Our Rising Sound apparel coming soon!

Tagged Under : ,

Just in time for the holidays. Nothing says “I love you” like an Our Rising Sound fitted shirt. Right now the quality control team is rigorously field testing the gear to make sure it’s up to standards. Teams are doing worship sets, prayer meetings and sermons 24/7 to see how this apparel holds up to the beatings of ministry life. There will be weeping and gnashing of cotton. Once ORSQCT (Our Rising Sound Quality Control Team) comes back with the green light we’ll have a link where you can purchase. Until then here’s a sneak peek.

What is Technorati and how can you help ORS?

Tagged Under : , ,

Technorati LogoTechnorati is a blog search engine that indexes millions of blogs. It then “ranks” your blog based off the number of times other sites link to it. This helps determine what they call your blog’s “relevance”. The higher Technorati rank the more visibility you get in the searches. There are a few things you can do to help this blog increase its ranking.

  1. Link to posts you find interesting on your own sites/blogs. This would include Facebook, Myspace and any personal blogs. In our interview with John Mark McMillan we are doing a giveaway based off of people linking to the post. So spread the love.
  2. Add Our Rising Sound to your blogroll. In addition to linking single posts you can also add this site to your blogroll or links in your blog so a permanent link is visible.Our Rising Sound Technorati link
  3. Add Our Rising Sound to your Technorati Favorites. You can do this by clicking the “Add to Technorati Favorites” link on the right sidebar under “Web Life”.
  4. Comment please. This doesn’t have any direct impact on Technorati ranking but it does show engagement with your readers. So if you find the post interesting, comment and let us know, if you hate it, comment and let us know that too. We have a lot of silent readers here but I want some interaction. I want to know what you’re thinking, I’m not afraid to argue either so bring it.

Site redesign finished and this time I’m happy

Tagged Under : ,

Been a busy few days getting this latest redesign ready. But it solves a few problems and eliminates a few limitations the previous designs had so I’m stoked. This should be a good base to build off going forward. Still need to make a few tweaks but I’m tired and my wife is giving me that, “if you don’t get in bed now you’re sleeping on the couch” look. Have some exciting posts lined up for later today, I’ll give you a hint, it rhymes with, “Shawn Shmark Shmickmillan”. We’ll even be giving a free prize away as well.

Stay close and let me know how you like the new look. Click around and explore, it’s fun. Big props to Josh Dailey for the logo design, well done as always my man.
