But Eric, you are supposed to go to every game and keep a scorebook and
upload the score and statistics from your magic cell phone as soon as
the final gun goes off. You are supposed to go to every board meeting,
keep minutes, and upload them as soon as the meeting is adjourned. You
are also supposed to go to every concert, record the concert, and upload
the MP3 file as soon as the last note is played. You are supposed to go
to the district spelling bee and write a web article about the winners
and tell what words they spelled correctly to win. And while you are at
it, you are supposed to read teachers' minds and just know what needs to
be put on the web site before they even tell you. You are supposed to
be the district photographer and have pictures of every thing that goes
on at the school so you can post them on the web site - but make sure
that you know exactly which students are not supposed to have their
pictures on the web site and make sure that they are removed from any
picture that is posted.
C'mon, Slacker............
(Yea, like I do those things.......................)

I tell them that webpages are updated when I am sent information, as I
am normally busy with other duties and cannot spend my time tracking
down Coach X or whatever to get his or her comments on last night's
game. It gets to me, it gets posted. It doesn't get to me, it
doesn't get posted.
This normally leads to the person responsible for the questioned
activity getting an e-mail from said parent, which prompts that person
to give me things to update.

Our page is set up so that we don't get a lot of "dead wood". We
use high
school sports.net <http://sports.net> for our sports schedules and
just link directly to them.
The only complaints we get are "why isn't the September cafeteria
menu up?",
or "why isn't the last school board meeting minutes posted". My
general
response can range from "I don't have the information available
yet to a
rather smart-a#$ed response that lets them know I've got more to
do than
update a cafeteria menu that their kid should've brought home on
paper. I
told one parent last year that I would be glad to show him how to
update the
cafeteria menu and would give him a username and password so he
could log in
to post the updates. The butt chewing was worth it.

Subject: [tech-geeks] Webpage Deadwood
Over the years I have collected many webpages for the school that
I do not
use or are obsolete.
<rant> Unfortunately, my viewers can never remember the URL to our
present
site, so they Google (gotta love Google) and they find pages up to
8 years
old.
What happens then is they click on them and get the 2002 Football
schedule
and then they call the school saying we can't seem to keep our
webpage up to
date.
Personally I think they should have their welfare check or
unemployment
check taken away so they wouldn't have all this spare time.
But hey, that's just my opinion. </rant>
If I delete the deadwood then they will get 404's, which maybe
just as bad,
should I put a re-direct in on all these obsolete pages?
What do you guys do?
