MyCouncillor, the websitge platform for Lib Dem councillors and local campaigners provided by ALDC has been getting an upgrade in the last few weeks. Since launching the system in 2006 MyCouncillor has grown to become the biggest network of Lib Dem sites in the country.
Highlights from the changes include:
New Themes for your websites:
New features include:
“Get Involved” buttons, (shown here) which make it easier for people to contact you and interact with the Party or electoral system
an automatic Twitter feed to display your “tweets” on your site
link up to Google Analytics to monitor who looks at your site
an up to date Content Management System (using up to date WordPress 3) which makes it easier to upload stories, pictures and files.
a weekly ALDC ‘news feed’ of national Lib Dem stories, to help your site keep up to date (even if you never post to it!)
giving you the power to choose which content appears on your website using RSS feeds.
If you’d like a site just register online here – we’ll set your site up in the next few days. (Take a look at some of the many sites currently in operation – see the most recently updated sites in the left hand column).
