Some ideas come to mind that may be helpful... take them for what they are
worth to you:
1. A STABLE URL for the main entry to the Royal Rangers web site would be
very helpful. The official Royal Rangers web site has had at least three
different URLs since it was created, and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't
kept my links to it all up-to-date. If for some reason you feel the urge to
move or rename it, please provide a redirection page at the old address.
2. Have a place to sign up for an OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS EMAIL LIST, and
run an announce-only (not discussion) mailing list for the purpose of
providing timely and official announcements of training, events, and
helpful information from the national Royal Rangers staff. You could have a
discussion list, too, but that is pretty well covered with
[EMAIL PROTECTED], FCF, Traders, Leaders, etc. If you want to link to
http://rangernet.org/subscribe.htm or embed that form in your own page,
feel free. The best thing you could add, though, would be an official
announcements list that people who don't want the volume of mail RangerNet
generates can get and stay informed. It would be a good place for a
periodic word of encouragement, and a good place to squash rumors.
3. Try your pages out with both Internet Explorer and Netscape, at least. I
got a script error on the current page running Internet Explorer.
4. A place to add Royal Ranger links for various outpost pages, etc., would
be nice.
Again, take these for what they are worth, and may God bless you with
creativity and talent for this. Have fun!
