We are very excited to announce today's release of Welcoming Websites Wizard, version 1.0. Welcoming Websites Wizard is a distribution of the Drupal content management system which is tailored to meet the needs of Unitarian Universalist congregations.

The Wizard builds on our commitment to helping congregations:

1. Welcome newcomers and engage members and friends.
2. Minister to people through the web by providing pastoral resources and building relationships.
3. Make it easy for staff and volunteers to manage the website.

The Wizard includes a number of features that many UU congregation websites need, including:

• Search engine optimization with human-readable URLs
• Rich text editing and inline image insertion
• A wealth of pre-configured content types and content listings, including sermon archives, upcoming services, newsletters, minister profiles and committee pages, and minister blogs
• Support for flexible calendars
• Easy site map administration
• Social bookmarking

And even more exciting functionality is planned for an upcoming release! We will continue to provide updates on the evolution and development of the Wizard as it proceeds.

The Wizard is available in three ways:

• As a Drupal installation profile, at http://drupal.org/project/wwwizard
• As a package containing Drupal 6.10 and all required modules, at http://welcomingwebsites.com/files/wizard.tar.gz
• As a demonstration site, at http://demo.welcomingwebsites.com
