Brian Hamshar -----Original Message----- Date: Thursday, September 15, 2011 1:44:24 pm To: callers(a)sharedweight.net From: "Andy Shore&quot;&lt;square.a.shore(a)gmail.com&gt; Subject: [Callers] contra dance webmasters unite! (?) 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.
