How To... Submit Info About Your Chapter Your chapter will need to designated one person to be the "go-between" with the webmaster and will have the title of Chapter Webster. The Webster needs to be a computer literate person, not a web maven, but someone who understands how to do attachments and put topics into complete packages. As Webmasters, we will format and upload regular topics on a monthly basis for each chapter. For instance, the chapter newsletter, photos of the Show n Tell as a monthly group. Ideally, we would like to do this work in a single session, so we ask that the Chapter Webster collects the info and bundles it into a complete topic rather than sending it in dribs and drabs. We generally start on update material as soon as we can. Often we will have updated your chapter website with info from an e-mail from you only to find a few hours later that you have sent more and we don't even know if that's all there will be. So here is how we want you to send your info so we will know what to expect and when we have received all of it. By doing the e-mails this way, even if we only receive 1 of the e-mails we will get back to you to tell you that we are missing some material. For instance if your monthly update information will be sent in 2 e-mails, the 1st being 6 photos and the 2nd being the Minutes then your two e-mails should look like the following: Example: E-Mail 1 ( sending the 6 photos in this e-mail) Your Name 6- photos of Show and Tell Example: E-Mail 2 ( sending the Minutes in this e-mail) Your Name 6- photos of Show and Tell We will also format and upload information that requires prompt attention, special notices etc. that happen on a pop-up basis, but everything can't be a pop-up or we will go nuts trying to keep up with it. We prefer to receive files in Word(2000) ".doc" and also ".txt .rtf " formats. We also can use material that is simply typed into a standard e-mail. Although we can upload ".pdf" format documents, we cannot link through them so we suggest that you do not use that format. To add a Title or Comment to your photos, just use the Windows "save as.jpg" command, where the name you use for the photo depicts the subject of the photo, for example... Mary Smiths Patchwork Quilt.jpg Photos may be bunched together in a zip file if that is easier for you. If you are updating officers (or such), please provide the Officer(s) Title and name of the new person(s) in a simple list as we can't "go hunting" for the changes and wind up missing some of them. Normally, information you send in for the website will be placed on the website within 24 hours. Proofreading is your job, we simply Copy/Paste the info you send in. Proofreading Corrections takes 2 weeks. EACH time you submit information for the website you MUST provide your name, phone number and the your Chapter name. Getting started...
