Meeting Minutes April 17, 2010

Welcome to ETRC’s new website.  The new layout allows for many new features.  Here’s a little explanation about the new website.  At the top of the site, you will see all of the links to the pages.  In the middle of the site, you will find all of the recent news feeds.  The left of that is your category section.  Simple right?

Pages: On the top of the website, you will see the different pages of ETRC.  Here you can find information about Joining, Members, LFS, and Sponsors.

News: In the middle of the site, you will see a list of new articles posted.  These can range from Meeting information, Member’s tank of the month, DIY articles, and other stuff.

Categories: On the left side of the screen, there are a list of categories.  You may click each on of the categories to see the specific posts under each one.

Archives: Instead of using the categories or searching, you can also find any article you want by date.  Just look up the month and year.

So the website is easy right?  The main advantage of this new website is to allow more frequent updates.  So be sure to keep a look out and visit us soon!
