Using BlogCFC to Power Church Web Site

I’ve recently selected Ray Camden’s BlogCFC to power my parish’s web site.  The reasons for doing so are various.  We needed a site that could easily communicate current news and events around the parish while being simple to navigate for users and simple to maintain for parish staff.  A blog style site works for us because the most popular content is parish news.  The remainder of the site is mostly static content containing Mass schedules, parish contact information, etc.

The task at hand now is selecting a layout.  We need something bold, but not overwhelming.  I’ve been checking out Open Source Web Design and Styleshout for templates and have come to like a few.  I’ll add a couple of screenshots of layouts I’ve applied for consideration.

After we get the new layout, I’m hoping to rollout the new site in time for Easter.
