Put Your Club on the Internet !

Why?

Various reasons.

• It's a showcase for local people to see what you do.
• Knowing what you do, they'll be more willing to give, whether cash or help. Maybe join.
• And knowing what you do, some may ask for your help. That's why you exist, isn't it?

Many clubs complain of the poor press coverage they receive - here's an opportunity for whatever coverage you want, worded exactly as you want it, every day of the year, at negligible cost. Had a better offer?

What?

What do you tell people? It's up to you. Your showcase. Your local people.

The only comments I'll make are that you first decide who you're aiming at – your community or other Lions (look at some of the US club sites and you'll see what I mean).

And that your community want to know what YOU do, not what Melvin Jones did. So tell them.

How?

Read on. This is not going to be a technical lesson in website-building (though there are links to some good tutorials). The aim is to show you what's involved, what tools are needed, and pass on a few tips from our own experiences.

What do you need?

• A home of your own
  • Your building plot
• A few tools
  • Writing the words
  • Putting up pictures
  • Adding fancy stuff
  • Getting it up there
• A path to the door
  • Promoting your site
• Help from the neighbours
  • Useful contacts on the 'net
