[Nfb-web] Websites For Individual Chapters

[Gary Wunder]

Hello, Jeremiah. I don't believe that we will have any trouble creating the
subdomains that you talk about. I can certainly provide a recording of the
meeting through a dropbox link, and I will work on getting that posted.

John Fritz and a number of other folks are finalizing work on templates that
we can use, and I expect that they will have an announcement out very soon.
They have done quite a lot of work on creating toolboxes that webmasters can
use to incorporate our logo and branding message on websites, Facebook,
twitter, and other social media. It is a fantastic effort.

Warmly,

Gary

Hello Gary. Any update on a recording or transcript of a discussion from NFB
national convention about templates or CSS to help chapters' websites have
similar look and feel to national websites? Any discussion, or availability,
of chapter sites as subdomains of the national organization?
(mecklenburg.nc.nfb.org) Thanks in advance.
