Can
I use these articles in my bulletin/newsletter/email?
Short Answer: Yes.
Long Answer: We have no problem with people using our articles or
images in their publications. However, we do require that you retain
the copyright information with the item. This basically means giving
us proper credit for work we have done.
Additionally, we ask/suggest/request that you tell your readers where
you got the item: Heartlight Magazine (http://www.heartlight.org).
Who
are you guys?
Short Answer: Really nice people.
Long Answer: If you are referring to the organization behind Heartlight,
we are a very few people doing this with very few dollars and very
few hours. Heartlight grew out of Phil Wares weekly radio and
newspaper ministry. Now Heartlight, Inc. is being formed as a non-profit
organization to publish Christian inspirational and educational information,
primarily via electronic format such as the World Wide Web. If it
is Gods will, we will be developing more projects in the near
future.
We invite you to find out more about us in the contributors section. There you will find
basic biographical information on the major contributors.
How
do I download the pictures from the Heart Gallery?
Short Answer: Right click & save.
Long Answer: In most modern browsers, if you position your cursor
over the picture and right-click the mouse, a little pop-up menu appears.
One of the choices is Save Image as or something
similar. Select that, and it asks you where to put it and VOILA! the
image is saved on your local hard drive.
Now, we do ask that if you use the images or print them or whatever
that you retain the copyright information.
Netscape 3.0 b5 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 b2 have a slick
feature for Win95/NT users where you right click on the pictures and
one of the selections is "Set as Wallpaper." When you choose
it, it is automatically converted into .bmp and set as your screen
background. Neato!
Are
there larger versions of Gallery pictureslike posters?
Short Answer: Nope.
Long Answer: Someday there may be. The Heart Gallery has generated
a tremendous amount of interest, and we are open to the possibility
of someday offering reprints of the work. Unfortunately, these pieces
were created specifically for the Web, and are therefore not of a
high enough resolution to print in a large format. If the interest
is there, we can take the time to redo them at higher resolution.
Are
you selling something?
Short Answer: Not Really.
Long Answer: We do offer Christian products in our Store
in order to help support this minstry.
What
happened to last weeks article?
Short Answer: Nothing.
Long Answer: If you scroll down past the new article, you will find
a table of contents pointing to previous articles. We dont send
articles into oblivion, they just get linked from a different spot.
Why
didnt you select my site as Heart Link o the Week?
Short Answer: Relax.
Long Answer: It could be any number of reasons, none of which include
an attempt to insult you. Probably we dont know about it (we
cant be everywhere), or the content wasnt quite right
for our readers, or maybe there was just a more awardable site (in
our humble opinions) that week. Have patience.
Do
I have to visit the site to get the articles?
Short Answer: No.
Long Answer: Using our ultra-handy email distribution list, we send
the text of our weekly updates to a growing number of people who like
the convenience of having the site come to them. Go to this
page to learn a little more and sign up.
What
does Heartlight mean?
Short Answer: Read II Corinthians 4:6.
Long Answer: Heartlight refers to what Paul calls the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ,
that he says God has placed in our hearts. WOW! With that kind of
wattage in you, you cant help but shine! Thats what Heartlight
means.
There are other people using that name for different reasons and for
different activities including a video game and a New Age phenomenon,
but we have nothing to do with those efforts.
Whats
next for Heartlight?
Short Answer: We dont know.
Long Answer: We are exploring a number of possibilities, so stick
around to find out what's next!
Why
havent I heard of you before?
Short Answer: Money (or lack of it, actually)
Long Answer: Heartlight simply hasnt had the funds needed for
a sweeping ad campaign to raise awareness about our site. We are committed
to maintaining this publication as a non-commercial venture and that
has severely limited our ability to advertise. Were pretty much
relying on word of mouth and a few small ads carefully placed.
So you, our valued readers, are our main force. And we could really
use your help. So tell somebody!
