Proud to be Hyattville (WY) Community Center's Newest Board Member

I'm proud to announce that I was voted as one of Hyattville Community Center's new Board Members recently, while out of town!  My first order of duty was to migrate our outdated and unused website.  It had been hosted as a free community service by a company that was decommissioning the option, and the platform used to create it ceased being supported by its maker in 2003.  

It also had to meet the following specifications; the first and most important of which was FREE hosting.  This was difficult, but we landed on Blogger (over Wordpress, for a variety of reasons). Once that was decided, the community desired the following - which required notable customization due to the platform.  That included some of the following:

• Addition of page / tabs at top
  
• Free email
• Free cloud / community access to documents
  
• Free online reservation for the community center
  
• Free online calendar of events
  
• Ease of navigation
  
• Customizing the blog platform to function more like a landing page with recent and archived information
  
• An easy way to contact the Board
• Responsive design, particularly for iPad readers
  
• Commenting option on articles / blog posts
• Linking and/or integration with a Facebook page (also a new mini project)

The new site meets those requirements, and I'm happy to report that the Community is pleased with the deliverable.
