Behind the scenes at “Is there a God?”

A few wry observations about what people look for on “Is there a God?” and how I try to keep the customer satisfied.

In a hurry?

It’s a rush-hour world for many of us, and the online world is especially busy. So much to read, so little time! So you can read 1-minute summaries of some of the most popular pages on this site, to see if you want to read more, or not.

Making this site more mobile friendly

This page is for those interested in Wordpress coding, and shows how I created a child theme and a new page template and redesigned this site to load faster and be more mobile-friendly.

All change – because the world is changing

If you’ve visited this website before, you may be noticing that it’s looking a little different. In the off-chance that you may be interested in why the change, here’s why.
