Hi everyone! I updated each of the “contact us” forms for new names and email addresses. Each of you (President, Newsletter, Book Sales, Membership) should have received a test message from me via email.
As part of my online cleanup, I have removed old versions of the Strong Family Association of America web sites which are still online. We had the site as it existed in 2008 for reference, and we had the original SFAA Pages created by Martha Strong. I have moved both offline.
The problem was that each of those areas looked like a real web site — because they were! There was no way to tell that you were NOT looking at the current information, and this has been causing confusion.
Over the coming months, I will be placing Martha Strong’s SFAA Pages back online, but in such a way that it clearly is a historical artifact rather than current Association material. Everything from 2008 is already online with the current site.
I still have updates to do related to our 2012 SFAA Annual Reunion. I need to update the Officers and Directors, update the Books & Memorabilia Catalog, update the Contact Us forms, and answer my email. That’s my plan for this upcoming week!
I will also be reorganizing and rebuilding the Directors Area. I have not quite decided how to make that area as accessible and useful as possible. We’ll be letting you know as soon as it’s back open!
Finally, I have a lot of genealogical content to place online over the next few months. Our online presence is growing!
I have created The Genealogy Webmaster’s Journal aimed at explaining and advancing the technology underlying online genealogy.
For a few days, I had the start of that journal here on the Strong Family Association of America web site. I didn’t like the look! We don’t want visitors to drop by, seeking Strong Family History and Genealogy, and see a bunch of technical material!
I have therefore moved The Genealogy Webmaster’s Journal to a companion site, OT Scripts. We’re doing a lot of work creating a larger online presence for the Strong Family Association. You’ll see the results here, and for those following in our footsteps, I’ll be writing about the process in the Genealogy Webmaster’s Journal.
In fact, I’ve taken most of this holiday weekend rebuilding OT Scripts from scratch, to become an online genealogy resource. I wanted to do that first, so I would have a place to document tips and tricks as they happen!
Whew! One site is rebuilt and running. Now it’s time to do a bit of cleanup here. Watch this space, we have more coming online soon!
