Website duties for Everyone
Website duties for Everyone
every part of the website is editable by anyone.
so far, Dirk, Ryan and myself are the only ones who are 'Managers' on the site.
what it means to be a 'Manager' is to have the privileges to edit and change ANY page.
if anyone else feels that they would like to be an Managers or either the whole site or of just a Section or Page, reply to this post.
say "i'd like to be an Editor for ... the 'About Us' section or the 'Cafe' section or the 'Whole Site'
thanks for your help
** - Managers must promise to use FIREFOX
there is a 'Manager Login' now in the side menu... if you are a Manager.. you may want to login to the BACKEND of the Site to do updates and edits.

Yup. count me in too..
I'd like to be able to edit the site too. Keeping events updated seems like the main thing.
How to edit any page on the site - for everyone
i am very reluctant to making more 'Managers' than absolutely needed.
the reason being - 'Managers' control the whole site. it's a huge responsibility that isn't even required if you want to make changes to any page. (see below on how to change any page without being a Manager)
Chris, Gareth, Ryan - very understandable why these people are 'Managers'
anyone else (besides the obvious - like say - Duncan) will need to get one of the other Managers to approve you before its done.
to update the EVENTS page there is a special login that can be obtained by simply asking for it thru this BB.
