Current Web To Do List

My to do list is long and now I am collating it so you all can see what I am doing. This list is not comprehensive. It will change often. And it is not in an order of importance. : ) It's an information sharing page for you all at the Branch to be aware of what's on my radar screen...

Fix Categories
--- DONE --- undo Top Level Category being required. -- The categories still need development and fleshing out.
Set up emails
--- DONE --- go to webhost and add emails
--- DONE --- change the contact page to not be email links (this will reduce spam, which I saw yesterday was rampant.)

Add Site Contact Form Page
--- DONE --- make it reply to a feedback email.

Fix the Chat Room
--- DONE --- I am going to try another chat module... the BOWOB one is odd and I am not so sure about it. It takes a bunch of steps to update... UPDATE: I replaced the chat module to an internal one... it is likely fairly limited in the bells and whistles, but it will get us started.... and it makes an archive of the chats... Keep that in mind... This is a public forum... : )

Add calendar events to calendar
--- DONE --- I added the ActivistResource.org calendar.

Going to Go for A Walk

Hey WILPF NY Metro women:

I have been updating the site, and then this afternoon there was a server problem for a 30 minute period (all solved, btw.) and I realized that I have some outside work to do.

So, I am going outside to mow the furry lawn...

But I will be working on the site tonight.
