Step 1: Make sure the Viper Video Plugin is enabled.  To do this, login as the administrator and click on the “Plugins” tab at the top righthand of the page.  If the Viper Video Plugin is not already activated then go ahead and activate it by clicking the “activate” link under the “Action” column.

How to “Adopt A Catholic Blog”

Athanasius contra mundum of the 50 Days After blog thought of a really cool idea.  He calls this idea “Adopting a Catholic Blog”.  Contra says that “By adopting you would keep the author(s) in your prayers and link to their site on your sidebar (if you have a site). But you would also read their blog with some frequency, maybe blog on one of their posts, and comment on his or her blog as you see fit.”

Four Easy Steps to Adopting a Catholic Blog:

  1. Choose one of your favorite Catholic bloggers (preferably a St Blogs Blog.)
  2. Add a link to this blog in your blogroll or links section of your own blog.
  3. Post your selection in the comments section of Contra’s post (try not to adopt the same blog as someone else.)
  4. Pray for this blog’s author(s).

Please direct your comments to Contra and let him know that you are praying for him as he is being deployed soon.

I recently found out about this cool new site called PickAFig (www.pickafig.com) from a comment on our site.

Just what is PickAFig?

Think “Digg”, only Catholic!  It is a place where you can “pick” your favorite blogposts, online news articles, and really anything Catholic related.  It is social bookmarking at its finest!

So head over to PickAFig now! (or whenever you have some free time, which is never, so you better go there now ; )
