In recognition of the site’s launch today, I thought it would be appropriate to share 5 ways that you can get the most out of From Bits to Bites & Windshields to Worship (B2W2). Read on for my suggestions …
1. Read it
Ok, this one might seem a bit obvious. But sometimes it’s good to start with the obvious things. Wander around the site a bit, get a feel for not only what’s here already, but what might be yet to come. Check out the about page for a little more insight into what I’m trying to do here. I know the topics might seem a bit disjointed but hey, if we’re honest isn’t life a little disjointed?
2. Bookmark it
Http://www.mattmckimmy.com/blog . Right click and “bookmark this link …” (if you’re using Firefox at least.) Of course you could use any number of methods to set up a bookmark to this, your new favorite site. Or you could do one better and …

4. Leave a Comment

So speak your mind, question my sanity, grace us with your wisdom, and make your mark in the comments section at the end of each post. You don’t even have to register. Unless, of course, you want to …
5. Register
Why register? Well, it makes leaving comments a lot easier for one. Plus it helps to create consistency. Once you enter in your information once it will appear exactly the same on each comment you post. And if you use an email address you’ve associated with a gravatar that will show up too. How cool is that?
Well I hope these suggestions give you some ideas of how you can get the most out of this site. I figure that if I’m going to take the time to write this stuff I mind as well try and make it useful for people, right? Here’s to hoping you’ll get something out of your time here …
