Do You Care?

Hello friendly blog readers,

Yesterday during a staff meeting, while reviewing the current Leave No Trace website, a staffer pointed out that the icons on our homepage that identify our Blog, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube connections are very small – almost indistinguishable. A healthy debate ensued about how we most effectively call attention to social media outlets (that we are very involved with) on our website - without them taking up too much valuable real estate.

Another staffer argued that people who are savvy with blogging, Facebook, etc. will know what the small icons stand for and therefore use them. Those that are “less savvy” in the social media arena, won’t be looking for these buttons and probably aren’t interested anyway – so no need to make them bigger and more recognizable.

Hence the debate, are we trying to pull more people into the social media world through our website or do people need to already be there for them to care about the Leave No Trace blog, Facebook page, Tweets, Youtube videos and other on-line communications?

What do you think fellow blogger?

Leave No Trace Partner Resource Page

In our continued effort to “green” our operations at the Center, we are eliminating the use of our Partner Resource CDs with Leave No Trace logos, PowerPoints, PSAs, and educational materials for dues-paying partners. We are proud to introduce the Leave No Trace Partner Resource Page exclusively for partners.

If you are a current partner in good standing, please email Catherine for log-in information. You will then be directed to the Partner Resources page, where you can now access a wide range of documents, presentation materials and Leave No Trace logos all in one place.
