The Twelve Gates News May 2016

The Twelve Gates News May 2016

A quick latest news update for The Twelve Gates for May 2016 covering the Website, Twitter and You Tube and other new associated websites.

The Website: All change at The Twelve Gates Website. Now has a new look with a different navigation and more items in the right sidebar that lead you to different places on the website or to the other Twelve Gates Websites over at Wordpress or Tumblr.  The old design was not going down well with Google at all but this new one seems to be getting the thumbs up from the Google Bots.

All the personal stuff now has links at the bottom of the website along with contact details. This new design is currently just in a basic text format, but under the hood has the potential and options contained within it to totally transform the look and feel of The Twelve Gates website, which will make it more visually attractive, even easier to get around for new and existing website visitors. This is still being played around with at present. The website may just stay as it is mainly text, or it maybe the new turbocharged in your face format may be adopted. The new design is fully tablet and mobile friendly and compatible.

Post count is being increased from 1 a week to 2 a week (excluding after bank holidays). Articles come out Thursday or Friday. Looking at a possible doubling again in the months ahead if there is increased interest with some added news, items produced here as opposed to via external sources!

Social Media share buttons are now located at the bottom of each place if you wish to share the Article on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Reddit etc. Also  5 related posts appear at the bottom of each article as well either random or random and related for further reading.

YouTube:

Changes over at the Twelve Gates YouTube Channel. The focus from now on will be more on topic related videos that run as backups to the main Blog article over at The Twelve Gates website. These topic focused videos are getting many times more views than the monthly news vids. Not sure whether it is the videos and topics themselves or the music, maybe both. Either way some videos are getting a couple of thousand views in a short period of time (many more than the monthly news vids) without any promotion on my part or via You Tube, which for a new channel is not bad at all.

Therefore it has been decided to drop the Monthly Prophetic News Watch. A couple of hundred views over a number of weeks for these videos means a thumbs down, hence why there has been no May 2016 Prophetic News Watch. Still looking at doing some different formats for videos maybe some commentary on the latest news, or maybe Prophetic News on a Weekly basis as most of the competition out there seem to do. Watch for further news and developments on that.

Updates at You Tube come out late on Friday or early on Saturday.

Twitter:

The Twelve Gates Twitter is now moving pretty much away from the mainstream media and featuring more alternative news (as basically that's what The Twelve Gates website is) from respected sources, but the mainstream media still features as and when, just less so than in the past. A lot of the subject matter that this website is interested in, doesn't even register at times with the mainstream media, but is incredibly interesting none the less and is fact not fiction. Quantity of Tweets remain the same a dozen or so maybe more when busy, 3 or 4 when it's quiet and any number in between.

Tumblr and Wordpress are still in their formative stages. Have also recently registered at Pinterest. Again this is another social media account that is in it's formative stages of development.Still deciding what to do with it?
