Club Website Summary:
Last month the topic of a Club website came up. Daniel Karagory spent some time thinking about how a website for the club would work, and
what that could look like and put together a demo. See the links below. The website is hosted on his website system as just a temporary
thing, but he says moving somewhere permanent will be easy.
Having a club website takes some time and effort. People expect websites to be full of accurate, up-to-date information, and that's
tricky. It takes a good writer to do updates to the website and even then, if there is a last-minute change to a meeting time updating a website isn't something to do on a phone. Plus, everybody in the club already gets updates through their emails anyways so Club members wouldn’t be checking the website. It is still important for the website to be up-to-date and keep records of all the meetings that have happened for people who need to catch up and for anybody not yet in the club.
Daniel suggests as a solution that the emails we already use be connected directly to a website. He made a special email account that can be added to the club email list and any emails sent to it will be processed, formatted, and sent directly to a website. With updates for club meeting times already sent to the mailing list, those will end up on the website automatically with no extra work. Any "reply-alls" to those emails will end up on the website as well, including any email attachments like images and documents. So, under his plan, anybody would be able to contribute to the website just by sending an email with anything you want included as a reply-all to any of the club update emails. Members will have to remember that any emails sent to that special address as a reply-all will end up being publicly posted on the website. So, be sure to not include information you don't want public -- if you do send something that you need removed, the website can be manually edited after the fact, so let somebody know quickly.
