Be Like the Internet, Part 2: Peripheral Simplicity Powered by Hub Complexity

This is REALLY important, so please indulge me and read carefully...

Illustration #1 -- Typepad: "Did you create your website, or did someone do it for you?" I hear this question constantly, and the answer is, "I did it." (Bear with me. This is HUGELY important to church planting.) But how did I do it? I am anything but tech savvy, so how did I create my website? The answer: Typepad, a hosted blogging platform that makes designing and maintaining this website/blog unbelievably easy. Yes, I designed my site, but I used Typepad's online tools to do it. Nothing to download. No software to buy. No training needed. And it's cheap. All this power and convenience is hosted on the Typepad server, which I can access from any computer with Internet access. Peripheral simplicity powered by hub complexity. Beautiful!
