You can do it in advance, late or even in the middle of the night. You do not need to make a phone call so it even saves you money. How can I help the webmaster ? Send him emails, minutes, reports, digital pictures (preferably no bigger than 400 pixels square and 1mb). If things change please tell the webmaster as this is really the only centrally updated point. Why is the website slightly different on some pages and we seem to have 2 different home pages? This is because we have our own website which is hosted on www.woodbridgerotary.org.uk and this links through to other pages which we host on the main RIBI web site where a sophisticated members database exists. This has big advantages for members because it is integrated with other clubs information as well as district and national rotary matters. The webmaster has tried to match colours and style as well as possible but there will be minor differences but overall the user shouldn't feel to much of a change. Why do we need our own site when we can just use the RIBI site ? This is partly to control our own destiny because we can only suggest changes to the webmaster of the RIBI site but he will only make those changes if they are needed by most people. Most importantly however we need to be found by our members easily and the outside world who will try and find us by the obvious search term of 'woodbridge rotary' or 'rotary woodbridge' when using Google or other search engines. Having the domain www.woodbridgerotary.org.uk and being the Rotary Club of Woodbridge gives us a big but genuinely fair advantage when Google uses its pagerank system. We also need to put up news and content in a more flexible way sometimes. Why does the translation of the site seem to break down when you move from English to a second language and then to a third language ? It doesn't. What is happening is you have translated into one language and then clicked a different flag and Google isn't yet clever enough to go from English to say Japanese to Russian in one journey. You must always go back to the English page first before attempting a second translation e.g. English to Japanese and then English to Russian not English to Japanese to Russian.
