Hey Guys, I've a number of changes I'd like to propose for the website. I've had a few days off from work, so I've been making it better and changing some things on it, because I felt that some of next-year's first-years might be looking it up, and we need to make a good impression. I was making it more easy to use, correcting some of the language, adding pages, and improving the overall look of it. Firstly I propose this: - The more people that we get onto the website, means the more they view an actual content by us, (i.e. not a page on facebook, and not an email). This means that they are actually fully exposed to the "engsoc" rather than just another post on their newsfeed, or another email in their inbox. What I say we do is, anything we are putting on, any event, any tutorial, any survey, write up about it on the website, and link people to it from our facebook page. This way we can cram a lot of photos, and nice looking text into it, rather than it being just another post. This is the hit counter for today, try and guess when I posted a link to the website on the engsoc page, (bear in mind 300 odd people like our page, so that's nearly a third of them clicking in one hour...) [image: Inline image 1] Secondly, everybody should post to the website. Arsalan gave you all codes to log in and post "posts" so we all should. I got rid of a load of what I felt were useless posts about unrelated things in engineering, so only relevant things please. If we're organising something, post about it. Thirdly, when we are doing something, P.R.O. - Bríd (or somebody) should be taking photos that we can post. The photos section of the website was surprisingly one of the top viewed pages today, and it will show people "the craic" that they miss out on when they don't attend events. Fourthly, the domain name engsoc.ie is available. Arsalan - could you please look into how much it would cost to lease it? In years to come i'm sure it'd be great that we have such a good domain name before other Engineering Societies in Ireland. Fifthly, I replied to the guy from TCD that wanted to set up an intersocs engineering comp. I said we were all for it, and reminded him that robot based would be good as DCU only has the school of mechanical engineering and electronic. I'll keep you posted if he replies anything interesting. Lastly, since this morning we have nearly 200 hits. Wahey! Let me know what you all think.
