The ABYC web site uses a number of publishing platforms and plugins to ensure that members and the general public are kept informed. Underpinning the site is the WordPress Publishing platform. On top of that is the Buddypress Social Networking plugin with various other plugins and widgets giving substance and communicating with members.
Membership to the site is CLOSED to members only. Non-members may not register to use the social networking component.
All members with a valid e-mail address were added to the site manualy and notified via site e-mail of their User Names and Passwords.
If you DID NOT receive an e-mail please send me, Alan, a message containing your Full Name and ABYC Membership number for inclusion on the site – alan[at]abyc.org.za.
Membership on the site allows you to post and reply to events and items of discussion on the ABYC web site. You can also customise your profile by uploading an image of yourself or your boat – please keep it clean.
Some image guidelines:
- Profile images are best if uploaded size is 250 x 250 pixels and less than 50 kilobytes
- Other images are best if uploaded size is a maximum of 800 pixels wide and less than 150 kilobytes
Obviously this site is being constantly updated and added to. We rely on you getting information to us for NEWS and EVENTS which can be mailed to Alan or submitted using the SUBMIT NEWS form.
Some News Guidelines:
- Use PLAIN TEXT to send news – i.e Notepad or some such – NOT Word, PDF’s or Jpegs
- Cover the essentials – Who, What, When, Where, How
- Make sure you credit any images and describe them or name the people in them (L-R)
- If you are unsure about anything – ASK
- Please don’t be offended if I ask you to; “Do it again!”
Suggestions are always welcome.
