If you're new here, read more about the More Good Foundation. We help members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon church) share their beliefs on the Internet. Learn more about what Mormons believe or talk with Mormons at LDS.net.

The More Good Foundation is pleased to announce the location of the next Webmasters Roundtable. It will be held on BYU campus in room 185 of the McKay Building, on Feb. 16 at 4:00 PM.

Our monthly Roundtable meeting is an opportunity for local webmasters, bloggers, and techies to hear about and discuss issues related to the Church on the Internet. We’ve been pleased to have many participants at past meetings, including BYU employees, owners and employees of local Internet companies, and interested individuals. We’ve also been excited to have several Church employees attend, including Ron Schwendiman, Manager of Internet Operations for the Church; Steve Anderson of FamilySearch.org; and Larry Richman, Project Coordination Director, who at our last meeting spoke about the Church’s Internet strategy and upcoming improvements to LDS.org.

This month we’re excited to hear from Tom Dalton, Director of Consulting Services at 10x Marketing (now Innuity), a local Internet marketing company. Tom is a search engine optimization expert who will discuss tactics for improving the search engine rankings of your site. Even if you’re familiar with SEO, this is a great opportunity to hear which tactics really work, which “myths” don’t work, and to sharpen your skills.

WHAT: More Good Foundation Webmasters Roundtable, with guest lecture by SEO expert Tom Dalton
WHEN: Thursday, Feb. 16, at 4:00 PM
WHERE: Room 185 of the McKay Building (MCKB), located just west of the Kimball Tower on BYU campus

We look forward to seeing you all there!

We are living in very exciting times, and it’s never too late to get involved. Many of you already know about the upcoming meeting for the More Good Foundation. The Church is sending Larry Richmond, who is in charge of coordinating all of the activities on the Church Web sites. He will be talking about how and why the Church uses the Internet, and he will also talk about the Church’s future plans related to the Internet. (It should be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves.) All are invited to come and learn what the LDS community can do to help.

The meeting will be held this Thursday, December 15, at 2:00pm in room 151 of the Tanner Building on the BYU campus. There will be plenty of room, so feel free to bring your friends and anyone interested. Refreshments will be served!
