Done
4 | Donations page | Add a page and details of how to make a tax deductible donation to LGSS, and that LGSS is run by volunteers, so all money donated goes straight to Scout activities. | 15/02/2025 | 2 | No |
7 | Google Business page | Searching Google for "Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts" shows a business called "Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts Hall". Should LGSS take over this business using a Scouts ACT google account (maybe the Group Leader one) to make the listing better and change the phone number from 1800 SCOUTS (goes to Scouts ACT) to our phone number? We could also add photos and a link to our public Facebook. | 15/02/2025 | 2 | No |

Contact Us page | Changed the Contact Us form to be more multi-functional. Started removing all email addresses and buttons to email people from the website. | 17/03/2025 | Darzee |
Hall hire page & Chat button | Removed the Chat button. Changed the Hall Hire page to include the new request form that I tested over the weekend, and refined the page layout, text, and links. Text to allow email sending gone to force all requests to use the new form so we can track them. Chat button gone because people were requesting to book the hall via it and chat messages only went to GL and Webmaster, and they didn't ask the hirer for their details. | 17/03/2025 | Darzee |
New hall hire form | Created a new hall hire form for testing on the website testing page. Looks good and has required information. Need to check with Andy its OK before making it live. | 15/03/2025 | Darzee |
Added more photo scans | Found another photo album not with the others that had great pics of hall being built and turning the first sod before building commenced in it. Noted the backs of the photos showed evidence of being glued to a green cardboard, hoping to find more information about the photos, maybe from any 40th birthday stuff we have. | 14/03/2025 | Darzee |
Added photo scans | Scanned some of the pictures from the big photo album in the LGSS office at the hall and tweaked them a little bit. Added them to the Photos CMS on the LGSS website and displayed the CMS on the 50th Anniversary page. | 10/03/2025 | Darzee |
Added 50th anniversary logo | Downloaded the logo from pngtree.com (https://pngtree.com/freepng/50-year-ribbon-anniversary_3619998.html) | 10/03/2025 | Darzee |
Uniform badge placement | Added a new page with the diagrams from the Scouts Australia Uniform Standards | 09/03/2025 | Darzee |
Favicon image | Changed the icon image that appears on the browser tab and in favorites lists from the Scouts Oz logo to the LGSS anchor. | 09/03/2025 | Darzee |
Site header (menu etc) | Changed the Site Header to have new colours, menu format, and new icons. | 09/03/2025 | Darzee |
Hall Hire page | Added dimensions of the hall (I measured them today :P) | 05/03/2025 | Darzee |
Group Support Committee page | Cleaned up page and updated the Scouts Australia Policy and Rules extract. Also updated the list of training modules for Group Support Committee (GSC) members. Started adding in the incumbents of each GSC role. | 03/03/2025 | Darzee |
Website testing page | Added new website testing page so I can see how collections that are filtered work, and also how the different galleries work. | 26/02/2025 | Darzee |
Hall hire availability page | Updated information on the Tir an Oir Irish Dancers after emailing Kathryn the lovely manager | 26/02/2025 | Darzee |
Added CMS for hall hire pics | So we can now manage the pictures on the hall hire page from the CMS instead of having to edit the page. | 23/02/2025 | Darzee |
Hall Hire page | Changed the hire rates to be same for everyone as per Hall Manager's text, and re-arranged text a little bit. Will add more photos soon. | 23/02/2025 | Darzee |
Hall hire availability page | Changed the calendar to be hosted by a new webmaster Google account. Added in the meeting times of each of the LGSS units (Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, Vennies), and school holidays until the end of 2025. Also started adding a little bit of information about selected groups who use the hall like Silver Treads and the Irish Dancers. | 23/02/2025 | Darzee |
Background & Scouts logo | Changed the background on all pages to the pic of LGSS uploaded by Bluebottle a while ago. Also changed the Scouts Australia logo on the header to be a nicer one, backed up the old one to media files. | 17/02/2025 | Darzee |
media files | Started putting pictures in the media manager. For the hall hire page I had to download them by viewing the site source in my browser to get the large ones, then upload the back into the media library. | 17/02/2025 | Darzee |
Hall Hire page | Changed layout and massaged text into a better format. Ask Darzee if you want to see what the old page looked like. | 17/02/2025 | Darzee |
Wix apps | The app "Site Booster" by AppSharp was installed but I checked reviews (poor) and saw it was only advertising LGSS on 3 sites anyway: Business Data Index, SMB Home Online, and Factual. I removed it | 16/02/2025 | Darzee |
Menus | Minor change to website menus:
1. changed "Member information" to "For members" (takes up less space).
2. added Website Information menu under the "For Members" menu. | 16/02/2025 | Darzee |
Website admin page | Added new page for website admin, including recording changes and allowing people to make suggestions. | 14/02/2025 | Darzee |
