Problem Log Henry-VFW State Website

Basic Need to Know:
Who is the current provider we are going through for our webpage?
What are the details of our contract?
What is the Meta data section for at bottom of home page?
How do I get access to preform my duties?
Official email for state webmaster?

Current Problems:

Home Page
-Link to vfw national page is not active at bottom of page
-Does not connect to Facebook Link
-What does http://my.vfwwebcom.org/group/departmentofnevada do for our department?
-Do we need an RSS feeder when we don’t have a state feed?
-Highlighted areas under upcoming events don’t link anywhere though they present like they should?
-Nothing under recent comments, necessary at all?

-Under NV Veterans Resources:
 -DAV Link is defunct
-Veterans Law Project is from New Hampshire, why no links to our state? Will call them and follow up.
-Veterans News is a Wordpress blog with no attribution on page. How do we know where we are getting our news?

Department/Officers
-Why is there a junior past commander on the directory page (Garlow)? We can make a separate page to recognize past state commanders but the junior past commander doesn’t mean anything here. He’s a past not a current officer or chair.
-Why is the chaplain’s email address spelled “chaplin”? Unprofessional in appearance. We can afford the extra letter in his vfw email address.
-Homeless Veterans Chair does not have a VFW email address.
-Hospital Chair does not have a VFW email address.
-Membership Chair does not have a VFW email address.
-National Certified Recruiter does not have a VFW email address.
-National Council Member does not have a VFW email address.
-National Home Chair does not have a VFW email address.
-National Service Officer does not have a VFW email address.
-Officer of the Day does not have a VFW email address.
-Outreach Chair does not have a VFW email address.
-Parliamentarian does not have a VFW email address.
-Silverlines Editor does not have a VFW email address.
-SVA North Chair is the only one who has “email” in front of their email address.
-VAVS Chairs do not have a VFW email address.
-VAVS Deputies do not have a VFW email address.
-Veteran Service Chair does not have a VFW email address.
-Youth Activities Chair does not have a VFW email address.
-Other positions not currently filled should be removed from website until needed.

Department/Calendar:
-No links to events on Calendar
-No department, district or post meetings or activities listed (some listed but no links to district meeting or activity information)

Department/VFW Rides:
No VFW email address listed for state captains

Department/Privacy Statement:
Why is this here and not at bottom of home page?

 District/Website:
Not updated. Commanders need to be contacted and informed.

Post/Website:
Not updated. Commanders need to be contacted and informed.

Ladies Auxiliary:
Links to webpages not formatted like other department webpages are.

News & Media:
AQ Newsletter blank. Who is this for?
Photo Gallery Blank
Silverlines is not updated for newer editions (if any available) and organization of past issues is messy

Programs/Chairmen Responsibilities:
Why is there a “?” on the top of this page

Programs/National Home:
No VFW email address listed.

Programs/Safety:
No VFW email address listed.

Programs/SVA:
Blank, information submitted already. Will resubmit.

Join:
No explanation of membership types or requirement to identify with the SVA which national is asking on their forms.

No question on gender. Is this aggregate data needed for other purposes?

Tools/Downloadable Forms:
Not all linked to working forms or linked at all.

Improvements:
-News. We have three places for news? Overkill? Duplication of effort?
-Past Commanders page, we can build this relatively easily if requested.
-No links to by-laws for members. Should be available for free. National, state, district and post by-laws are not readily available for members to access.
