LM Websites and LM Blogger are testing modular publishing for creators, churches and organizations: simple page blocks, live previews, hosted posts, SEO, RSS and connected LM projects.

Beta test updateThis article documents what is working now, what it can do for users, and the workflow we want real testers to pressure-test.

What LM Websites can do

  • Build pages from focused content blocks instead of a blank technical canvas.

  • Create Home, About, Contact, photos, ministry and project pages.

  • Reorder pages and navigation without rebuilding the site.

  • Preview the hosted site as you work.

  • Connect websites to Events, Tracker boards, Blogs, Podcasts and other LM projects.

What LM Blogger can do

  • Write hosted posts with cover images, categories and tags.

  • Give each article its own public URL.

  • Add search/social descriptions and structured publishing metadata.

  • Provide RSS for distribution and future automation.

  • Support signed-in member conversation without exposing private working projects.

What we want testers to test

  • Can a non-designer build a clear page without needing design vocabulary?

  • Can you change text naturally without fighting the editor?

  • Do page blocks take advantage of the available space?

  • Does mobile navigation stay simple?

  • Can you publish an article and find it again through search, tags and RSS?
