\"EFFS-Emblem\"Over the last couple of days, Anna<\/a> and I have been rebooting the online presence of the Emerald Forest Filk Society. They’re a Cascadian filk music (geek-folk) society that’s been around quite a while; we co-run a small co-op ISP as a hobby, and have the resources for this sort of thing. So when they came saying “HELP!”, we of course said yes.<\/p>\n

We’re pretty pleased with ourselves, to be honest, particularly over the timeframe. They had a fairly simple static web page before, and a mailing list (with extensive archives). In a little over a day, we’ve ported the domain and the mailing list, and have repaired the archives and uploaded through 2007 already. The rest are a matter of another hour of work, tops; they’ve already been repaired.<\/p>\n

Better, we’ve also built a completely new site for them<\/a>, one that’s easier to maintain, because it’s WordPress. Two people have already volunteered to write things for it, so it actually gets updated with news and events. We’ve built presences on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> that are automatically updated as the website’s multiple miniblogs are updated, and replies on those services go back to the website<\/em>, so it’s tied together like it should be.<\/p>\n

There are still details to manage, but all the heavy lifting is finished<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Web tools make this so easy<\/em> now. In 2005, that would’ve been a month of work, possibly for a crew. Now two people can pull it off working part-time in a day<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The future is cool<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
