GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
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 present site continues to receive "hundreds of
thousands" of hits. There has been an increase of over 60% more
usage than in the last evaluated time period. While there are
several sections of the website that continue to draw a lot of visitor
interest, some sections continue to experience a drop in visitation.
The most likely cause, again,
is lack of current content and support from the membership. The
sections of little interest/visitation have either been removed or
moved to a lower tier on the website. The website remains an
overwhelming instrument of promoting the Donauschwaben interests.
However, its potential usage still
remains unrealized.
If this message appears to be
essentially unchanged from previous reports, it is.
In my opinion this site still suffers from non-compliance to
the web master’s recommendations for the web site promotion as well
as the persistent and consistent lack of support from the membership.

Suggestions
for Article/Information/Pix Submissions to LUSA Website
(These
are essentially unchanged since April 2007;
but mostly ignored!)
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. Try to keep the file
size below 500K per picture. The server will not accept large
pix files.
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 (LUSA
WM) time to place on website. Don’t wait until the last minute?!
6.
Do spell check, etc. before submission to (LUSA WM).
7.
Title information or article as it needs to be displayed before
submission.
8.
Notify (LUSA WM) if any information already submitted needs to be
modified for correctness, currentness, clarifications, etc.
9.
If possible, try to submit all articles in English and in German!

(Landesverband Website) Recommendations
(These
are essentially unchanged from April 2007; but mostly ignored! )
1.
Always give information as it is to be displayed.
2.
Notify Landesverband webmaster (LUSA WM) ASAP of website changes (URL,
calendar, etc.)
3.
Specifically notify (LUSA WM) of who, at each club, is responsible for
each club’s activities, corrections, and participation, etc.
4.
All Donauschwaben Club links on each site needs to be kept current
(report to LUSA WM monthly? to keep easily current)
5.
Notify (LUSA WM) of all club officer changes ASAP.
6.
Submit current photos of all LUSA officers for placement on national
website. Can be emailed or mailed for scanning; submit similar to
passport type of image 2” x 2” .
7.
All LUSA officer emails or telephone numbers need be kept current to (LUSA
WM). (This is presently being done by Generalsekretärin,
Elisabeth Miehle.
8.
LUSA club secretaries need to keep (LUSA WM) updated.
9.
Hosting Vereins need to keep (LUSA WM) updated for LUSA events and
related information, etc.
10.
All LUSA member clubs need to keep LUSA WM updated on current
individual club webmasters and their email addresses..
11.
Each club webmaster should notify (LUSA webmaster) and other LUSA
clubs if links need to be updated.
12.
Always address each item in correspondence, so as not to keep them
"up in air". If responses are to be deferred to later
date, indicate this as so with expected time frame.
13.
Recommend each LUSA member club webmaster place webmaster contact
information in a readily accessible area on its own website.
(Preferably on each page and "clickable")
14.
Recommend LUSA presidents establish a consensus as to how
"all" of the Landesverband der Donauschwaben, USA member
clubs should structure their Donauschwaben Clubs Internet links page.
15.
Other?
To date: Have
not received any September 2011 Landestrachtenfest mit Tanzwettbewerb
Event Information from Mansfield.
So, no information is presently available on the website.
