Webmaster duties

  5. Interface with Membership Chair when problems arise.
  6. Provide guidance on any updates to the website design and functionality.
  7. Add new content either suggested by a member or found by the webmaster.
  8. It would be VERY helpful if the newsletter chair would provide to the webmaster at least one story per month for publication on line.
  9. Prepare a list of programs, plugins, and any other password protected content. This should NEVER be emailed. Make sure that whoever you give this to is not likely to go in and mess about.
