The Pier is finally entering the digital age with our new website! Please go through all the features and let me know what you would like to add or change – use the Contact Us feature to send me an email. This is my first experience with organizing and developing content for a website, and it continues to be a learning experience. One thing I’ve discovered is that the site will only be as useful as we make it – we all need help keep it up to date with features, content, and photos that are timely and useful for our residents.
The first thing you need to do is register to get a password so you can see all of the content – some pages have been password protected, so they can only be viewed by our residents.
The next thing you need to do is complete your profile. It is very important that you provide an email address and a phone number. The website will use the email address you provide to send you your password if you forget it. In addition, The Board of Directors can send official Pier letters and notices via email as opposed to using regular mail, which will result in a significant cost savings to the owners. Your phone number can also be displayed in the Resident Directory on the website, which will eliminate the need to periodically update, print, and deliver the phone number listings that we have been providing for our residents. You can choose which parts of your profile that you want to have displayed in the directory.
I have written some instructions for using the website (see FAQ), and I will be adding more. If you have questions, I would appreciate it if you would use the Contact Us feature to send me an email as opposed to phone calls. I check my email frequently, and I will answer your questions as soon as I can.
Please check the Events Calendar frequently. All the meetings and events at the Pier will be posted, so you will always be able to find out the date of the next Board Meeting or party.
Don’t forget to post your recipes in the Recipe Box and your photos in the Photo Album. I have posted instructions on how to do this at the FAQ link.
The What's New box on our Home Page is a great feature that lets users search for new website content within a period of time that they specify. So instead of opening each page to see if there is some new content, just enter the number of days since you were last on the website, and you will be shown a list of what has changed on the website since that date. |
We are so lucky to have Tina Deel as our custodian. She keeps the Pier looking great and always has a smile for our residents. Tina’s work hours are 8-5 Monday through Friday, and she can be reached at 273-5157 (you can leave a message). Please let Tina know that you appreciate her efforts.
