On this month’s show we continue a conversation started last month with Eric Diamond in Chicago about technology and Freemasonry. This time, we move across the country and visit with our old friend John Liley, the past Grand Master of Utah. We also hear some feedback gathered from the web about one Mason's experience using tech in his Lodge. Overall, another jam-packed episode. So enough with the reading, and start with the listening. This is The Life Masonic.

Jason, The presenters hit the nail on the head with "Keep your websites current and simple". You don't need all the flashy stuff on your site. You don't need a site that appears as if you spent $100's if not $1,000's of dollars to create. You just need a simple site. Don't get too graphic happy. The more graphics you have, the longer the page takes to load. There is another way to keep our Brethren informed. In Oklahoma we have the "OKMasonMail" daily email that we can subscribe to. Each person can email the editor of an upcoming event. The editor will then put all those announcements into an easy to read email that is sent out daily. Here is an example. I hope the formatting stays the same... All names and phone numbers have been edited out. Please make submissions to the newsletter by 4pm on Fridays, and 8pm on other days.
