			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The staff of the national offices of The Presbyterian Church in Canada gathered this morning to celebrate the season of Advent and the coming of Christmas by decorating the area affectionately called &#8220;the holodeck&#8221; at 50 Wynford Drive. </p>
<p>While I haven&#8217;t yet discovered how this central section of the building acquired this Trek-inspired nickname, I can say that it looks significantly more festive now than it did last week.  Here are some photos of the decorating in progress:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I gave a brief presentation to the staff at the Presbyterian national office about upcoming changes to the <a href="http://presbyterian.ca">denomination website </a>- more on that later. I started with a few interesting numbers related to our web traffic which I thought I&#8217;d quickly share here. These numbers represent traffic from the end of July through yesterday, October 20th, 2008.</p>
<ul>
<li>the site has been visited just over 53,000 times.</li>
<li>almost half of the visitors (48%) came to the site directly, meaning a bookmark, an email link, or typing in the address.
<ul>
<li>Of those, over 80% landed first on the home page</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The next largest group of visitors (31%) came to the site via Google.
<ul>
<li>Of those, 38% again landed first on the home page.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Overall, more than 60% of our visitors reach the homepage first.</li>
</ul>
<p>The point of those numbers was to emphasize the importance of the homepage of this site in particular. A refreshed homepage will go live this week &#8211; perhaps as early as today &#8211; that I hope will help folks find what they&#8217;re looking for more easily at <a href="http://presbyterian.ca">presbyterian.ca</a>.</p>
