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.

Department/Privacy Statement:

Ladies Auxiliary:

Links to webpages not formatted like other department webpages are.

News & Media:

AQ Newsletter blank. Who is this for?

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.
