a little picture I am a South Jersey Friend and dad with a love out of outreach and a passion for looking afresh at Friends' testimonies, language and practices. I am the publisher of Quaker Quaker, a community site for Friends, and write about online publicity, organizing and design on my business site at MartinKelley.com.

About Martin

Hello everyone. I'm a Friend and web developer living in South Jersey, father to sons Theo and Francis.

I was very involved in pacifist publishing (book and online) in my 20s and worked for a couple of well known Quaker organizations in my 30s. My major publication these days is the QuakerQuaker, which launched in 2006. Nowadays I'm building websites for journalists, small businesses, schools and a smattering of activists. I go into more detail on my biography and current work over on my design site MartinKelley.com.

QuakerRanter is my free-for-all blog. There's a lot of posts about Quakers and also about cool places I've explored in the South Jersey. But I let myself talk about whatever I want and my post on baby naming is actually one of the most visited on the site! Fellow Friends mystified or offended by the "Ranter" title should read "We're all Ranters Now. I want to keep the spirit of a blog with this site and post on any topic that flits across my mind.

I keep contact information current over on MartinKelley.com, which has email, phone, IM and every other kind of crazy communication method listed!
