Have you seen www.theooze.com and www.dtour.com.au and would love to have a similar solution for your church community? I have spent the past year developing the theooze.com, allelon.org and created my own Australian site dtour.com.au and can now do the same for you. Unlike some other products advertised, Ecobuilder is a product that is fully customizable and best of all you own the source code. You can have it hosted on an ISP of your choice or I can host it for you to give you a reliable and trouble free site that is easy to manage and update.

Want to know more? Then email me for features and pricing.

I have installed a script that parses the xml feed from DTOUR.net so you could add it to your blog or website, letting your readers know what others are saying around the blogosphere.

It simply gives the top 10 aggregated posts and a link to the specific blog like so....

If you are interested in putting it on your blog let me know... I am trying to gauge the interest, and making sure I have enough bandwidth if the interest is high.

Frank Viola has written an article "WILL THE EMERGING CHURCH FULLY EMERGE? An Invitation for Serious Reflection and Open Dialogue"

I have published it on DTOUR and it seems to be generating some interest.

The XML aggregator I installed to help keep track of the emerging conversation is working well (so far so good). If you have looked at it and said "hey why didn't he put my blog there?" it is either because...

1. Your blog has an ATOM feed probably from Blogger and I haven't been clever enough to figure out the issues with parsing those feeds, so you'll need to use FeedBurner and make sure "Convert Format Burner" is checked. Then go here so you'll now what information I need.

2. I don't know about your blog.

3. I forgot we were friends.

4. I don't like you. (but then again, that isn't true because there isn't anyone I generally dislike)

I have finished installing the aggregator http://www.dtour.net/. Check it out and if you think it is useful help spread the word and tell others about it.

You can also access the full blend of feeds via RSS http://www.dtour.net/xml/dtour.xml
