I feel it’s time to put a little spark back into our class website. We need to make some changes that will increase our website’s stickiness…content of interest to everyone…so that you will want to check back in fairly often. I have a few ideas, but would greatly appreciate your ideas.
One way you can add “stickiness” is to add photos of yourself, your family, what you’re doing today, and even photos you took when you lived in Hialeah. to your personal webpage. We have recently added a ton of storage capacity so with this new capacity we are currently only using about 5% of our available photo storage space. Don’t be concerned about the size of your photos you want to add. For example, if you were to add say a 3 MB photo, the website will automatically reduce it down to about 100 KB. You can also add videos; however, you’ll need to first post them on YouTube or Vimeo and then provide the link to your video.
Another way to increase “stickiness” is to increase the number of classmate users. To date we have 277 of the approximately 1100 living classmates who have joined our class website. When you do the math, only 25% of our classmates have joined. We encourage you to invite classmates with whom you communicate, that are not already members, to join our class website. There is no charge to belong to our class website. Members can participate as much or as little as they wish. And I know of no personal information that has ever been provided to third parties from the website.
Finally, if you don’t feel you have any ideas, suggest that you visit the websites of the classes who were at Hialeah High School during the time were there and check out what they are doing:
http://www.hialeahhigh1962.com
http://www.hialeahhighclassof1963.com
http://hialeahhigh1965.com
http://hialeahhigh.com (this is the class of 1966 webpage)
If you wish to join any or all of these websites, click on “Contact Us” on their Home Page and simply tell them you want to join their website. If you do join their websites, I’m sure you’ll find a feature or two that you like that maybe others would like as well.
Please use this “What’s on your mind?” forum to present your ideas about our class website…or just to let us know “What’s on your mind?”
Looking forward to hearing from all of you…and to see your photos being added to your personal webpages.
