New Website Coming Soon!
A brand new website is currently being created and will be launched later this month! If you have any ideas or suggestions for what you'd like to see put on the site, please share them by leaving a comment below along with your name and email address. The new website will be found here at www.troop3derby.org.
At a bare minimum, it needs an up-to-date event calendar. That would make it useful enough for scouts and parents to actually check it. At the end of every PLC meeting someone needs to be assigned to update the calendar.
I know that WordPress has good plugins for implementing calendars. I'm sure other blog software has equivalents.
Make it easy for everyone to register and contribute. This is critical. Any scout, leader, or parent should have a simple process to get an account and start contributing.
This also extends to site administrators. There should be multiple people with the access and knowledge to keep things running. I'd be happy to be an assistant admin.
Think ahead to when the troop is travelling -- in the past that has been when we've had the most readership. Frequent posts from individual scouts (especially with photos) would be ideal.
