I’m pleased to announced that Our Rising Sound will now be contributing on the Worship.com blog. If you haven’t been over to Worship.com make sure and subscribe to the blog feed, there are a lot of great articles and a wide variety of contributors including, Bob Kauflin, Scot Longyear (I follow your lead) and the Resurgence. I’ll certainly need to dress appropriately and behave myself over there with that crowd. There is no change of content on this site, business as usual here, but now some of the posts will also appear on Worship.com.

I’m happy to introduce Brett Ernenputsch (pronounced “Erne-whatever”) our new contributor dedicated to everything hip-hop. Here’s what I know and love about Brett
- He loves Jesus
- He loves hip-hop
- He loves this blog
What else do you need to know? Those are the three elements of a successful, abundant life. In addition to those 3 points he is one of the leaders at our church, is currently going through our Movement Internship program and has a bunch of tattoos which is enough street cred for me. I’m looking forward to Brett’s insight into the world of hip-hop, how it’s impacting or being impacted by the church and our culture.
Thanks Brett for bringing another musical dimension to this blog!

Godblog recently met and published a set of commandments on blogging based loosely on the 10 commandements to help reign in the craziness. Good luck on that. Let’s see how many of these I’ve broken…
- You shall not put your blog before your integrity. (think I’m good here)
- You shall not make an idol of your blog. (feeling a little convicted…next one dangit)
- You shall not misuse your screen name by using your anonymity to sin. (think I’m clear here)
- Remember the sabbath day by taking one day off a week from your blog. (I do take a day off but not because of the sabbath, I get a half point here)
- Honor your fellow-bloggers above yourselves and do not give undue significance to their mistakes. (I enjoy promoting other people’s stuff and try to not to nitpick mistakes unless I have serious theological problems and their influence is high enough to warrant a response)
- You shall not murder someone else’s honor, reputation or feelings. (murder? no way.)
- You shall not use the web to commit or permit adultery in your mind. (need the humility to say although I’m ok today, this needs constant attention, prayer and accountability)
- You shall not steal another person’s content. (if I ever steal I give credit to the person of whom I’m stealing…that’s the least I can do right?)
You shall not give false testimony against your fellow-blogger. (I’d never say something like Scot worships Osteen, or Scot L. once did a Michael Jackson song in worship, or Billy has a tattoo of Carman on his calf….never would I say this)- You shall not covet your neighbor’s blog ranking. Be content with your own content. (well when you say covet do you mean like…ummm….ok fine. Yes I do, I really do. I won’t say who but it rhymes with Tagamuffin)
Well there’s my confession. How many do you guys break?

Technorati 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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”.
- 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.
