Log on to the all-new brattleborotv.org!
We "soft-launched" our new website last week and are already receiving online content, registrations for camps and classes, newsletter signups and positive comments from producers and viewers.
Training for producers on how to use the site will be offered at Producer's Night on Wednesday, May 28 at 5:45 in the Studio. Click here to register
One thing you'll notice is that each video (and video series) has its own page with a descriptive URL, not a video number. For a meeting that we record regularly, the page for that meeting will always be updated with the latest video, and you can see all the past videos, such as this one for the Brattleboro Selectboard:
http://brattleborotv.org/brattleboro-selectboard
Or you can find all of our latest videos displayed on the home page and in the Video Library, which looks like this: |
 | | Search or scroll through online content in the Video Library. |
| | There's a lot more to say, but clicking around will tell you the most. Thanks especially to our board Website Committee members for their work over the past two years: Wendy Mason, Lynn Barrett, Joe Bushey, Jerry Goldberg and Tim Wessel. |
