State of the Christian blogosphere

The results of the recent Christian blogger survey have been released.
367 Christian bloggers responded with the bulk of their ages in their 30’s. 136 of the respondents, or 37% were between 31 and 40 years old.
Twentysomethings made up 24% of the bloggers.
One of the most impressive statistics in the survey was that 128 respondents were “senior pastors,” the largest group of the survey. Second was “associate pastor/minister” with 77. “Layperson/church member” with 67. Another 42 listed “church staff.”
I wonder if those results had anything to do with where the survey was advertised. The survey was sponsored by Church Communications Pro as well as Rick Warren’s Ministry Toolbox. If it had been advertised elsewhere I wonder if the results would have been different.

According to some smarter than me IT folks, using a white background on a website sucks up more wattage than using a black background. I would assume that that’s the same as using a word processor with a white page/background all day. Mark Ontkush suggests that if Google were to change their code and present their home page on a black background it could save $75,000 worldwide.
To alleviate the issue, Ontkush redesigned his website with an energy efficient color scheme. Not a bad idea. Maybe I should try the same thing with SSL 3.0.
