Working on the Website

Dan Carlson — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:53:52 +0000

For those of you re-engaging our website now that I’ve re-engaged updating it, you will notice we are experiencing ongoing reconstruction. Graphics are changing a bit, we’ve added several links, and I’m learning how to manage much of the site rather than having a consultant do the work. As you see the changes, and . . . → Read More: Working on the Website

A New “Page”, ELCA Ministry Partners

Dan Carlson — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 16:01:58 +0000

As this website is renovated I’ll make weblog posts describing site additions and changes. Today I added a page of ELCA Ministry Partners. Check it out!

A New Look on the Website!

Dan Carlson — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:03:09 +0000

As you can see there have been some changes to the website. It all started with attempts at a new logo. After a consult with my Web Coach Griff, the next thing I knew I had a whole new look to the site. As you can see we are still under construction, more changes and renovations to come. My focus is content and format right now, then we will work on the “look” of the site.

Take Care

An Updated “About….Public Safety Ministries, Inc.”

Dan Carlson — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 13:05:23 +0000

As the ministry has grown and evolved, so has the mission, vision and strategies associated with PSMInc. The following is the new version of “About…” located to the left of this post.

Our Mission:
Promoting Spiritual Fitness in the Public Safety Professions.

Our Vision:
To provide public safety leaders with the spiritual care and support resources they need for personal spiritual fitness development. In turn, those leaders will possess the resources needed to promote and support the spiritual fitness of their employees and organizations. The end result will be organizations with spiritually fit employees providing quality public safety services to our communities.

Our Strategy:
We will actively and professionally engage public safety professionals and organizations through a traditional chaplaincy ministry of presence, service and relationships. We will provide spiritual care and support services, including referral resources, to the public safety community in times of need as well as in times of calm. We will be present as they gather to accomplish their critical responsibilities and we will work to provide opportunities to gather for spiritual fitness growth and development.

- Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association, Appointed Chaplain
- Hennepin County Chiefs of Police Association, Appointed Chaplain
- Public Safety Ministries Inc. Website
Service Projects:

A Banner Photo Re-Run

Just in case any of our new readers out there were curious, I thought I’d link to a re-run of the post I wrote about the banner photo on the top of this page. Click Here to read it.

Take Care, and enjoy the SNOW! (those of you who live around here anyway)

Photos Are Back!!!!!

Dan Carlson — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 07:00:09 +0000

Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t posted any photos (other than links off the net) lately. Well that was the result of user issues, aka I reverted to old software and forgot how to use it. Well I refreshed my brain and figured it out. Below are some photos I should have put in previous posts. See if you can figure out which ones go where. (and they all don’t go in the same post)

Comments Are On!(and some are coming in)

Dan Carlson — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 23:23:12 +0000

A couple of weeks ago we turned on the “comments” option at the bottom of the posts. For those of us that are learning as we go in the weblogging world, (what you are reading is actually is a weblog, aka “blog” for those of you that didn’t know) we have to learn about the different functions and protocols, customs and benefits of reading and responding to weblogs.

The comments function is an important tool for building an informative and interesting interactive website. This past week I received a few (three actually) comments on my posts. I will respond to some of the comments with an additional comment, some comments need no response, hopefully some comments will stimulate a comment or two from other readers and sometimes I will respond to the comment in a new post. For instance, today I added comments to my posts from 2/23 and 2/14. I intend to write an additional post regarding comments on the 2/21 post.

So if you are new to the weblogging world, check out the comments function of current and previous posts. You click on the word “comments” and you can read what some other people have to say or say something yourself.

Reader Interaction

Dan Carlson — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 18:48:25 +0000

I think it is time that I open the “comments” function of these website postings.Â Now that I am “retired” fromÂ my day job, I have more time to commit to working on this site.Â So from now on I am going to set “comments on ” as the default.Â So feel free to comment on what has been posted, what’s been commented on about what’s been posted, what’s been commented on about what’s been commented on about what’s been posted, what’s been….well you get the picture (sometimes I crack myself up, my kids on the other hand just don’t get it…or me)

“Contact Us” is back up and running!

Dan Carlson — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 02:39:48 +0000

I told you I had top people on the tech issue! “Contact Us” is back in service!

Also, I have just received all of the lost (temporarily mis-placed) e-mails that have been sent over the past month or so. I appreciate your feedback and will be responding to all messages in the next couple . . . → Read More: “Contact Us” is back up and running!

Welcome…..sort of…..pretty soon….

If you are reading this you’ve obviously found our new website. I’ve wrestled with when to go live with this site. I’ve been working on drafts of postings and pages and links and some other stuff, but my patience is growing thin and I wanted to spend some “time on the water” so to speak. (If you want to know what “time on the water” means, click on it and you’ll go to definitions where you can look it up). So I’m jumping in and playing with it. I’m retiring in January of 2007 and that’s when this becomes my full time gig. But for now I’m fitting it in between the chief, husband, dad, dog handler gigs.

If you do find your way here and you want to know something about this adventure that isn’t here, feel free to “contact me” and I promise I’ll get back to you. Stay tuned…..
