deprecated Blast Email
The main website of The Augustan Society, Inc., is located at ><[http://augustansociety.org augustansociety.org]?>. It is a turnkey system provided by <[http://easynetsites.com EasyNetSites]>.
Management of the website is nominally assigned to the [[Assistant Webmaster for ENS]], who is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the [[Webmaster]]. Access to edit the site may be delegated by function to any memberat need.
There is, at present, no written style manual for the site. One hopes that should an Assistant Webmaster ever step forward, they would take this on as part of their duties. Until then, copying the existing style is recommended.
This site also includes the working [[Roster]] for the Society and its [[Sub-Groups]]. Access to this has been granted to the [[Assistant Secretary]] and the [[Assistant Treasurer]], as each is the lead worker on some aspect of the Roster.
The site includes a "Blast Email" function, that can intended to be used to send bulk email to members (or others). Due to changes in the structure of the internet and the Society's maintenance of an email forwarder responding to the same domain name, this system is presently unusable. "Groups Management" allows members to be grouped according to such their membership in sub-groups as may be set up, classes of membership, committee membership, and any arbitrary group needed. Maintaining these groups is a non-trivial task that is not often attended to except when a mailing is to be made. This is presently felt sufficient. This function can often get email through when mail sent from <augustansociety.org> cannot. The primary use of this last item is when AOL decides to be uncooperative, or when an email filter requires payment.
