Hollie,
I feel the same way. I've been the web manager of our group for 7
or 8 years, with no-one willing to learn and take over. We're using
homestead.com which hosts our site and provides software that really
reduces web building to 'cut and paste' like in Word. People are
still afraid to try!
I don't know how to do anything else to build a website, and I'm not
very familiar with the wikis and facebook yet. I wish there was a way
to learn more about those.
I belong to another group that does monthly meetings but also has a
Yahoo group for emails, and most of our communication and planning is
done that way. I tried to get people in our branch to sign up for a
group but most of them said no! So each officer, project chair, and
IG coordinator has to keep up an email distribution list. Any idea
how to get the idea of email groups across to people who use email
all the time??

Hi Nancy,
i have been waiting to see another reply to your email before I
chimed in, so thank you Sally. So sorry you will not be at
Convention. I will be there and plan to be at the SIG meeting on
Thursday.
A comment on Sally's concerns. I used to get discouraged knowing
that many of our members do not take advantage of the national and
state websites, but I always keep in mind that our members are not
the only reason for their existence--potential members, educating the
general population, informing our guest speakers about our
organization and a myriad of other valid reasons are what keeps me
going. And, at every opportunity, I turn a question in a "teachable
moment" to not only supply the member's answer with a direct link,
but also to show them the step by step process involved so that next
time they can find the information for themselves.
As for Nancy's questions as to becoming an official entity, it
sounds like the time has come. As for groups, I have no idea where I
would belong. I still post using MS Front Page 2003 and have no idea
as to how to convert to anything else. In MA we have been searching
for someone to come forward to become web manager, but so far I am
the glue holding things together. I always feel a little lost in
this group since I am not a techie and anything I know is self-taught
out of necessity, not desire. I would like to know if there are any
other neophytes in the group and perhaps we should set up a
one-on-one mentoring program so that we "dummies" (and I use the term
as in the popular book series, not in any derogatory way) would feel
comfortable asking questions. I always feel I do not know enough to
ask. I have to say that when I have asked a question, it was always
answered graciously by someone in this group or someone from the
Social Media Task Force. I think all of this was a very long winded
way of asking, "How do I find a replacement?"
And, Nancy, I would like to find out more about using WordPress.
Is it free? I know that you have extolled its virtues for years, but
I guess you should keep right on going and someday I might catch on.
Thank you for everything you have done for this group and more. I
look forward to seeing you in Washington.

Hi, all.
I hope you've noticed that there's a Webmanagers Special Interest
Group scheduled for 4:30-5:30 on Thursday, June 16 at Convention.
This will be the 7th convention where the subscribers to this list
have had a chance to meet face to face.
So who's going to be there?
What would you like to put on the agenda (aside from "meet and
greet", of course)?
My topics:
- Is it time to look at our becoming an official "entity" of AAUW?
As far as I know, no such entity has been granted recognition, but
they are described in the current AAUW bylaws and policies. I was
part of the "new structure" discussions that led up to the new 2009
bylaws, and each time this idea of "communities that aren't
'branches'" came up, I thought of webmanagers as an example. This
might help with the problem of new webmanagers having a hard time
finding that this support network actually exists.
- Should we look at creating subgroups of this list (e.g. WordPress,
SiteWise -- maybe on Facebook?) to support those who are running sites
on similar platforms.
Even if you're not going to be able to make it to Convention, do
chime in with your comments on the future of this list and its
community of subscribers. Historically we have provided notes after
the SIG meeting to document the discussions.
Thanks!

About this list: formed in 1999, this list has served as a way to
connect volunteer webmanagers for AAUW branch and state sites. After
the 2001 convention, a number of people subscribed who were concerned
about general AAUW IT issues. After the 2009 convention, attendees at
IT/Social Media focused workshops were also subscribed. If you're no
longer interested in the list, please follow the unsubscribe link
below. If you know someone else who'd like to subscribe, please have
them write (*not* me). My role here is as one of the volunteers. My
only claim to fame is that I was webmanager for the first branch AAUW
web site linked from aauw.org [4] -- back in 1996 or so.

Nancy,
I'm will be at convention, but hadn't realized that a Webmanagers
meeting would be on the Special Interest Group schedule, so thank you
for this. We're flying in that morning, so I hope to make it to the meeting.
I would be very interested in our becoming an official entity of AAUW,
as I was running our Local Branch website for over a year before I even
knew this list, or any means of communicating with others in my position
within Branches, existed. I have very much appreciated this group since,
even if I don't chime in often.
Regards,

Nancy,
If I attend enough of these meetings, the information will possibly stick!
Seriously, thanks for keeping the webmanagers info line and for bringing us
together at convention.
I will be there at the meeting and will make a concerted effort to get
myself inspired to re-do and update our branch website. Even better, get a
facebook page going.

Am taking this opportunity to reach out to all of you: I am looking for a
roommate for the Convention. I have already booked a room with two double
beds at the Renaissance for Wednesday through Saturday nights (i.e.,
checking in on Wednesday and checking out on Sunday). If you know of anyone
looking to share a room, please pass on my name/phone, etc. Thanks so much!

I can tentatively confirm that Internet access will be available during the web
managers SIG Thursday, June 16. This will make it not only a great opportunity
for meet and greet, but also a hands-on opportunity to assist one another with

Hollie,
I feel the same way. I've been the web manager of our group for 7 or 8 years,
with no-one willing to learn and take over. We're using homestead.com which
hosts our site and provides software that really reduces web building to 'cut
and paste' like in Word. People are still afraid to try!
I don't know how to do anything else to build a website, and I'm not very
familiar with the wikis and facebook yet. I wish there was a way to learn
more about those.
I belong to another group that does monthly meetings but also has a Yahoo group
for emails, and most of our communication and planning is done that way. I
tried to get people in our branch to sign up for a group but most of them said
no! So each officer, project chair, and IG coordinator has to keep up an
email distribution list. Any idea how to get the idea of email groups across
to people who use email all the time??

Hi Nancy,
i have been waiting to see another reply to your email before I chimed in, so
thank you Sally. Â So sorry you will not be at Convention. Â I will be there
and plan to be at the SIG meeting on Thursday.
A comment on Sally's concerns. Â I used to get discouraged knowing that many of
our members do not take advantage of the national and state websites, but I
always keep in mind that our members are not the only reason for their
existence--potential members, educating the general population, informing our
guest speakers about our organization and a myriad of other valid reasons are
what keeps me going. Â And, at every opportunity, I turn a question in a
"teachable moment" to not only supply the member's answer with a direct link,
but also to show them the step by step process involved so that next time they
can find the information for themselves.
As for Nancy's questions as to becoming an official entity, it sounds like the
time has come. Â As for groups, I have no idea where I would belong. Â I still
post using MS Front Page 2003 and have no idea as to how to convert to anything
else. Â In MA we have been searching for someone to come forward to become web
manager, but so far I am the glue holding things together. Â I always feel a
little lost in this group since I am not a techie and anything I know is
self-taught out of necessity, not desire. Â I would like to know if there are
any other neophytes in the group and perhaps we should set up a one-on-one
mentoring program so that we "dummies" (and I use the term as in the popular
book series, not in any derogatory way) would feel comfortable asking
questions. Â I always feel I do not know enough to ask. Â I have to say that
when I have asked a question, it was always answered graciously by someone in
this group or someone from the Social Media
Task Force. Â I think all of this was a very long winded way of asking, "How
do I find a replacement?"
And, Nancy, I would like to find out more about using WordPress. Â Is it free?
 I know that you have extolled its virtues for years, but I guess you should
keep right on going and someday I might catch on.
Thank you for everything you have done for this group and more. Â I look
forward to seeing you in Washington.

Hi, all.
I hope you've noticed that there's a Webmanagers Special Interest Group
scheduled for 4:30-5:30 on Thursday, June 16 at Convention. This will be the
7th convention where the subscribers to this list have had a chance to meet
face to face.
So who's going to be there?
What would you like to put on the agenda (aside from "meet and greet", of
course)?
My topics:
- Is it time to look at our becoming an official "entity" of AAUW? As far as I
know, no such entity has been granted recognition, but they are described in
the current AAUW bylaws and policies. I was part of the "new structure"
discussions that led up to the new 2009 bylaws, and each time this idea of
"communities that aren't 'branches'" came up, I thought of webmanagers as an
example. Â This might help with the problem of new webmanagers having a hard
time finding that this support network actually exists.
- Should we look at creating subgroups of this list (e.g. WordPress, SiteWise
-- maybe on Facebook?) to support those who are running sites on similar
platforms.
Even if you're not going to be able to make it to Convention, do chime in with
your comments on the future of this list and its community of subscribers.
 Historically we have provided notes after the SIG meeting to document the
discussions.
Thanks!
-Nancy
About this list: formed in 1999, this list has served as a way to connect
volunteer webmanagers for AAUW branch and state sites. After the 2001
convention, a number of people subscribed who were concerned about general AAUW
IT issues. After the 2009 convention, attendees at IT/Social Media focused
workshops were also subscribed. If you're no longer interested in the list,
please follow the unsubscribe link below. If you know someone else who'd like
to subscribe, please have them write webmas...@aauw.org (*not* me). Â My role
here is as one of the volunteers. My only claim to fame is that I was
webmanager for the first branch AAUW web site linked from aauw.org -- back in
1996 or so.
