some thoughts to get going
everybody say hello to Jerm. he’s a code freak that keeps me from drinking since i hate CODE. he has not stopped by yet but will tonight. i am trying to add the facebook connect feature but need HELP!
this is intended to be an open source collaboration space so anything and everything is subject to change. if you know of features or plugins that will help us be more creative and efficient please let me know.
i just picked this theme quickly but again this is subject to change. ideally i was looking for a theme that was just the top of page and a large footer so we could add the twitter widget search like on http://theideacamplive.com. top half posts/commets - bottom half - #npla twitter - Dan or Jerm (or anyone) if you know how to make that happen PLEASE do!
for the tweetup we need:
- location
- date
- time
- possibly a cause
@nedra sent this link that may be of help
Permanent Link to HOW TO: Organize a Successful Tweetup
http://mashable.com/2009/02/25/tweetup/
for this site:
- about copy
- little copy/bios from principle stakeholders w/ links to give credibility
- logo (i just downloaded a comp from istockphoto - anything will work)
- add contact or twitter feeds from stakeholders
- facebook connect in progress
- way for people to sign up on their own
- need background and stuff for nonprofitLA twitter feed
- add RSS feed
- open to anything
i beleive i set this up so anyone can now join and write posts. if it’s not working sorry. once Jerm fixes my mess.
too me, if we keep this simple and just take it slow (we are all busy) this could be lots of fun.
again, nothing i have done here is set in stone. i am just a make-things-happen guy and thought i’d give this LA nonprofit tweetup a little push to get going.
hugs,
-M
