So, what's the scoop with NARAM? Every link I've found so far, even on the NAR site, points me to NARAM 53... Is there a site up for this year?
www.naram.org is now pointed to the new website. It needs to propagate thru the inter-webs. The my ISP dsn now have the correct address. If your isn't now, it should be shortly.
NAR is flush with cash after the BATF reimbursement.
I may be mistaken, but I thought they either got $200K or at least have that much on hand. I had gotten that info from their BOD minutes at one time.
Mark's number matches my recollection -- Tripoli and NAR each ponied up several hundred thousand. But when it came time to file for compensation, the ATF successfully minimized what they could file for, and it came to somewhere around $35K for each.
I think 'fixing' the website should be a major issue.
[sigh] not to sound *too* snobbish, and I know it depends on volunteers from the host section, but does the NAR's premier national event have to suffer with a 1990's-style, 'looks like it was designed by a high school boy' website?
Thanks for the update on the nar.org website.
Now getting back on topic - this thread and the comment in post #6 above are in reguards to naram.org
I'm guessing it's too late to have that site rebuilt, but RoyAlt's comments are spot-on.
As far at NARAM - 54 site, it is what it is. That is what the section came up with. If you asked 10 people what their opinion of the site was, you would get 15 different answers.
As far as the NAR.ORG site goes, the list of items from the board meeting is all going into the new NAR.ORG website., hopefully around the July 2012 time frame.

There is a email address you can contact the section at on the main page [email protected]. Anyone truly offend by the website feel free to contact them and offer your services for free to fix it for them.
All I'm really saying boils down to the NAR ought to have some minimal standards on how a site that represents a national event looks, and should guide the host section on achieving those standards, while still allowing local expression.
Feel free to document what those minimal standards might be and how to they might be achieved, preferably with examples for each standard. I look forward to reading your document.

Instead of standards, how about a template? Or something like Joomla? That's what CMASS uses. Our webmaster has it set up so I can change the things I need to change without accidentally destroying the website. For NARAM all the menu items are going to be pretty much the same from year to year so the overall structure could stay the same and just the content would change.
Not a lot of NARAM information in this thread!
