Oh, the trials of trying to do professional web stuff with standard Micro Soft software.)

I prepared two short videos that are now on YouTube and linked from my website. I'm sure that a professional, with expensive software, and lots of experience could have done this faster. Yet, I learned so much and am proud of my accomplishment. Check it out! www.spgutridge.com
