The present URL for the national website was established near the end of 2005. Its present URL has remained the same: (http://donauschwaben-usa.org/) . The old URL site is still receiving a large number of hits so it has been left in place. The present site continues to receive "thousands" of hits. There has been an increase of over 600% more usage than in the last year.  Suggestions and contributions to the site continue to be welcomed and encouraged.  Please encourage your club members to continue to contribute and visit the site.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ARTICLE/IMAGE SUBMISSION TO LUSA WEBSITE

1. MS Word  for word processed documents.

2. Sender to do viral check before sending material/files to (LWM).

3. Send pix in Jpeg format

Keep resolution low (but good enough) to minimize memory usage. They need to be kept within monitor field size for best and easiest presentation.

4. Send information, pix, etc. as attachments and not in body of email message, if possible.

5. Be as current and early as possible (timely manner) to allow for (LWM) time to place on website. Don’t wait until the last minute?!

6. Do spell check, etc. before submission to (LWM).

7. Title information or article as it needs to be displayed before submission.

8. Notify (LWM) if any information already submitted needs to be modified for correctness, currentness, clarifications, etc.
