HOW TO BUILD A GREAT WEBSITE BEGINS BY CONTACTING THE WEBMASTER TO SUBMIT CONTENT
A TRUER STATEMENT ON HOW TO BUILD A GREAT WEBSITE HAS NEVER BEEN SPOKEN
Email or text me: 864-907-3804 davidaakopp@hotmail.com dkopp3013@gmail.com Best bet to ensure I notice your attempt is to submit content through all three. I will contact you if I am aware of your attempt.
If this website is at all to be a useful tool for the membership, then the voluntary contributions of members and the mandatory input of all officers who should be bound by the by-laws to submit content need to send me content to post. As the editor and editor only, I don't care if the content is postal related or not. Branches could post a branch page on this site. I have brought this up at each State Convention to no avail. Some Officers have never, not once, submitted anything for publication. Please check out the officer pages to see who is and who isn't making an effort for the benefit of this State Association and the membership of dues paying members. I will always acknowledge submissions sent to me if I am aware of the attempt. At this next State Convention, some changes must be made regarding this website, including possibly taking down the website. I am saying only this about some of our Officers in that they may be fine people helping their branch and the state association, but they should be providing content to fulfill their by-law obligations or we should change the bylaws and possibly take down this website. Please refer to the webmaster page for more on this issue and what my plans are at the next Convention in 2022.
If a member finds outdated content then please contact me to have it removed or updated or if a member has suggestions for improvements then again contact me, the webmaster. Also, contact me if you find something wrong with the workings of the website Thank you David Kopp
Officers please ensure your contact information is up to date also are there other contacts we need to have reference too.
