Improvements on Next-Step-of-Faith

There is so much on the Next-Step-of-Faith Website that I've had to add a new feature. If you go to any of the pages now, on the sidebar on the left, there is a Google Search link. That will bring you to a Search Site Page where you can type in any author's name, any word, any subject, anything, and you'll find it if it's on the website. I'm pleased that this new feature will help our readers and each other find what we're looking for.

And, by using this Google tool, we'll all have an easier time of being found when someone searches for our names on the internet. I'm very excited that this should help us improve our readership and the way people find us on the net. How fun is that???!!!

Writing Opportunities for Pay...

As many of you know, the Next-Step-of-Faith is great training ground for writers to perfect their craft. I wanted to pass along a writing opportunity that may result in being paid for your writing talent:

Chicken Soup for the Chocolate Lovers Soul and Chicken Soup for the Tea Lovers Soul will not be published until October 2007. Final deadline for stories is March 31, 2007. Contributors will not be notified until next May if their stories make the final selection. You may send your story directly to the e-mail address in the http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=dyefy9bab.0.8vcny9bab.yfvmn9n6.3835&ts=S0220&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chickensoup.com%2F website. They are also doing books for wine and coffee at the same time too, but Theresa Peluso at Health Communications Inc. (Chicken Soup's publishers) is doing those and collecting stories for them. Her e-mail address is teri@hcibookspub.com. Feel free to send your chocolate and tea stories to me if you'd like someone to help you proof and/or edit your works.
