EAWA members and friends are so accustomed to the redesigned website that it feels like it’s more than a year old! The feel of the website and the articles have evolved and grown over this first year, prompting a few minor changes. The opening page of the website still looks and functions in the same way. We, Marion W1GRL and Stan W1BOY, have added Announcements to the pinned-to-the-top “Upcoming Events.”
One of our goals was to make it easier to find older posts as some of them are quite good (hi hi). Seriously, some of them, such as the post on how the weekly nets are run for someone new, should be easy to find. With that in mind, we have changed the tabs at the top from Announcements and Happenings to Club News and Articles. Club News items are tied to specific club events such as monthly meetings, whereas Articles share news about particular EAWA members or more general club functions. The post on the nets is an example of items in the Articles tab. Some posts may show up in both categories.
Finally, there is a way to get a link to a particular post, should you want to keep the address to a useful post or perhaps one you are mentioned in. Someone may, for example, want to keep the specific address to the post about how the nets are run. This process works for any post: First, find the post and click or tap on the title.
Once clicked, the post will appear in its own window, with its specific website address.
If you click or touch the address box at the top, you will find the website address that will always take you directly to that article.
Once the address appears, there are many ways to save it, such as using the copy-and-paste process.
As club grows so does the website. It’s likely that a year from now there may be a few more small changes. The important thing is that the awesome content — the awesome things happening with the EAWA — is easy for all to find. Here’s to a great 2025 for the EAWA and many of good stories and articles for the website.
