For your information, Kim and I are both doing Sharing the Gospel Online
church-service missions. Nice to see him after all these years. Among other things Kim has created facebook
pages and googleplaces listings for Brazil Institutes of Religion. He is now assisting Richard Robbins, our Sharing the Gospel Online supervisor, launch a
Portuguese-language blog. This is what they do:
"We’ve been working on the new
Brazil site on
LDS.org . The main purpose of setting up a blog is to point searches
to the Church’s official website for Brazil. Doing that improves the
rankings of the Church’s official site.
"Getting traffic to the Portuguese blog is somewhat of a secondary
priority. For those who do visit, we want to have useful and enjoyable
content. Since I [Richard] like to talk about religion and politics,
I’ll be writing articles about those subjects as well as others that
interest me. If I put enough blog entries on that site (10-20), it will
begin to get some recognition and authority from Google, and I can then
pass that authority to the Church’s official sites."
Richard and Kim's invitation to you Portuguese speakers/writers:
"You can sign up on this site to blog in Portuguese and help our new
Brazil website:
