Communication Services
Another year of challenges this year has begun for the Communication Services
group. The team continues to offer training on the WOW website maintenance
software for those interested especially the new FSO-CS office holders. We are
here to help you all.
Commanders and Public Affairs team members, be sure to review and submit
content to your CS office holders. We all need new content for the website.
CS office holders, please review your sites. Some items that aggravate site visitors
are broken links and old content. Also keep in mind those that cannot see by filing
in the Alternate Text descriptions (aka Alt tags) on every picture.
Expect a visitor to your site; National is reviewing your websites for compliance. So
please check them now. This alleviates future aggravation of having to deal with
them later. The District CS team tries to get out and review sites, but it can be a
daunting task. Division CS members should be also reviewing their sites, both
Division and Flotilla levels. If you need help and guidance let me know.
The District still has the GoToMeeting and GoToTraining software. We are
working on putting some classes in the system very soon. Also, GoToMeeting is a
great tool to use when you have presentations to share with the meeting participants.
Otherwise, there are numerous free teleconferencing software sites available on the
web. If you need a few suggestions, contact me.
