Hi fellow dance musicians :)
I feel so guilty for not responding back in late February as I asked the
question about how to share rhythm grooves among band members. I was
swamped with work and our toddler and am finally catching up on all things
volunteer including band stuff. Apologies!
Anyway, I really appreciated Erik, Yaron, Meg and Sarah's comments. I'm
just getting back onto how to work with our community band on this so I'll
start with Sarah's idea on a few folks beginning with the groove and
building from there. We've tried that in the past and I think what we
really need to do is work on the listening part!!!!
:) Thank you!
Emily

Any of the standard and popular website-building tools should work for you.
They are easily searchable with the keywords website, builder, free,
online, create your own, etc. Some names are:
wix.comweebly.comsquarespace.comimcreator.com
And you can also do similar stuff through Google's website builder,
WordPress, and GoDaddy. This
<http://www.top10bestwebsitebuilders.com/comparison?utm_source=google&kw=web…>
website lists even more.
They're all pretty much the same, assuming you want something simple, but I
have dabbled in Weebly and it worked fairly well. I created this
<http://www.communityspokes.com> website for Community Spokes while I was
the coordinator of the shop, but, for the record, it has changed
significantly with successive leadership in my absence. It should still
give you an idea what someone like me (who has little computer knowledge
:P) can accomplish.
Enjoy!
