The Chattooine website
|
I wanted to start a post about what we'd like to see on our website. I know alot of you surf the web and maybe even some of the other FanForce sites so I was hoping we could start coming up with some stuff we'd like to see so we'll be ready whenever obivolkenobi's wife (if she's up for it) can work on it.
Obviouslly, we'll need something on the front page about the next meeting status and upcoming events. Contact names, member list, previous meeting notes, photo gallery... what else?

How about biographies of everyone? I think it'd be interesting to read how you guys all came to be in Chattanooga what brought you here and such.

It sounds ok to me. That's not too bad split between us.

Good luck with the move. Whew! I don't envy you on going through that. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help out. Oh, and yeah... $45 seems like a really good price for a domain name for a year. We'll wait until you get settled in somewhat before we jump onto that, though.

$45 sounds like a pretty decent deal, especially split between those of us here already.
Perhaps once we decide on our official name, we could use the other most popular ones on our website for different pages (like Mos Nooga Cantina could be our board/chat area, Chattooine Menace could be the page where we post all our upcoming "invasions" such as special events/fund raisers/CONs, etc where we would show up "in force"). Just an idea.
Also--maybe at our next meeting we could go ahead and decide if we need to have a fee or something upfront when people join (that way we could offset any further costs from website/publicity stuff). What do you guys think?

the site sould have bio's on everybody. email address's like a members section. we should also have a section that has pass events on it. like meetings and pictures. maybe pictures of our collections as well. btw, i found some more old pictures of some of my collection if anyone is interested in seeing them. they were taking about 3 years ago i believe...

Maybe eventually we could even do a news letter type thing. They would be e-mailed, rather than printed, but until then we could have a section on the site for "special" things that any member can submit.
FanFiction is one (to give you an idea of what I was thinking). Original artwork, a collector's corner - showing off collections and/or updating everyone on what deals are in the area). Maybe an ongoing comic strip that we make up? Just whatever. I think the more material we have for people to look at, the better chance we'll have at getting people to want to get involved. I certainly don't want any of this to turn into a chore, though. Hopefully, it'll be open enough to where you can submit what you want whenever you want.

Glad to see you're somewhat settled. Now, if you have unopened boxes after a year, those are thge things you need to get rid of. I know, as I have several boxes in our garage from a couple years ago. I wonder what's in them? They must be things too good to get rid of... Why else would I have brought them from the other house. OK, forget what I said. Save everything!
ANYWAY, I was just about to ask if you knew what all that other stuff (about the website) was good for... How hard would it be to teach someone to keep it running in case you decide to take over the Nashville site? LOL.
If we got the site on the low-end, could it eventually be upgraded? I don't know how much "stuff" we'll have going up initially, but it probably won't be anywhere close to 333MB. I like the FTP access thing. It would be cool to have some things on the FTP that only members could have access to. Could the subdomains be set up that way as well? A members only section? I don't know if there'll be any super-secret stuff on there, but just thinking out loud (so to speak). If you have the time to be our webmaster, that would be great! You'd get to have a title (will bribery work?).
We'll start talks about the site at out next meeting on Oct 29th so we'll have an idea of what we'd like to see. Well, taking into account all the ideas suggested here so far. Not so much layout or graphics, although that can certainly be addressed. Anyone artistic out there can bring drawings or ideas they'd like to see on the site.
Thanks again Jess for looking into this. I hope you guys are happy up there.

I'm not sure how much high end stuff we'd need at first, though it could come in handy as the chapter grows. The meg size was good--it would be handy for having a photo page from our meetings.

OK, we know it's $45/year. Split 4 ways, it's $11.25 (might as well make it $12.00. Thanks darthjess for offering to put this together for us. You know a whole lot more than us about if whatever we come up with is actually doable on a site. So, please, please, please, everyone start putting up your ideas and thoughts down on the "The Chattooine Website" post or just send your ideas to darthjess herself.The more we can have ready, the more impressive our website debut will be. Plus, it'll put off paying for the domain until we're ready to use it.
Also, it would be a great idea to start writing up your own bios and getting a pic ready.
