What are the purposes of a GKM account?
An account on GKM will be used for various purposes (most of which are not yet implemented).
Currently, with an account on GKM, you will be able to subscribe to email notification of new blog posts from Dr. Stephen Jones.
In the near future, an account on GKM will allow you to purchase semesters in the Burning Bush International Bible Institute (BBIBI).
Some future plans for account features on GKM include:
- Personalization / Customization (example: Activation and deactivation of certain features/content, such as Sidebar content) on GKM.
- Subscribe for email notification of Local Events, and latest FFI.
- Ability to comment on pages/blog posts (This will be limited to BBIBI Students only and will cost extra).
- User Forums (This will be limited to BBIBI Students only and will cost extra).
Regarding Comments and User Forums: Due to previous experience, our view of user interaction has been seasoned to the point that we know we can't just open things wide open to just anybody and everybody. We found that there are always troublemakers; as a result we have been looking at ways to weed that group out while creating new value to serious site users and students. It's not an easy balance to achieve. Our thoughts right now are that this kind of functionality will only be made available to people who are serious enough to actually subscribe to become a BBIBI Student. We will elaborate more on this as things develop.
Please note that these are subject to change, and some may be subscription-based.
