开云体育Happy New Year to all, We have had a website for the last 20 years or so.? It has taken several forms and been located different places, with different URLs, domain names.? We have a pretty good one, one of the shortest and easiest to remember : xarc.us The site is WordPress based, meaning it is relatively easy to set up and manage.? It has all the standard, fairly static info about the club.? Home page, calendar, photos, etc.? It also has a Blog, where all types of information can be posted. blog1 of 2?

The last few years it has mostly been used for meeting announcements, other club info.? But we have tended to rely on our email list for most communication. I occasionally have put a few articles there, links, etc, that I felt I didn't want to bother people with an email for.? The last few months I have put quite a few up there.? I'm not sure if anybody has seen them or not (Steve has!).? They may or may not be of any interest, as they have mostly been personal experiences, but they are ham radio related.? Since we haven't had a regular newsletter, and our club is clearly not growing, even shrinking, the website is probably the best way to interact and communicate things that are maybe not important enough for a group email. The good news is this is easy to do, and all can participate.? Everyone who has previously created an account here, I can give author privileges.? If you don't you can create an account.? This is obviously for members, but ex-members, non-members that I know and trust can also be added.? If you have some ham radio related articles, posts, news, anything you would like to add, I would encourage you to participate. I would consider this to be similar to our around the table
portion of our club meetings.? New rig, new antenna, great DX
contact, recent or upcoming contest, construction project?? But
with more detail than we can share as a meeting is winding down. I will try to put together a video on how to log in and create a post.? It is pretty simple, but a video won't hurt.? Stay tuned and keep checking our website.? If you are interest now, I will start giving authoring privileges to current users. Let's start using our website to enhance our XARC community. Brian |
