Several people have been asking me for a recommendation for web-hosting.
I’m very happy to recommend the company that I use myself. They have the unglamorous but reassuring name of EZPZ and I’ve found them to be very good. They are particularly strong at fast customer service.
Anyone looking for web-hosting for a WordPress site such as that needed to run the new SEC Web Template could look at EZPZ. I’m a fan.

Ooh, you’re in some illustrious company – there are worse places to be than beneath John Barrowman!
Congratulations 🙂
He and I are almost the same age, Ryan. It is why we look so alike.
Made more impressive by the fact that the praepostorial look is presumably, unlike Mr Barrowman’s, all-natural 😉
Mostly natural.
Yes, I’d quite like to be under … sorry, got lost in thought there. Well done, Kelvin, and yes, more church people, please. As long as they spell your name right, that is all that maters ….
I don’t think the paper got it wrong at all. St Mary’s is Glasgow’s Cathedral (that is if we ignore the chapel by the Clyde). The C of S place was a cathedral but not any more – it hasn’t had a cathedra for hundreds of years and so is merely a parish church now (nothing wrong with that). The C of E has done away with provosts (they were the head of the cathedrals which also functioned as parish churches). The boss priest in all the
C of E cathedrals is now called the Dean. And so it should be in SEC because the title ‘provost’ is the designation accorded to the head of toon cooncils.
Yes I know we have deans in the SEC dioceses but they could be retitled as archdeacons which is what (I think) is their function.
As to the pink list…how times have changed….. years ago it would have been called the black list! (sorry!)
Times have indeed changed, Ross. Something which is to be celebrated.
I’ve no desire to be a Dean. Deans in Scotland do something quite different to what I do, and Provost described me nicely. The title of Dean is also used in secular life now too, in education, as is the term Rector.
There are four cathedrals in Glasgow. St Mungo’s, St Luke’s, St Andrew’s and St Mary’s, each no doubt dearly loved by their people.
Archdeacon is a great title tho, suggesting to the layperson that it involves deacons raising one eyebrow and making drily witty comments.
I’d’a thunk you might have been a ‘national treasure’ by now…maybe next year. 🙂
I’m a National Treasure round about this blog. That’ll do for now.
I seem to recall that at Coates Hall back in the very early 1970s the student charged with providing services at the Mission Church in Dean Village was known [tongue very firmly in cheek] as the Archdeacon of the Water of Leith. A resounding title but no gaiters came with it.
Today is Advent Sunday and there are Hot Cross Buns for sale in my local supermarket.
Have spent a little time this week looking for on-line collaboration tools to use with the various committees that I am on. It is hard to find good cheap (ie free) tools. It is even harder persuading everyone on a group to change to on-line working. However, this way of doing things is here to…
Hard to believe that I am chosing Advent hymns once again. Choosing hymns is hard most of the year, but not right now. Advent has good music and some very good hymns, but not many and it only lasts four weeks. They slot in pretty easily.
A good meeting of the Book Club last night, discussing Iris Murdoch's The Bell. I am not sure that we ever decided what the Bell itself represented, if anything, but the conversation along the way was interesting. I was the only man there, as usual. Do men read fiction?Part of the discussion became focussed on…
