Posted by John Saddington on Mar 11, 2009

One of the fun things about being a content creator is the opportunity to create new words.

Not all words that are birthed are created equal in spendor, usage, or even sanity, but that’s not the point.

  1. Our church website is not "chugly" but it is woefully in need of regular updating. On of my MAJOR pet peeves! I've even offered to do it myself…to no avail. *sigh*

    Awww – I wanted to see samples!

  3. I think we should be able to submit sites for someone to determine if they are chugly. Although my blog is not specifically a church site, I would still be curious what people think about the design. I am working on an updated theme currently.

  4. Some sites need rework not because they are offensive but uninspiring. Like mine!

  5. My church website is not chugly . . . it is just misunderstood! ;)
