Kairos of Ohio Leadership and Advisory Chairs:
You are encouraged to contact the Kairos of Ohio WebServant Phil Turner by e-mail at <phil@thewebcraftsman.com> to give him text copy or to discuss how to best submit information for the website.
Here are some guidelines for you to keep in mind when submitting information for posting on the website:
1. Advisory Council Chairs have sole responsibility for updating their information on the Events Calendar Page. Nobody else will do it. Don't post names of weekend Rectors or Leaders until they are approved by the Ohio District Committee. If you don't know exact weekend dates yet, you just list, for example, "Fall, 2005."
2. Suggestions on how to present an item of text, or where you believe that your content fits best (e.g. Brochures and Forms page, Bulletin Board, etc), is welcome but the end decision rests with the Kairos WebServant based on his experience of what works and what does not, and the confines of HTML coding.
4. You may advise the webservant about the relative importance of your "item," how long it probably will remain (e.g. 1 month, 1 year), is it likely to require frequent updates or changes (e.g. P2P marketing). This will help him to best present your item.
5. It is very important that you send, by e-mail or USPS accurate and complete text in the format that you desire. Any form sent to the webservant should be the "final" copy. He will try to do as little editing as possible and will never change the essential content or accuracy.
Phil can accept corrections and updates of already-posted information as simple e-mail text - rather than an MS Word attachment if its easier for you.
Most times, any forms that you desire to have posted (that are intended to be capable of being downloaded/printed) can be sent as MS Word documents. If you are not able to perfectly format a document or a form that you would like to have posted, send your best efforts to Phil and communicate with him. He will finish these documents or forms and get your OK on the finished product.
If you have something really sophisticated (e.g. an entire newsletter publication, a brochure done in MS Publisher), talk to Phil in advance. He has most MS software, many graphic softwares, publishing software, and Adobe Acrobat (for creating PDF's) if that is needed.
6. Members of the State Committee will continue to provide essential information about Ohio weekends (Kairos, Torch, Kairos Outside) to the National Office so that Ohio Weekends will show up in God’s Special Time and the kairosprisonministry.org website.
7. It is important that you discern what is appropriate to post on Ohio’s website. It must be consistent with all we hold dear in the Kairos ministries. Nothing personal goes on the website. The established e-mail prayer chain handles all prayer requests. Some subjects are still best handled by sending an e-mail to the affected or interested persons.
8. If you have suggestions for a new topic or page for the website but it is not your area of responsibility, contact the leader who you perceive would be in charge of such a proposal.
9. Kairos of Ohio is willing to have e-mail addresses of leaders posted on the website but not USPS addresses.
10. If Advisory Council Chairs want a separate "announcement page" for their particular ministry, talk to Phil. This might supplement the usual broadcast e-mails to get information out to local volunteers, etc.
