About This Website

Welcome

Thank you for visiting St. Peter’s Parish web site. We hope you find this site interesting and helpful. The content and the success of the site, depend upon the efforts of many of St. Peter’s parishioners, as well as our clergy and staff. New features are added occasionally, so we have a page where you can check out what’s new.

Site Content

We are hoping to find an editor for the web site whose primary function will be to assure that all portions of our web site become and remain current. Having meaningful and up-to-date content requires the person responsible for each area of ministry to either contribute content to the respective web page, or assign the task to another. And to be really useful, that content must be freshened regularly. For some pages that could be monthly, or even weekly. The web editor will review the site on a regular basis to weed out stale material. If you would be interested in this important ministry, please contact Rich Smith, our Parish Life Director.

Also the web site would benefit greatly if the various schedules were kept up-to-date. What is required is a person in each area of ministry to send that schedule by email to the webmaster for uploading to the web site.

We also invite your criticisms and suggestions. Those regarding content can be directed to the appropriate person responsible for the individual page or section. Usually there is an email link on the page. If not you can email Rich Smith.

Site Design

Navigation within this site is multidirectional rather than hierarchical or tree-like. Using the pull-down menu allows one to jump around without having to return to the home page or the site map. The menu uses JavaScript. If you have a really old browser or have turned off JavaScript in your browser, you will not see our pull-down menu, but you can still move from page to page using the links at the top of each page. These links should appear if the pull-down menu is not available to you. And you should use our Site Map page.

The host server for our web site supports a computer language called PHP which makes it easier for us to provide schedules and other information that must be updated frequently. In addition, we have changed the pages so that they are created by a web publishing program, WordPress, which in turn is written in PHP. WordPress will allow various individuals, with permission, to edit the pages directly from the internet, using their home computers. But of course the success of this will depend upon the recruiting those persons.
