Follow Me on Twitter!
Sacred Destinations has joined the Twitter revolution! You can now follow me at:
twitter.com/sacreddest
Since I haven't been able to find enough time for the blog these days but do like to share news and updates, Twitter's 140-character mini-posts seem like a great solution.
My "tweets" will be a mix of Sacred Destinations updates and features, news related to religious travel and art, and occasional randomness. I promise not to bore you with what I had for lunch.
Hope to see you there!

Update and New Feature
While neglecting this blog over the past few months (sorry about that), I've been hard at work converting my old website to a snazzier new version. It looks similar to the old one, but operates a bit more dynamically using a database.
It's a long project, since I have over 1,200 articles and a couple hundred cities to convert! I'm also taking the opportunity to update and improve many of the articles along the way, and occasionally pausing to add some new ones, so it may be a couple more months before I'm done.
But the new database is already enabling new features, including a fun one I added today. It's nothing too fancy, but it displays a random selection of sacred sites from around the world every time you refresh your browser - I recommend it for aimless surfing on your lunch hour. You can take it for a spin here:

Hope you like it! There will be more new features to come, and we're planning some great trips for 2010 that will be documented here as well. Now I'd better get back to work...
