LUSA WEBMASTER WEBSITE NEWS FOR 4TH QUARTER 2009 

 

    Web pages "look" is being changed since the last quarter.  More search engine placement has been done on more pages.

     See website timeline page for further details.

 

     Donauschwaben/German Blaskapelle Section Added

 

     This was suggested at the President's Meeting in Detroit at the Landestreffen 2009.  Cleveland and St. Louis Blaskapelle were the first two to be introduced.

     ASCII CODES FOR GERMAN LETTERS added to "Help" Page

     This was done in response to a number of website visitors asking about process of typing umlauted vowels.

 

     "Donauschwaben Tracht" pages moved from "Home Page" to "Resources and Internet Links" section of website.

 

     This was done due to lack of input updates and dwindling interests.  Since website is growing exponentially, this will help un-clutter and simplify the home page.  Contact the webmaster ( tcthornton1@sbcglobal.net ) if you know of anyone willing and able to take on this project.

     "Internet Links" section renamed "Resources and Internet Links"      With the sudden addition of many author pages and other "resource" items such as recipes, culture sites, etc, this was done to make the site more intuitive and allow the visitor to search and navigate the site easier.
     Format of Combined Clubs Calendar Page Changed.      Designed to be easier to read and update.  Will start January 2010.
   

     Newsletter and Web Site Section authors are welcomed.

     Contact the LUSA Webmaster for further details.

Webmaster (Landesverband Website) Recommendations April 2009

 

1. Always give information as it is to be displayed.

2. Notify Landesverband webmaster (LWM) ASAP of website changes (URL, calendar, etc.)

3. Specifically notify (LWM) of who, at each club, is responsible for each club’s activities, corrections, and participation, etc.

4. All Donauschwaben Club links on each site needs to be kept current (report to LWM monthly?)

5. Notify (LWM) of all officer changes ASAP.

6. Submit current photos of all LUSA officers for placement on national website. Can be emailed or mailed for scanning; submit similar to passport type of image 2x2 .

7. All LUSA officer emails or telephone numbers need be kept current to (LWM).

8. LUSA secretaries need to keep (LWM) updated.

9. Hosting Vereins need to keep (LWM) updated for events and related information, etc.

10. All LUSA member clubs need to keep LWM updated on current individual club webmasters and their email addresses..

11. Each club WM should notify (LWM) and other LUSA clubs if links need to be updated.

12. Always address each item in correspondence, so as not to keep them "up in air". If responses are to be deferred to later date, indicate this as so with expected time frame.

13. Recommend each LUSA member club webmaster place webmaster contact information in a readily accessible area on its own website. (Preferably on each page and "clickable")

14. Recommend LUSA presidents establish a consensus as to how "all" of the Landesverband der Donauschwaben, USA member clubs should structure their Donauschwaben Clubs Internet links page.

Recommendations for Article/Image Submission to L-USA Website

1. MS Word or MS Works for word processed documents.

2. Sender to do viral check before sending material/files to (LWM).

3. Send images in Jpeg format

     (Keep resolution low (but good enough) to minimize memory usage. They need to be kept within monitor field size for best and easiest presentation.  Try to keep picture file size below 500K.  The server will not accept large picture files and will shut down.  Resolution will still be good enough for the web page.)

4. Send information, images, etc. as attachments and not in body of email message, if possible.

5. Be as current and early as possible (timely manner) to allow for (LWM) time to place on website. Don’t wait until the last minute?!

6. Do spell-check, etc. before submission to (LWM).

7. Title information or article as it needs to be displayed before submission.

8. Notify (LWM) if any information already submitted needs to be modified for correctness, currentness, clarifications, etc.

9. If possible, try to submit all articles in English and in German!

10. These recommendations are listed on the L-USA website on the "Help" page.
