There's no appropriate category for my message!
Go ahead and post your message without a category. It will appear in the "miscellaneous" section.
Want to recommend a 'new category'? Then post your suggestion to the 'WEBSITE MANAGEMENT' section of the site for everyone to consider. How do you do this? Simply write your recommendation in the way you would typically make a post to the website, selecting 'WEBSITE MANAGEMENT' from the list of categories.
I am posting about an event that lasts for more than one day.
You'll need to create a post for each day of the event. Just make sure you put in the appropriate date/time for each one. Major events, such as the Regional Gathering, will get their own page, created by the web team.
I want to suggest a new page to be included on the website.
Please post a recommendation to the WEBSITE MANAGEMENT category for group consideration.
I want to put up some pictures. How do I do that?
Photo galleries will be an important part of the website. The functionality to allow public postings of photos is not yet in place, but you can email the webmaster with a request to put up photos. Please do not email your photos directly.
Something I posted needs to be edited. Can I fix it?
Yes. Log in (if you aren't already logged in). Return to the main site and find your post. You'll see an "Edit" link. Click there and you will be able to revise or delete the message.
I'm not lost. Can I help?
Yes. Currently, an informal volunteer coalition of Brad Bowlin, Jan Spencer and Nick Routledge has had primary technical responsibility for helping facilitate the Guild's online presence. Our fundamental intent is to create a democratic space on the web where anyone who is part of the Permaculture Guild can participate fully. Please feel free to help evolve the website in a positive direction. Provide feedback through the WEBSITE MANAGEMENT section. And, importantly, as you are able, help answer questions that people post there.
I'm lost. Can you help?
If you re able to login, please post questions to the WEBSITE MANAGEMENT section and check back. That way, your question, and any answer, can be useful to everyone.
If you are struggling with the login process, haven't made it into the website, and have succumbed finally to terminal brain ache, feel free to email Guild Tech Support. Please be patient. This is a volunteer, love-funded effort.
