Electronic channels of grace

Why do a blog on our website?  My idea is that a website like ours is somewhat static – apart from the news section it inevitably does not change a great deal, so after a person has looked at it once, there may be no great incentive for that person to look back at it again.  The blog of course does change and in theory at least it provides a reason for people to return to the website.  Nowadays by the way the website is a very important entry point for newcomers to the Seculars - we regularly receive inquiries about the Seculars from people who have accessed the website to find out about us.  Depending on their geographical location we refer them to the Regional Representative in whose area they live or to the president of their local OCDS community as appropriate.  These electronic means can be major channels of grace.
