Discover Shiloh Mobile: Events
ShilohMobile.org is the new mobile site of Shiloh Baptist Church of Washington. This site is packed full of information and features for you to explore. So much so, that we’ve decided to give you a guided tour by way of our “Tech Talk” blog posts.Today we’ll take a look at the EVENTS page of the Shiloh Mobile site.
Although the Shiloh Mobile EVENTS page has only two elements, it’s packed full of information about what’s going on at Shiloh.
So let’s start at the top.
The first and main element of the EVENTS page is Shiloh’s infamous Dashboard Display. That’s right! The same dashboard that you see in the lobby at church, and on our parent site shilohbaptist.org, is also on Shiloh Mobile.
The second element of the EVENTS page is probably the most important. Flyers! Unlike our more formal counterpart shilohbaptist.org, we’ve included the actual event flyers on the Shiloh Mobile site; and the app too.
Located below the dashboard display, is a collection of image thumbnails. Those are the flyers. By clicking on any thumbnail you can view the full flyer for that event.
Cool right!
Well that’s all for now. Be sure to continue your own exploration of ShilohMobile.org
Tech Talk: Reply vs Reply All
QUICK TIPWhen to use REPLY vs REPLY ALL
Have you ever been stuck in an email chain that was 20 messages long, and you weren’t even part of the conversation? If so, then you will appreciate the importance of this Tech Talk: Quick Tip.
Use these points as a guide to help you decide if you should send a message using REPLY or REPLY ALL.
- Select REPLY to send a message back to the person who sent you the message. This is similar to a one-on-one conversation.
- Select REPLY ALL to send a message back to every person on the recipient list (or everyone who received the message.) This is similar to a conference call. Anyone who dials into the call, whether 2 or 100 will hear the same message.

Discover Shiloh Mobile: Home
ShilohMobile.org is the new mobile site of Shiloh Baptist Church of Washington. This site is packed full of information and features for you to explore. So much so, that we’ve decided to give you a guided tour by way of our “Tech Talk” blog posts.This week we’ll take a look at the HOME page of the Shiloh Mobile site.
The HOME page is where every website begins. It’s the introduction of sorts to what viewers can expect from the site. The most prominent feature of the Shiloh Mobile home page is the rotating banner. It currently contains graphics with scriptures, event reminders, and of course our Shiloh Mobile DC app announcement (shameless plug). This content will change on occasion so make sure you don’t rush by it too fast. Just a side note, the banner will not take the place of, or function in the same manner as Shiloh’s Dashboard (available under the “Events” tab on shilohmobile.org). The Dashboard is totally different.
Immediately under the rotating banner is the “Verse of the Day”. This section displays a new bible verse every day. After all, we want to “Spread the Word” every chance we get. Feel free to come back every day to see the new scripture.
As you scroll further down the page you’ll see our “New App for Shiloh” intro. If you’ve read our previous Tech Talk posts, this text will seem familiar to you. We thought it was so appropriate that we’d begin our site with it too. This text will eventually change, because the app won’t be new forever.
The final feature on the Shiloh Mobile homepage is a list of ALL the ways you can “Stay Connected” with Shiloh online! Whew! That’s a long list. What does this mean for you? Well, if you’re not on Twitter, then you can follow us on Facebook. If you’re not on Google+, then you can follow us on Instagram. And if you’re not on any social networking sites, then you can always find us on shilohbaptist.org, shilohmobile.org, or download our Shiloh Mobile DC app from Google Play or The App Store (last shameless plug).
That’s all for now. Have fun discovering SHILOH MOBILE!
