Many aspects of a website checklist are similar for all coordinators yet each one will have it's own specific requirements. It is best for each coordinator to develop a checklist for their specific area.

Each website coordinator is responsible for developing their own checklist and submitting it to the webmaster. 

Use the web site itself to assist in the checklist for publication. Many areas are naturally updated on cycles. Categorize your checklist by cycle to make sure that you are keeping all information "fresh".

If anyone needs assistance, please feel free to forward your checklist for comments. Once completed, I would like to publish each checklist in the web team pages. This will make it available for others to use as a guide. If you want to use another persons checklist as the framework for developing your own please feel free to do so. It is not stealing, simply using the resources at hand. That's what team members do. 

Checklists should include the process flow for the data as well asa the editing function that has to occur. The development of an article is sometime the easiest part of the task. Other items have to be reviewed so that the article is presented in a format and/or location on the website that visitors are used to seeing it.

• Questions that can be reviewed for article and/or events include::

1. Is an event flyer useful? Should the flyer be downloadable from the website
2. Is there a registration form? Should the registration form be downloadable from the site?
3. Do I have the name of the person in charge so I can obtain clarification of information if required?
4. Is the event on the calendar as well?
5. Is there a map?
6. Should the info go on the Council News Page?
7. Should the info go on the Committee News Page?
8. Should the info go on the District News Page?
9. Jot down the reminder date to remove the information from the web site.

• Remember that Scouts, Scouters and parents are looking for information to make decisions as to attendance and
• District Program Planning calendars are developed at the beginning of the Scout year. These can be placed on the web site as soon as they are available. (I can recall one district person who didn't want to put the dates on the web site because they might change. It was OK to make copies and mail the calendar to everyone but it wasn't OK to put it on the website. When someone figures that one out, let me know.)
