Creating a Kiwanis Blog/Website Workshop

The Nebrasks-Iowa Kiwanis District is celebrating the 2011 Midyear Conference in Ankeny, IA. This event will be held at the FFA (Future Farmers of America) Enrichment Center. It is unique that this site has a number of computer labs and which will enable us to have a variety of computer-based presentations.

Leigh Zeitz will be teaching a workshop on how Kiwanis clubs can use Blogger to create their websites.

Blogger is an online blog-publishing service owned by Google. A blog is used to easily post information on the Internet. It is usually used for creating a blog, but there is so much more information that can be arranged along with the blog postings to make a useful and professional-looking club website. This Cedar Falls Kiwanis Rough Risers website that you are viewing now, has been created using Blogger.

This posting is designed to provide a series of resources that you can use to create your own club website:

• Creating a Kiwanis Blog/Website instruction packet (.pdf)
• The 4-page instructions sheet used in the workshop.
• These instructions will create a simple club website that looks like this or this.
• Kiwanis International Images Library
• Collection of images posted at Kiwanis International
• Kiwanis Website Assessment Sheet (.pdf)
• Use this sheet to help you review and improve your website.

These resources should provide you with a good foundation for your website. If you use these resources to create your club's website, please post the URL for it as a comment below.
