Log :---------------------------------------: StrokeRecoveryEdmonton.ca & Tattler Stroke-Survivors.org & Tattler Stroke-Survivors.blogspot.com.

March / 2011

• Delete all data before early March / 2011  Stroke-Survivors.blogspot.com
• and I install StrokerRecoveryaAssoc.blogspot.com
• Start with the first article "Gary's New Truck".
• Sample to SRAE using Joomla on local iMac.
• Presentation to the Board ==> no-quorum!

April / 2011

• Presentation at my condo.
•  A few board members came (including Gail Pres., Randy, Gary, Alan+wife, ...).
• Board agree.  
• Bought on April 22/2011:
•  domain=StrokeRecoveryEdmonton.ca
•  1 year host=CloudAccess.net
• Joomla! more sophisticated and many features (and I'll have to learn):
• banners, hierachy include blogs+list+categories+..., (sub)menus, 
• iFrame (e.g. calendar), permission (author, editor, ...) ....
• Use Joomla 1.5.
• Keep "Gary ..." article March (but not include the Newsletter).
• Put in "Alan ..." article April (but not include the Newsletter).

May / 2011

• I tried various menus ...:
• Very flexible. Easy to change.
• The section/categories -- I'll have to think a lot! -- right now they murky.
• Newsletter conflict about publish or not -- Sharon vs Gail.
• Keep on typing -- I'll stay out of "politics".
• Put the whole NewsLetter May.
•  Article "Akira ..." is the first front-page.
• Include smaller article(s) given by Sharon (mostly from internet).

June / 2011

• NewsLetter June:
• Article "Jackie ..." is the first front-page.
• Ditto - Include smaller article(s) given by Sharon (mostly from internet).

July / 2011

• Change to Joomla! Version 1.6.
• First try v1.6 on my local iMac.
• Perfect. Goes in very easy, simple. 
• Works for 3 days; minor bugs but easy fix.
• Call Cloud Access to change to v1.6 - it takes about 1 day.
• Perfect -- same minor bugs.
• Ahhhhgg - 2nd day - the front-page doubles each article i.e. it shows 
• "Fraser Wins the Cup", next article is:
• "Fraser Wins the Cup"
• No obvious software bugs.
• Maybe bugs hardware??? Call Cloud Access to re-install. 
• Same problem.
• Call Cloud Access to re-install old v1.5.

August / 2011

• Try the Board to change e-mail format (like Comp.Sc. UofA).
• They disagree -- they want Name, Title, (cloak) e-mail and that is it.
• Implement their style.
• E-mail the Members with Name, Title, (cloak) e-mail:
• Include them or not - Vote yes/no to the end of the month.
• Many members said yes.
• One member said no and take it off the list - I did.
• Six members say it is very +'ve.
• I include Board+Members Name, Title, (cloak)e-mail.

September / 2011

• Insert Gail article and Prochazka article.
• Board has new sub-committee to approve or not:
• I think it is silly.
• My rule is to do-nothing/write-nothing until approved/not.

October / 2011

• Sharon says: "I am resigning from the SRAE  Media Committee"      
• I.e. she won't write the Newsletter.
• Convert Stroke-Survivors.blogspot.com to Stroke-Survivors.org.
• Cost $10 USD / year.
• Blogspot works as well.
• Google owns bloodspot.com; they don't use ".ca";  ".org" is OK.

November / 2011

• sub-committee is very, very slow!! So far I received 1 article & 1 Newsletter in November.
• Met Gail & Wendy came to my house for approx 2hrs; good meeting. They asked me to do:
• Change front-page to only 3 static articles (DONE):
• Header - "We are an active community ..." - static.
• Left - "Stroke Community ..." - static.
• Right - "Our Next Monthly ..." - updated each month - semi-static.
• Change to News (DONE):
• It is "dynamic" (Joomla has only dynamic@"front-page" but I can implement with the blog).
• Deleted "International".
• Removed login/logout - absolutely nobody used it (DONE).
• Turn off an article "How to do an Author, ...".
• Change "Board & Members" back to "Board Members" (DONE).
• In the last 3 months has no e-mail activity by the non-Board people, as well, I have the old list.
• Removed "YouTube Links" (DONE):
• I started the links but I requested proper organize the articles, sub-menus, etc.
• Nobody is available to do it.
• Removed sub-menu "Statistics" (DONE):
• I like statistics but the everybody else does not - ahh well.
• But I can use "Google Analytics".
• Removed "Learn About Stroke" menu (DONE):
• Many sub-links start to break in SSAO.
• Maybe Gail or the sub-committee can talk to SSAO or repair it:
• e.g. Dale Lynch - dalelynch@yahoo.com
