A tab was created under ‘Latest NEWS’ and, within that, a sub-category for related items. The beauty of the template chosen was that it allowed us to list biographies from each of the candidates in a logical, easy-to-access format. The results were excellent. As you’ve no doubt noticed, IF you’ve visited the website, Susan loves technology. The Fall Newsletter appeared as a digital page-turning version and, for those with slower connections and/or who prefer, a downloadable/printable PDF. A video of our 2014 Potluck was created as well as a photo gallery where each picture can be viewed full-size. A gallery of the paving of Grey Road 1 was also created. THIS IS YOUR WEBSITE ...
