Superficial Intelligence

This past weekend, my father was "installed" as a pastor of a church back in Puerto Rico. My mom suggested that I make a website for the church as a gift. I took the challenge and during the installation presented my first prototype of the site.

What happens in the case of many non-profit organizations and churches is that they lack people with sufficient technical knowledge to keep a page updated or that the people who do have the knowledge lose interest or focus their attention on other tasks. That is why I tried to make the site as easy to maintain as possible. Since my dad likes blogging, I looked for a blogging service which would also let me modify the design as I pleased. I settled for typepad.com. This way, the site could be kept fresh with new content thanks to its easy-to-use blogging features. I also made the calendar an embedded google calendar, so that activities could be kept up to date without any html editing.

Although the site seems to be working pretty good, I still have some design issues to fix. The problem is I did all my CSS design in Firefox and now (surprise!) the page looks weird in Internet Explorer. Anyway, here is a sneak preview of what the page looks like in Firefox (it's in Spanish by the way):

And here is the slightly screwed-up IE version:
