Many Friends will know me from my active involvement in the
Quaker world. I've been dubbed the "Quaker Blogfather" for my
Quaker Ranter (
site) blog and my work in pulling together
QuakerQuaker (
site), an online magazine and blogging community with over five hundred members and 10,000 visitors a month. I am also a frequent
Quaker workshop leader and
published writer.
I started
building websites in 1995 with an award-winning
Nonviolence.org hub site and was a social media pioneer when I redesigned its
homepage to a blog format three years later. Before going independent as MartinKelley.com in 2006, I served on the staff of
Friends General Conference (
site) for eight years, where I worked in the
FGC Quaker bookstore and built the
Quakerfinder,
FGC Gathering and
youth ministry sites. I also worked for
Friends Journal (
site) for two years, putting select articles from their
Quaker magazine online every month. Since then I've been privileged to work with
Quaker organizations such as
Friends World Committee for Consultation (
site),
Friends Council on Education (
site) and
Haverford Friends Meeting (
site). I've done some exciting media work with the
Philadelphia Penn Charter School (
site) and built personal sites for well known Friends. I bring our testimony of integrity to every business transaction and when I address topics such as
search engine optimization or
pricing philosophy, I try to do so from a Friends perspective.
