TLA Launches New Website!
Welcome to the new website! Welcome to the first posting of the President’s Blog!
I am delighted to report that the wonderful work of the Website/Editorial Committee and our website designer, Greg Lord, has resulted in this dynamic and beautifully designed website. As I have reported in Broadside throughout the past year, this has been a priority for TLA. We needed to address issues of storage, handling of multimedia content and new ways to communicate all of the activities of the association. The new website provides us with the ability to integrate the traditional features of Broadside and establish a more flexible and timely publishing cycle for news, features, reviews and more.
Here are just a few of the new features!
- Our new website is developed on WordPress. This enables us to take advantage of interactive features and host multimedia files. WordPress offers ease of adding content and editing – functions that will expand to a larger editorial group.
- WordPress will keep things organized into a hierarchy that will allow for easy searching of the site content – the website provides easy navigation from parent pages to sub-pages.
- Our website is built on a responsive framework which makes it adaptable to a variety of devices and browsers.
- We will feature a dynamic slideshow on the home page.
- The website supports a full pdf archive of Broadside.
Many thanks to the Website/Editorial Committee:
