Exploring different options with regards improving navigation around the website. This could include the orange bar for secondary links or using the panel in the left column
Mapping volunteer management resources across England

Using maps to help locate volunteer management resources, e.g. forums, networks, groups, events, training, venues, etc.

Interesting to see the Improving Support website has already had a go at this although it’s mainly information about organisations at the moment: http://www.improvingsupport.org.uk/resources_by_topic/volunteering.aspx
Acronyms and jargon

Assumption that everyone knows for example what a blog actually is, is there a different between the blog page and the home page, visually not I feel?

The difference between the different sections will hopefully develop as the amount of content on the website increases. At the moment there is relatively little content on the site. And so there’s actually quite a lot of crossover between the different sections on the site.

Editorially the concepts behind the different sections are the following:

Front page: is for any piece of content on the site that we particularly want to highlight. At the moment it’s only content editors that can make this selection. But personally I’m open to widening this up to any member. We’ll see how it goes though for the time being.

Blog: is for content that is particularly newsy and is a member’s particular point of view on an issue. Any member can post in the blog section.

Discussion boards: the forums are a catch all for any kind of posting (info, articles, events, jobs, etc) that anyone wants to share with anyone else. Anyone registered on the website can post in the forums

Community: this is a section that brings together the bits of info people share on the discussion boards, or questions asked, job ops, articles for handbook (for members) in a stream chronologically sorted. Idea is that it makes keeping track of new content easier (although we’re currently experimenting with how we do this- have you seen: http://www.volunteermanagers.org.uk/new that lists new content as it’s added in a table format…)

Look and feel

Detest the AVM logo and colour scheme, not much you can do there I suppose.

it is possible to give every user on the site the option to change the colour scheme and look and feel of the website. I can put this on the slate for development.
Separate the "become a member" and the "register as a user" pages

Separate the different ways of getting involved in the getting involved section:

I’m in the process of writing up an online help manual for the site so that instructions are available that explain how to do things like this.

We can make it so anyone logged in on the site can decide which ‘block’ (piece of content) in the right hand columns is hidden. This is not so complicated to implement- so we can put it on the slate to add soon. I’ll let you know when we’re ready for testing.

I can develop a block that appears on the front page – I agree this would be useful
Hide polls

I think the polls are useful, and interesting, however once you have cast your vote it seems to clutter up the front page
