Title: Update on PC Website
Post by: Kenddrick on April 19, 2010, 11:10:07 PM

Just got this email!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hi Ken and *****,
 
Hello guys.  I'm getting everything finalized for the site.  As **** knows, I have been very busy, and I apologize for the delay.
 
I'm going to set up FTP access for Ken.  He'll have to be in charge of uploading changes to the site, I just will not have time to make continual changes.  I don't mind providing some guidance, but the lotr pc will have to run the website, administer it, and change it.  I *highly* recommend keeping the site as unchanging as possible, meaning, if there are any sections of the site designed to change regularly such as decklists, that you use some way of dynamically generating pages, such as php/mysql.
 
No one can run a site for long that requires continual manual updating.  It's impossible, just ask Queen Jawa or any of about a million websites that went under in the 1990s.  Things have to be very very easy to administer, or people lose interest quickly.
 
Ok,  your ftp info should be
host: www.lordoftheringspc.org
username: *********
password:********
make sure the transfers are set to passive
 
Try uploading the site now, ftp is ready.  If you have any questions, I'll get back to you tomorrow morning, I will be at training all day, and then have a meeting tonight.
 
Thanks,
****

Things are a bit rushed with school starting and all.

At least we got a test site up and the domain name.

I promise you, I will get the site up as soon as possible. :D

Let me know if you want me to do any uploading/editing/etc - I've got loads of Adobe CS4 at work and very little else to do while I'm there...

Hawkeye would you like to take over the entire workload for the time being? I'm sure you can do a much better job than me, and quicker as well. :D
