[Dixielandjazz] Website info needed

[Norman Vickers]

Dear Nancy Griffin

Cc: DJML

 

Thanks for your informative note and check-list of needed website info.  The
Jazz Society of Pensacola (JSOP) had a change of webmasters about a year ago
and we went through-smoothly, I think, as they were savvy guys with careful
attention to essentials--- the details of making sure we had all the
necessary billing and password information.  Yours is sage advice.  I've
forwarded your note to our JSOP board and current and past webmasters to
assure that we have ALL the needed information both on computer and paper
copy.
