| This is a plea for help as well as an open invitation to BYC members and memberships to get involved in BYC's Web effort. The work on the Club's Web site has recently increased dramatically due to the posting of the Minutes and various documents and the needed maintenance of a much larger number of pages. Potentially, every member can help, since the tasks are incredibly diverse, ranging from the needed critique of the Web site by a new member seeking certain BYC information to the many possible contributions of an old-timer who is sitting on mountains of information which could help fill some of the many gaps which presently exist in historical and archival part of the Web site. Some computer skills are useful but not absolutely necessary as long as you have an interest in learning a few simple steps on the Information Highway and this (not so) "new" technology called the "Internet". | ||||
 |
If you like what you see on the present BYC Web site, you may want to participate, apply what you already know or learn some useful new skills. If, on the other hand, you feel that BYC's Web site needs some work and improvements, here is your chance to have an obvious and widely accessible impact! | |||
| Just because the present BYC Web page is produced and maintained by only one or two people (plus a number of highly appreciated regular or occasional photographers, reporters and columnists) does not mean that the total effort could not be divided into some fairly neatly separated tasks. Thus, if you think that "HTML" stands for "Have the Time of My Life" you are, of course, correct but may want to start your Web assistance with some functions which do not involve HTML (=Hyper Text Mark-up Language). | ||||

The most fundamental and important function and a great first step into
Web related work is the very open-ended chores of critique and
proofreading.
This vital feedack to us Web creatures consists at least of these tasks:

Obviously, you would have to work yourself into this a bit. But since the
Web site is up and accessible anywhere, I do not have to send you
anything (Believe it or not, I usually put pages up before they are
thoroughly proofread beyond a superficial look) Your benefit would be
(beyond getting "service points" for this) to get to know the Club
through the Web site.
You would send me your findings by Email giving me the URL (Web address)
of the offending page, paragraph or other locational identifiers. I will
then make the corrections.
What I am hoping, of course, is that you might get interested in Web
design and eventually can help in somewhat more sophisticated ways....
(I would have lots of books to help you...)
As a start, it would be good if you try to find your way around the site and begin to understand the "structure" of the site. You find the major directories and entry/search pages across the top of the Home page. More later. Do not hesitate to ask questions!!! |
