It is a moderated list and I am currently out of the office, sending messages to the full list as I have web access. Thanks for your patience over the next few days. Thanks also for all of your comments to Joyceâs question. We know that some content is still missing from the national site and other content we may have consciously decided not to migrate but are learning from your feedback that is still valuable. Please keep the feedback coming. I will go through the comments when I return to the office next week and prioritize getting the website updated as soon as possible. We are developing a âWebsite Users Guideâ to help answer questions and concerns about how the new site functions. Your feedback about what is most important and how the new site impacts your roles as branch and state leaders will go a long way to helping us make the tool useful. It will mostly consist of web-based articles and short videos that can also be shared at branch and state events. Is this type of tool is beneficial to you all or is some other format easier to share with members? Thanks again for your feedback.

Patsy Quick From: Caroline Pickens Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 2:35 PM To: web managers Subject: Re: what do branches want to know The most complaints I am getting are that they can no longer find things in the same way and are unable to figure out where something is that was on the old website. We are also finding that some things on the old website are not on the new one, including the guidelines for branch and state records management and archives. Supposedly IT is getting those back on there again--then the trick will be how to find them. So many terms changed from before that members can't always figure out where to start. Getting into the MSD seems to present a challenge until they are shown specifically how to log in and get to it. It was never easy, and the detailed instructions we gave members before now need to be replaced with new instructions.

Also, I'm thinking it might be important to consider technological level of expertise of potential how-to session audience--beginning, intermediate, advanced. It seems that there may need to be more than one how-to session on the new national website so Peggy Wood-Clark's Website User's Guide appears an excellent vehicle to accomplish this ongoing learning task for all of us regarding this AAUW's most comprehensive and amazing new website.

I think the traffic has dropped off dramatically, and maybe it's time to test things *without* moderation. Peggy, would that make sense to the powers that be? While we have other places that some of us gather (various Facebook groups, maybe some LinkedIn groups, maybe new forums for site resources and/or WordPress in general), email is still the one tool that we're sure all the web managers participate in. If we could get an automated message sent to the list every month or two about how to subscribe and unsubscribe, perhaps the rest of the messages could just go through without needing the attention of the staff.
