Unleash Conference 2008 Minisite

Thu 03/20/08

I just launched a minisite for NewSpring Church’s Unleash Conference featuring the video content of the two main sessions from this year (and last year), some photography (from myself and anyone tagging their conference photos with unleash08), and a few other goodies.

In leu of a typical blog, I thought we’d try using Twitter as a way to relay information for Unleash 09 and updates. We’ll see how that works out. Obviously, everyone doesn’t have a Twitter account, but I’d wager enough do (or will) to make it a viable experiment.

I’m constantly running into roadblocks, both small and large, while we’re hosted/CMSed by our current provider. Their templates are fairly worthless, so I’m just building pages from scratch, but their core technologies are all Microsoft-based (no PHP, no .htaccess, no anything fun) and they have control of our DNS right now, which makes it absurdly difficult to get anything done quickly or easily. They will go away soon. I will rejoice. All that to say, sorry about the lack of clean URLs; I know nothing about ASP other than I don’t want to use it.

For the typography lovers, I’m using Mike Cina’s quirky tall Jute for most of the display text. I’ve been wanting to use it on a project for (literally) years, but nothing really clicked until this site.

  1. Nice looking site, but my questions is: when do I get a perrynoble.com revamp produced by jblankenship ?

  2. that’s hot – thanks for sharing!

  3. Dude, that is super cool! A nice simplicity to its looks…well done. I also appreciate a way to check out some of the content as I was unable to be there in person.

    The design is pretty cool. Something that lingered in my mind when I was looking through the pics and some of the video was why I decided to play in and attend other places than a church. It’s a weird thing to bring up, because it’s not necessarily a critique, but it often felt like churches were trying to get religious experiences on tape. Perceptions usually hit both people in the face, though. I’m happier now though. I hope you guys continue to connect with others.

  5. Looks great! When do we get Unleashed MP3s?

  6. I’m working on getting some MP3s of the main sessions.
