Dear Ron.

Greetings in the name of the Lord and compliments of the season. I got to hear about you through Julius who told me about the great thing you did for their association. I'm from Abakliki dioceses in Ebonyi state southeast Nigeria and a seminarian presently at Bigard memorial seminary Enugu. Please, write back telling me the modalities of making church organizations be on the net.

Thanks and God bless you.

Emmanuel,

The blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and all of yours.

It's good to hear from you. YES - I can help you, and it would be my pleasure and my blessing.

To get free pages on the http://www.Lordnet.com web site - all you need to send me is content. The best way is by email. Send me a message with the information you want posted.
Look at the pages done for St. Mary's Catholic Youth Organization:
http://www.Lordnet.com/StMaryEnugu/

They wanted six pages. Send me six emails with the words for each page (best for me).
The email becomes the content for that page. So if you wanted a page called ABOUT US,
send me an email with information for the ABOUT US page. Send me an email for each page
with the words for that page contained in the message. If you can, send me photo's or a scanned image as an attachment to an email message. Make sure I know how and where to post that image or photo.

Photo's and images are great things to post, as are officers of a group, activities, and history about the group. You could also send me word processing files as an attachment (and save yourself from retyping the information). Make sure you give me contact names and telephone numbers, and a postal address too.

If you have a logo or special colors you would want used, let me know. If you have links on the web that might have some of your information on them (perhaps a college page or some other church organization), send me the link.

There is no cost. You could put me on your prayer list for a while . . . I will host the pages for your group as long as I'm in the internet business. God has been good to me - this is part of my way in paying Him back for His blessing. You may tell others about the Lordnet.com offer to help them too.

Send me updates as needed - make sure that there is always a good contact address for the group. If you are able to mail something to me - I can scan it or type it in for you. Let me know if you want to try this, I'll send you my postal address - or look on the http://www.Lordnet.com site for my address.

Look over the Lordnet.com site - see how others have presented their information, and send me your information.

May the Lord God be kind to you, and hold you in his precious Wounded hands.

Your friend in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, USA,

From a submitter in 1997:

NIGERIA ! NOW WE'RE TALKING THE WORLD WIDE WEB !!

. . . when submitting text, PLEASE do not format or use tabs. Do not set up tables or columns. Just type sentences until you make a paragraph. Hit return at least 2 times between paragraphs, even more if you want. For each page, make sure the major headings are in upper case, then hit return, then type the paragraph.

When you do any formatting or laying out, it might look nice to you, even look nice in the email message. But I spent about 2 hours re-formatting and re-typing to make HTML code out of what you sent. Just create big long strings of sentences with upper case major headings. Do not place line feeds (returns) between sentences unless they are paragraphs, then hit return at least 2 times. Send the graphics as an attachment to an email. If all else fails, mail me a floppy disk with the text and graphics, or papers with the information. I'll get to it as soon as I can.

If I'm going to make this Lordnet.com work, I have to get the submission process down pat. I'm going into great detail here in this message because I'm going to post this (part of this) message as the protocol for submission.

Well, let me know, show father, and send me some more. Let Jim and Lelya know about www.Lordnet.com, and any others that may wish to submit. And if you run into a really rich person hit 'em up for a contribution for continued development here (never mind, I have a plan, I'm working for credit in Heaven . . . ).

God Bless
