Hi - It was mentioned that Wordpress, Joomla, etc are limiting to those that are "real" web designers. It really isn't. I work for the University of Florida and we are taking our entire web presence - several hundred pages - into Wordpress. Our army of web designers are in agreement that this is a good move and they can do everything they've been doing, but easier and more well organized. I am not one of those web designers so I can't answer anyone's technical questions, but I know that you are not limited to the templates provided. -- JoLaine Jones-Pokorney "We are as gods and might as well get good at it!" - Stewart Brand

contra dance webmasters unite! (?)

by Andy Shore

I've been wondering if there would be enough interest (and traffic) to form an email list for contra dance website webmasters and other content creators (e.g., people posting videos to youtube) and people maintaining contra dance related "pages" on Facebook to discuss some of the issues and ideas and share links, etc. I created the website http://southfloridacontradance.com/ and I'm always looking for good videos to share (see the "Announcements" page) and links about contra dancing (see the "What is Contra Dance?" and "Dance Links" pages). I also help maintain the "South Florida Contradance" page on Facebook. In particular, I think that finding, generating, and sharing fresh content is the kind of thing that will keep our web sites looking current and vibrant and will spark interest. I also think it's important to design for both the current dancer (when and where is tonight's dance or next month's festival?) and be informative and welcoming to the uninitiated. Sharing relevant, high quality links will also help make sure that search results yield the best information about our beloved activity. As for folks posting to YouTube... as a caller, I often want to know the name and author of the dance being done! Respond to this thread and if there's enough interest, perhaps we can convince the kind folks who run SharedWeight.net to start a new mailing list for this. Let me know what you think! /Andy Shore http://andyshore.com/ http://facebook.com/AndyShore.Caller << like me on Facebook!

Re: [Callers] Webmaster's ListServ

Count me in. I'm not a webmaster but I am a co-producer of a dance, and a caller and musician.

Seeking Caller for Trenton, Maine Contra this Saturday (9/17/11)

by George Marshall

Seeking Caller for Trenton, Maine Contra this Saturday (9/17/11) Hi everyone, I'm playing the Trenton Contra Dance in Maine this Saturday night on piano along with Brendan Carey Block on fiddle. It has come to my attention today that the organizers, having contacted seven or eight of the "usual suspects" up in that area, find themselves unable to find a caller for the dance, and I am hoping that my email might reach someone on the Shared Weight list who would be available and interested in calling for it. With regards to pay for the dance, there is unfortunately no guarantee (for the band or caller) but my impression is that the pay will at least be * something*, and that it's a really fun dance, though also one that tends to be on the small-medium side in attendance. Malcolm Sanders, one of the dance organizers, will be driving from Burlington, Vermont on Friday afternoon or evening and returning to Burlington sometime Sunday and could give a caller from that area a ride. I could theoretically give someone a ride from the Boston area but it would mean leaving early in the day on Friday and returning Sunday late afternoon (because Matching Orange -- me, Brendan, and Eric McDonald -- has gigs Friday night and Saturday afternoon, in addition to this Saturday night contra). If you are interested and can do this, please email me at eric.eid.reiner(a)gmail.com, or you can call me at 781-608-3442. However, I will be at a rehearsal from 7:00-10:00 p.m. tonight so if you want to respond in that timeframe, email is probably best. If you know of someone who would be a solid caller for a full 3-hour dance but isn't on Shared Weight, you are welcome to pass this email on to them. Thank you very much! Sincerely, Eric Eid-Reiner www.EricEid-Reiner.com George Marshall PO Box 602 Belchertown, MA 01007 TDV(a)wildasparagus.com 413-575-6283 Web site URL http://www.tropicaldancevacation.com

Re Swinging

by John Sweeney

Thanks for the great discussion on swinging. My Maths/Physics is a bit rusty - it is 40 years since I studied it at Cambridge - so I am not going to get involved I that discussion. Yes, I know that a couple spinning around a shared axis is different from a single person spinning on their own axis, but there are a lot of things going on in that shared system. Hopefully I will meet some of you on a dance-floor somewhere, somewhen and maybe persuade you that the lady trying to reach the man's shoulder-blade is not a good idea - but obviously that is not going to happen through online discussion. So, please, if you do insist on telling the lady to try to reach the man's shoulder-blade, then please, please, please tell them that they absolutely do NOT have to press there - they just make a flexible frame with the hand resting lightly in the chosen place - centrifugal force will do the rest. :-) Thanks. Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://www.modernjive.com for Modern Jive Events, Instructional DVDs and Interactive Maps http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent
