Website Team
We have two website teams that work together to keep our website going: the Techie Team (chair: Ken Hahn) and the Content Crafters Team (chair:Amanda Helm).
The Techie Team manages our open-source content-management software Drupal, and, if you have the technical expertise to help with that, Ken would love to have your help. Eventually we’d like to offer cool features like an online member directory, online library catalog, photo swap section and work areas for boards and teams. The Techie Team spends its time on programming issues and does not spend time on constant updating of content.
The Content Crafters Team is non-techies who use the menu-driven software to post information on the website. This team decides what the website will actually say and does the work to keep it up-to-date and informative. For this you need communication skills more than programming. Creativity is also welcome to help make the website more fun, gathering photos and quotes and jazzing up our pages.
Four ways to help:If you coordinate or lead church activities, committees or events, you can get a username and password and a short training so that you can post your own events and update your own church web pages. Even someone with very limited computer skills can learn how to point and click to make simple changes to just your own stuff.
Join our Content Crafters Team of non-techies and use our menu-driven software to post events and keep web pages up-to-date. A reasonably computer-savvy person can easily learn the software. You can make a very valuable contribution to church life on your own schedule from your home computer by helping with regularly scheduled, straightforward projects as transferring the information from the Chapel Chimes and e-News to the website, helping church activity leaders get their information online, copy-editing and posting news. Chief Non-Techie Amanda Helm really needs help with the constant updating.
Join our Techies Team of skilled computer programmers to maintain and expand the content-management software and framework of the site so the non-techies can do their work posting the actual information. Chief Techie Ken Hahn could really use some help! Familiarity with Drupal is especially helpful.
Help with a special project to collect quotes and photos of members to put on the site. Interview members about their faith, Lake Edge experience and involvement with specific church activities, or act as a church photographer at church events. We would love to have more photos and quotes from members on our site, but we need help to collect them. We would love to have a photographer on the team (even if this person does only photography, no web work at all)!
Contact Amanda Helm to help with the website in any way, or contact Ken Hahn to help with the techie stuff.
To submit information for the website or correct or update information on the website, e-mail Amanda Helm. Note that the e-News, Lake Edge's e-mail newsletter, is separate from the website. To submit information to the e-News, bulletin, blue sheet or Chapel Chimes newsletter, or to sign up to receive the e-News, e-mail office manager Michael Armato.
