An article about writing post websites, in the last
Gopher Oversea’r, resulted in several questions and comments. To
clarify, almost anyone can write a post website. It is not
difficult. The goal is to present the organization in a positive
light to members and the public. Websites are information
resources. They can be a force for good or can give the post a
black eye if the content is outdated.
An important point
is the web address needs to be short. In the case of the one I
write for the Brainerd VFW, is BrainerdVFW.org. The address does
not have a post number or even say post. It is short and to the
point, so it is easy to relate in a conversation and be
remembered. You will note also that the address ends in .org and
not .com. National VFW and state/department VFW websites end in
.org because VFWs are not-for-profit organizations and are taxed
accordingly.
Interestingly, the Brainerd VFW has a .com
address as well. Find out why in a six-page how-to guide by
