How to Add a Daily Devotional to My Site

Daily devotionals can help bridge the gap between your faith and daily living.

The Bible can offer you words of encouragement and help you focus on God's word and Christian living. A daily devotional updates daily and will provide you with inspiration to live in accordance with God's word. If you want to refresh your faith and focus on your devotion, you may want to add a daily devotional to your website for friends and family, or even as part of a Christian store.

Instructions

1. Decide where you want to have the daily devotional on your website. Review your website traffic to determine highly trafficked areas of your site so that the devotional can be accessed frequently by visitors to your website.

2. Review potential daily devotionals that you can link to your website, such as Faith Writers Daily Devotional. Read through a few daily devotions to determine the style and whether it is appropriate for your website. Check the Bible passage to make sure it is easy to understand.

3. Open a copy of your website in Dreamweaver or another Web development program.

4. Copy and paste the link or start code into the text of your website. Most daily devotionals have a body tag that you can put in your website so the devotional can update automatically on a daily basis.

5. Make sure the daily devotional works and updates on your website.

Tips & Warnings

• Once the code is entered on your website, your Web page should be updated automatically with the devotional and will not require an update unless the code changes.

• Devotionals often add more content to your pages, so make sure that you have enough room.

• You may increase your search engine ranking by having consistent, fresh content.

• Do not hesitate to research the devotional and the ministry behind it to make sure that the ministry does not conflict with your religious beliefs and that there are no major complaints about the business or organization. This will help you avoid potential conflicts and a loss of visitors to your website.
