Web Master needed...

[chrpai]

The last time I mentioned volunteering to be a webmaster for a site was 4 years ago for the Orange Hunt Civic Association back in VA. Before I had a chance to say a word the board nominated and elected me to be an 'officer' of the board as the webmaster.

A couple weeks later when I had some time to think about it, I cc'd the members of the board in an email and told them that they should be concerned that the website was registered under the name of the ISP that was hosting the site rather then owned by the civic association. I suggested that we should start by transferring ownership of the domain, use MyDNS for free DNS hosting, and then start talking about what we would like to do with the website so that I could have a functional requirements document to base the construction of the website off of.

I got the meanest, nastiest email from the President of the board ( much meaner then any of the crap that goes on around here ) about how dare I attempt to change any of the contracts with a vendor. She then promptly 'fired' me from webmaster.

i know what you mean by that its amazing sometime what people who dont know the tech side of a website can be scary, and the domain registration is just one part of it as i have had to deal with a couple transfers that the person didnt want to give up the control of the site.

I dont mind doing it, i will let other people help or have sections on it i will help keep it uniform. as dee mentioned about texas mike, i dont forsee me disappearing for any period of time without notice, i do know that there is a 9 week period in the summer that i may be off line when i go to work at the scout camp again this coming summer, but i will still have time to work on it on the weekends, albet a little bit limited but still checking in on the site.

Congrats to Scubatooth and tx.lakerats for being the inaugural Webmasters for the Swamp Divers! I am sure that Dee will provide with all the help you might need! WWW.SwampDivers.COM should be up and running around the first of the year. You have a new forum under Site Support that should now be visible to only the club webmasters. Thanks for stepping up!
