12 Cities | 12 Conversations12 Cities | 12 Conversations

NEW: 12 Cities | 12 Conversations is part of the Lausanne movement, and they are traveling across the US to begin a discussion with some of the church's best thinkers and leaders to inspire all Christ followers to respond to global concerns in today's fast-changing world.

The conversations will culminate in October when delegates from the American church join 4,000 other leaders from 200 countries in Cape Town, South Africa, for the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization to address the global challenges facing the church and our mission.

Scottyman Media! developed and published this blog to carry the conversations at a central hub online. The blog is built on the powerful Wordpress platform. It includes video posts, a Twitter feed and a sharp modern design.


ZhuZhuInfo.comZhuZhuInfo.com

Most people have heard of last year's hottest Christmas toy for kids, the Zhu Zhu Pets, well Scottyman Media decided to jump in the middle of the action! This toy's explosive popularity leads us to believe that it will see much success in the year(s) to come, long beyond the 2009 Christmas frenzy.

We used the powerful blogging platform Wordpress to develop a fully functional website and news blog, complete with an online Amazon store embedded. This site is called ZhuZhuInfo.com. Although we've submitted the url to the major search engines, it still takes time for them to index new sites; so a lot of effort was put into the handy "sharing" tools that allow people to forward the site to a friend or post articles on major web servies.

So have a look at ZhuZhuInfo.com and pass the link around! Thanks.
