The main website of The Augustan Society, Inc., is located at <[https://augustansociety.org https://augustansociety.org]>. It is a turnkey system provided by <[https://easynetsitescitysoft.com EasyNetSitesCitySoft]>.
It Management of the website is planned nominally assigned to replace this site with one managed by CitySoft by January 2022. While the [[Webmaster will continue in ]]. Access to edit the duties listed below, not all features will remain the samesite may be delegated by function to any officer or committee chairman at need.
Management of the website is nominally assigned to the [[Webmaster]]. Access to edit the site may be delegated by function to any member at need. There is, at present, no written style manual for the site. One hopes that should an The [[Assistant Webmaster ever step forward, they would take ]] has taken this on as part of their duties. Until thencontrary styles are adopted, 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 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. It's unknown if the CitySoft website will provide this function.
 
"Groups Management" allows members to be grouped according to their membership in sub-groups, 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 site also includes:
* [[Recognition of Membership & Rank in Orders of Chivalry|List of Recognized Members of Orders]] (of Chivalry and Organizations of a Chivalric Nature)
* List of Recognized ''Fontes Honorum''
* List of Recognized National Heraldic Agencies (to be developed by the [[Heraldry CommitteeRecognized Governmental Arms Agencies]])* List of [[Recognized Armorial RegistriesPrivate Arms Agencies]]
plus such other lists as the Society may elect to make public.
 
The User Guide provided by CitySoft is incomplete and obsolte. Thus a local [[Web Site User Guide]] is being written by staff to document our understanding, particularly of those features that are not yet functional.
