St. Mary's Website Training

Hello everyone,

My name is Kyle, and I am the developer in charge of your website! I've been working hard to get your website up and running the way you wanted! You can see your website at the following link: http://stmarysosky.diocesanweb.com/

If you have any questions, concerns, or adjustments that you would like to make to the site, feel free to let me know and I will work on them for you.

I would also like to schedule a website training for anyone who is planning on updating the website. The website training typically takes 2 hours, and I will walk you through, step-by-step, on how to make updates, create content, and add photos to your website. For trainings, I will remotely connect to your computer in order to show you how the process works. If there is a time that works best for training, let me know. I am available between 9am and 2pm every day except for tomorrow, the 14th, and Mondays.

Let me know what day works best for training, or if you have any updates or questions about the website!

I would very much like to schedule a website training. I am thinking a Tuesday or Wednesday morning might be best. But I will talk to Suzy and Fr. John and get back with you. The website looks very good! I am excited to start using it.

Hi Samantha,

I am available on Wednesday morning at 10am. Let me know if that time works for you!

Kyle,
Sorry, we didn't get back to you sooner. Suzy and Fr. John would also like to take part in the training. Suzy will be out of the office next week and so we were wondering if Tuesday, Feb. 27 from 9-11 would work for you?
FROM THE CLIENT "Fr. John" Spiegel, Pastor at St. Mary's Catholic Church (Oskaloosa, IA)
Kyle,

I was out of my office on Feb. 12 until late afternoon of the 13th. The 14th was Ash Wednesday a highly scheduled day in my calendar. As Samantha our Faith Formation Director has noted in an earlier email of this morning, in consultation with her and Suzy Lopez our office secretary/administrator (who is out of the office next week given a death in her extended family out in California) we came to the date of Tuesday 27 February from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. as a good option for us. If this is not a good day and time for you, please share another option. Thank you for your work in our behalf.

Kyle,
I just wanted to follow up with you after the training. First, did anyone tell you who we needed logon information for? If not it would be: Fr. John Spiegel, Suzy Lopez, and Samantha Ridder. Also, I was just curious if we could schedule another training on the forms.
Thank you again for all the work you are doing on the website. I am very excited to see it up and going.

Kyle,
I was talking to Fr. John and he was wondering if we could have a fourth logon that was more of a general login. This would be given to parishioners who were in charge of groups like the Knights of Columbus or different ministries. Then if they wanted to post something they could login and post it themselves. You have probably worked with parishes before, we are open to suggestions.
Thanks!
TO THE CLIENT Kyle Brown, Web Development at Diocesan
Hi Samantha,

I will get those users created for you! For the general login, I will only give them access to update the content on pages. I can also specialize it farther than that too, and make the general login only able to update ministries if you would like.

I will emails you the login information for the accounts later today!

I am working on the general login now. I need an email that I haven't used before in order to create the login. Is there an email that I can attach to the generic login?
FROM THE CLIENT Samantha Ridder, Director of Faith Formation and Youth Ministry at St. Mary's Catholic Church (Oskaloosa, IA)
Kyle,
We set up a Gmail account for the general login. It is stmaryoskywebsite@gmail.com (mailto:stmaryoskywebsite@gmail.com)
TO THE CLIENT Kyle Brown, Web Development at Diocesan
Hi Samantha,

The login for the general user is:
Username: Editor
Password: M!0PHbOB6wph4GhlHr(6)37Z

I am still setting up the general user to only have access to certain functionality.

Let me know if these logins work for you!

Kyle,
I just wanted to check in with you on two things. First, where are we at with launching the website? Are you waiting for us for anything?
Then second, can we schedule a training on forms? It would just be Suzy and I so a morning would be best.
Thanks!
TO THE CLIENT Kyle Brown, Web Development at Diocesan
Hi Samantha,

I meant to send this earlier, but I got roped into an urgent project that pulled me away. I apologize for that.

I got a hold of Jacob, your current registrar. We are currently working with him to get the domain transferred into our hosting for now. Once the domain transfer is complete, we will be able to take you live sometime early next week!

Let me know if you have any questions!

-Kyle Brown
TO THE CLIENT Kyle Brown, Web Development at Diocesan
I can also do a training anytime next week Tues - Fri anytime after 9am. Let me know what day you would like! The form training will be quick, as it is pretty simple to learn.

Let me know what works!

-Kyle Brown
FROM THE CLIENT Samantha Ridder, Director of Faith Formation and Youth Ministry at St. Mary's Catholic Church (Oskaloosa, IA)
Tuesday, March 20th at 9am would work fine for both Suzy and me. Can we just wait for you to call here sometime after 9am like last time?
TO THE CLIENT Kyle Brown, Web Development at Diocesan
That works for me! Let's plan on Tuesday at 9am. I will give you a call around then to start the training.

-Kyle Brown
TO THE CLIENT Kyle Brown, Web Development at Diocesan
Hi all,

Would it be possible to push the training tomorrow back until 10am? I have a meeting at 9am that I unfortunately cannot reschedule.

Let me know if that works for you.

FROM THE CLIENT Samantha Ridder, Director of Faith Formation and Youth Ministry at St. Mary's Catholic Church (Oskaloosa, IA)
That will work for me.
