Re: getting support for your web site team

Last year, I took over most of the website, since our previous webmaster was unable to participate in the team. I didn't know anything about HTML or CSS, but within two weeks of the kickoff, I had created the basis for an entirely new website for the 2005 season. Later, our website went on to win the Best Website Award at the UTC Regional.

I did all of the coding, graphics, layout, and 90% of the content by myself (from scratch) at my home. I also took about half of the 2005 pictures on our website. I almost never worked on the website at team meetings, because we had a small team last year, and I was needed for more important things like finishing the robot or driver practice. I still do 99.99% of all the team website stuff right now from my home computer.

Last year, I did have another student from our team help get content for the website, like team bios. This year, she is looking to create a sort of comical section, with funny team pictures (like the squirrel our team's parade float ran over ) and quotes my team members and the like. Luckily, this year our team is almost twice as big as it was last year, so hopefully I can get more people involved with the website.
