We have ambitious plans for this new site. In particular, it is designed to work with our new Member Center, MyHometownOhio, our Facebook page and the new single interface that will bring all of those sites together. The goal is to have the ability in place to register at one place online, and then to be able to interface and obtain information wherever you would like – by logging in, by receiving updates or alerts e-mailed to your PC or sent via text message to your PDA or cell phone, by joining in ongoing discussions with preservation and revitalization folks from elsewhere in Ohio (or the country, for that matter), and soon by being able to post your own local news, information, photos and events on our site.
As you might imagine, this is a rather daunting task. It has sapped our collective energy in the past week, as during the last seven days we have also been on the road conducting building and business inventories in Mechanicsburg, moving forward aggressively in planning for Ohio’s first statewide preservation conference in some time (exciting news to come on that soon), working on advocacy issues, and working on what seems like a million other things.
So – postings will begin again on Tuesday. See you then!
