Site Update
It has been recommended to me to give a site update, to let readers know some of the things that have been added recently to Sacred River. I’ve been working hard on the site in my spare time (which has been dwindling lately) and I want to share what I’ve come up with.
• Sacred River Bookstore. Sacred River now has an Amazon Affiliate account. You can browse and purchase titles through this site, and we will earn a small commission for every item sold. So, if you are in the market for a new book, this is a great way to get your read on and support Sacred River at the same time.
• Photo Gallery. You might have noticed that photos have started to appear on Sacred River. My brilliant partner Janet, herself a talented photographer, suggested that images might liven up the place. She was right! Most of the pics are from my camera, but I plan on using more of her photos in the future. The Gallery is simply a page that puts all the images in one place for you to enjoy. Eventually I hope to add a nice slideshow app, but that is on the back-burner for now.
• Lots-’o-Links. I’ve added a fair number of links to our new Links page. I want to strike a balance by listing a fair number of useful and related sites without becoming a link repository. That said, if you have any suggestions, or would like to offer a link exchange, just let us know.
• Communications. Speaking of which, there are a couple of communication additions. After much coding toil, I have finally got threaded comments to work. You (yes YOU) are invited to add your thoughts and start conversations in the individual posts. No registration is required. Also, I have added a contact form to the site, which you can get to from the bottom of every page in the footer. Questions, comments, and suggestions are strongly encouraged.
There are many plans for this site, which is only now in its version 1.0 phase. However, you are invited to add your voice to what we are building here. If there is something that you would like to see here at Sacred River, by all means let us know. Although the site is essentially a blog at the moment, eventually we want the site to become a thriving online community, ideally evolving into real-world groups and activities. We are excited by this vision and want you to feel welcome and inspired to volunteer your own efforts to Sacred River.
I would love to see, love to participate in the creation of, inspirational material for religious naturalists. I hesitate to call it “devotional,” as it sounds theistic, but as I see it the All is worthy of the one.
