You may have noticed a few changes with the website recently, and in the past. I have been gradually changing things in an attempt to make the website more useful, and soon I am planning to unveil a new layout which I hope should make the important things appear more... important.

To help renewing and revamping the website, I am looking for assistance creating online content. I know that people are busy so I want to make the website something that you can use to save yourselves some time on a brew day, or to find club related information efficiently. With that in mind, I encourage everyone to visit the website forums that have been set up to discuss website content and layout, it's a little bare at the moment, but there are some worthwhile suggestions which I have not yet had time to implement. This is a call for all members to provide their bit of input.

There are many excellent things that can be done through our website, here is a list to showcase what kinds of things I'd love to see on ehg.ca

• http://yeastslurry.beerfeed.com/links.html (has a nice list of homebrewing podcasts)
• BJCP course information, assignments, answers, etc. for BJCP judges
• ehg.ca/brewblogger (this can be used for miscellaneous individual brewing information such as recipes, brew dates, brewing calculations, etc.)
• http://www.beerandpolitics.org/cities/longbeach/archive.html (we may consider doing something like this for meetings, competitions, BJCP courses, new brewer webinar courses, etc.)
• Any custom information that EHG members have discovered over the years; I'm thinking more along the lines of Edmonton specific brewing information (water treatment, etc.)
• A web links section for interesting or useful online "stuff" that exists elsewhere.

Please keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive, and if you think of something that you'd like to see, I can probably accomplish it. Additionally, I'd like to keep things as Edmonton specific as possible, to reduce duplication of web homebrew content (hence the web links section, if you find something that definitely should be on our site, but already exists somewhere else).

Finally, if you have not yet used the website (posted a reply, or comment, etc.) please remember that you will have to log in from the front page before you can do this. If you've forgotten (or didn't ever know your password) click the request new password link below the login boxes and provide the same email address through which your receive your club emails (newsletter notifications, meeting reminders, etc.).

Here's looking forward to an active online year for ehg.ca and The Edmonton Homebrewers Guild.
