Learning the VTH Language
|
|
Use News & Announcements to let your residents know of upcoming events, parking bans, legislative decisions, and other important information--anything that's timely and of interest to the whole town.
|
|
Posting Meeting Minutes is easy. By simply copying & pasting text, you can keep your residents informed of what has happened in your city/town's boards, committees, and commissions. In fact, it will take less time to post minutes to your website than it will take to make a photocopy of the original.
|
|
We do not generally recommend using attached files for meeting minutes, but we have included instructions on how to post minutes as attachments.
|
|
Major boards and committees should have three years of minutes on the website. Creating archive sub-folders makes it easier to find the minutes.
|
|
Posting agendas is a two-step process. First, you copy the agenda and paste it into the calendar entry. Second, you paste the agenda into a new message form, just as if you were posting minutes.
|
|
There is a Free-form Text Area on every VTH form. The text area usually appears at the top of the web page.
|
|
Bullets can be a bit tricky in FirstClass as there's no "automated" bullet feature. Find out how to create gorgeous margins and indents in lists of any sort.
|
|
You can do simple formatting on an image pasted into the free-form text area in a VTH form.
|
|
You may want to add an agenda, or other information, to the calendar event. This information makes the calendar a more powerful tool for informing the public.
|
|
Inserting links into the text of a web page increases the usefulness of that page. Hypertext linking is the power of the Internet--zipping from one place to another at the click of the mouse.
|
|
Pictures are not required in a municipal website but they are highly recommended. You want to encourage residents to visit your website and, believe it or not, including pictures of staff and important landmarks does that.
