Church web-pages have a key role in evangelism. You can help churches
fulfil this potential by using this page on your site. Instead of
linking to our page of resource ideas for church sites, you can insert the page right into your
own site. It will blend completely into your page, and follow your own style. All you
need to do is create a new page with the following coding, which you can copy/paste.
[Tips]
Give this new page the file name 'guide' (e.g. guide.html, guide.htm, etc.) and then the back
links from all the pages on the Guide that it links to will return visitors to your site using
a special script.
Comments in red are not part
of the coding, but indicate where to add additional elements of your own.

A page headline and any top navigation bar or graphics go here. You
can also write a short introductory paragraph to lead in to the syndicated material if you wish.

Write your own descriptive paragraph about this page here. This section, in 'noscript' tags,
is only visible in browsers which do not have Javascript working. It enables those visitors to
follow the link and still read the material online. It will also give search engines some text to scan.

Include any end-of-page navigation bar or links to your homepage here.

Additional notes
Our promise to you: only helpful and useful links are included on this site.
There is nothing on the page to promote our own organization. The only agenda of this page is:
to encourage people to create church websites which can reach non-Christians. This page was
written by the author of the Internet section in the new Operation World book.
If you are using a WYSIWIG editor such as Frontpage, open the option that allows you to edit
the actual coding for your page. Or create a page first, then open it in a text editor such as Wordpad, then paste this coding into the page.
If you use a style sheet, the page will follow this style. Otherwise, include your normal choice of background color in the body tag, and font specifications for the page. We highly recommend that you
specify 'sans serif' fonts for all your pages (either using a style sheet, or at the top of the page body. A useful combination is
<font face="helvetica,sans-serif,arial">
If you wish to offer second-language speakers some online dictionary help, check our
dictionary interface.
This page insert is suitable for any Christian website; it should not be added to an evangelistic section of any site, since its intended readership is Christians.
It is particularly useful for any Christian ISP, church-site provider, webmaster page, denominational HQ site or Christian portal.
It is also possible to insert any other page within the Guide, or the entire Web Evangelism Guide (of which this page is a part) into your site:
easy instructions.
If you name your page guide.html (or the file name contains the word 'guide', the back-links
on other pages will take users back to your page.
If you wish, you can also add additional closing material/links of your own choice after the insert,
which can follow on logically from the syndicated content.
You may wish to place a 'back to top' link at the end of your page. A "top" anchor is already
embedded in the insert page, so your link will be:
<a href="#top">top</a>
The printable poster link at the end of the page produces a customized poster containing your own URL for site visitors to
print for their church noticeboards. The news release also points people to your own site.
If you prefer just to link to the page instead of inserting it, use this URL:
