How to Use the WorshipHomePage.com
by Don Chapman
What's a homepage? It's the webpage that
appears when you first start your Internet
browser. I created this homepage for worship
leaders a few years ago and have now redesigned
it with new features - www.worshiphomepage.com. Here's how this website can help you:
1. Free worship backgrounds. The little flickr window on the left of
the front page shows random pictures taken
from the millions of images on flickr.com.
click on one, download it and put it in PowerPoint,
MediaShout, EasyWorship or any worship lyrics
software. I've already download several that
would work. I'll program it to show various
search terms like "sky" "clouds"
"snow" etc. Learn how to format
your new pics for projection by clicking
the "Learn how to make a worship background"
link.
2. Email chord charts and MP3s for free. If you've tried to email chord charts and
MP3s to your praise team, you've found that
most email programs won't accept large files.
Sometimes the email goes through, sometimes
it doesn't. Use FileFlyer to send multiple
charts and MP3s to everyone and they'll get
the files. Upload all the files you want,
then enter the recipient's email (or several
email addresses, separated by a comma.) They'll
get an email with links to the files. Click
the "Email Charts/MP3s" link under
the WORSHIP TOOLS section.
3. Holiday calendar. Good worship leaders always know which holidays
are right around the corner (opps - is Mother's
Day this Sunday??!) Keep on top of it by
clicking the "Google Holiday Calendar"
link.
4. Guitar chords. Two separate programs to help you find
guitar chords (if they don't load immediately,
try refreshing your browser.)
5. Find worship images. Did you know that Google, Yahoo and Altavista
are secretly a super-humongous library of
images for your worship projection software?
Click the links, type in the name of the
image you want, and you have the perfect
pic for PowerPoint. Learn more about it here:

6. Bible Search. Want to have a Scripture reading during
your praise set? Find verses appropriate
to your theme by doing a Bible search - and
select the translation you want. Try the
Message version [MSG] for a fresh, modern
translation.
7. The best links. While not an exhaustive list that will make
you... exhausted - these worship links are
my picks for the top worship resources on
the Internet. Select the tabs at the top
of the page for media, music and software.
8. Logins. Do you subscribe to my paid websites HymnCharts.com,
WorshipFlow.com or WorshipMax.com? Here are
quick login links for you.
9. Email. Links to the most popular email services.
10. Culture news. Keep current with Drudge, Fox, Yahoo, Google
and other news outlets.
11. Firefox link. Try out the alternative browser, Firefox.
It's leaner than Internet Explorer
(that
means it supposedly loads and
surfs faster)
and has a cool, handy feature
called tabbed
browsing. Open one browser, surf
several
website all within that one browser.
