Central FC Web Manager

Shaun Carter

This role has been created to help relieve some of the pressure on new Secretary Steve. Although this role is relatively new, good communication with the Secretary is vital.

That's where the pies went!!!

My first season has just finished and I am preparing for a bit of a rest for the close season - but before that I will move all the teams up to their next year. The Fantasy Football went well with eighteen players & managers joining in.

Please contact me about anything. You can either e-mail me

or you can call me in the evenings on:

Phone Number: 01392 661525

but not after 8.00 p.m. please.

Duties

I intend to stand down at the end of the 2008/9 season - the following is a list of the main tasks as I see them - please contact me if you have any questions. This role has two large annual tasks plus the weekly routine tasks:

1. Annual - Moving the year groups up a year sometime during in the close season - not too difficult a job - I'd estimate a couple of evenings.

2. Annual - Entering the fixtures near the beginning of the new season. This can be quite a long task and could take several evenings.

3. Weekly - the match reports from the managers need to be collated and e-mailed to the Express & Echo. The E&E need to receive the reports by Monday lunchtime. The managers know to send their reports in by Sunday teatime if they want it published - I usually do this on Sunday evenings and it can take from half an hour to a couple of hours depending.

4. Weekly - publish the same match reports on the website. It can take from half an hour to a couple of hours depending and I usually do this on Monday evenings. I find photos take me a little longer and quite often do them the following evening.

5. Occasional - publish/update pages as requested by managers/committee plus administer Fantasy Football.

The FTP and administration of the host pages is maintained by Dave Knightly and he can advise on technical problems with the site. I use Notepad to update the pages in raw html but Frontpage or Dreamweaver should work just as well.

The design of the site is simple so that users with dial up access will not be slowed down too much and it easy for me to maintain. Photos are restricted in size and are not usually much more than 50k in size - I use an old version of Paint Shop Pro to manipulate them.
