Ansteorra Websites are the core mechanism we use to communicate crucial information about our activities, events, and officers. The guidelines here should help your tenure as a Webminister go smoothly.

Top Things!

  1. You must adhere to Society Policy and Kingdom Policy.
  2. Keep your Membership up-to-date and fill out the Web Warranting Form when the expiration changes
  3. Feedback matters! Fill out Quarterly Reports by the 15th of Jan, Apr, Jul, and Nov.
  4. When in doubt, contact the Kingdom Webminister via email

Best Practices!

The primary goals of any Ansteorra website are to

  • inform people about SCA activities and groups
  • further the educational purposes of the SCA
  • create a positive experience for members and new folks
  • display content that upholds the SCA Core Values

DO include the following on your website:

  • Up-to-date
    • contact info for Officers (SCA Names and Officer Emails)
    • calendar of group activities (if applicable)
    • info about Kingdom events your group is hosting (if applicable)
    • Keep details publicly available on the website rather than publishing them in private social media spaces
  • Links to Policy, Resources, etc that your group uses (Ansteorra Library, and SCA Library)
  • Links to relevant Social Media sites

DON’T include the following on your website:

  • Content that strays from the primary goals above
  • Content that causes anger
  • Content that diverts people from study and recreation
  • Personal attacks
  • Content that furthers the aim of subgroups or factions within the Kingdom (this includes, but is not limited to, households). We want to support the entire community.

Handling Documents and Files

  • Store files, PDFs, documents in an official Google Drive and link/embed them on the site. We have more storage available through our Google Drives than through our Website Media Files, so this help keep sites healthy.
    • Once you have a PDF in a google drive, you’ll need to grab the “view” link for the pdf.
      • Right click on the PDF, and check the Sharing settings — anyone with the link should have the ability to view the file.
      • Also from a right click on the PDF in Drive -> Open With -> Preview
      • from the 3-dot menu -> Open in new window
      • Copy that link!
    • Then, in your webpage,
      • add an Advanced iframe block
      • In the Block settings, drop the URL into the Settings
      • Change the “view” in the URL to “preview”
      • Set the height to 1000px or so
  • You should be able to preview and publish from there.

Ansteorra Webmin Handbook

powered by Advanced iFrame

According to Kingdom Policy, Local Webministers must make a written report to Kingdom Webminister on a regular basis.

As of November 2022, Webministers in Ansteorra are required to submit quarterly reports
BY THE 15th of January, April, July, and October.

Submit Your Quarterly Webmin Report Here (Google Forms Link)

If you have problems, questions, projects you’d like to take on, or any feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Kingdom Webminister.

Accounts you may need, depending on your role:

  1. WordPress account under ansteorra.org
    • This is what you will use to log into our websites and edit posts/pages/forms/etc
    • Accounts are created using a personal email address and a username that is firstinitiallastname
    • Make Sure To Edit Your Display Name to be your SCA name
    • (This is different from an account with wordpress.org)
    • (This is different from an account with wordpress.com)
  2. Admin Access to the site that you’re responsible for (granted by KWeb or another admin)
  3. Official Gmail Account
    • All group-level webministers should have an official Gmail account
    • Resetting Passwords
      • Passwords can be given to you by the previous officer — when this happens, Reset The Password
      • Passwords can sometimes be reset by the Seneschal or Webminister for the domain, they need to visit admin.google.com to do this.
      • Passwords always be reset by emailing the Ansteorra Server Admin
  4. Admin Access to Email List
    • Most groups have an email list that is monitored by various people
    • Webministers are not necessarily required to moderate email lists
    • Talk to other Local Officers to see if you need this
    • Contact Kingdom Webminister to get/set login information
  5. FTP Login for databases or HTML sites
    • A very small number of Kingdom Webminister Deputies need this
    • This is usually needed if you are migrating from HTML to WordPress
    • Contact Kingdom Webminister if you think you need login information
  1. Let Kingdom Webminister know you’re taking an office by filling out the Web Warranting Form
  2. Contact Kingdom Webminister and ask for access to your site(s)
  3. Update your WordPress account Display Name/Nickname to your SCA Name
  4. Get access to your email — either from the outgoing webmin or from serveradmin@ansteorra.org
  5. Do a pass of your site to update the Officer List and/or Contact Info pages
  6. Check your email regularly for requests for content updates, quarterly reporting, or other communication from KWeb
  1. Send an email to the Kingdom Webminister including your Term End Date and the Application Close Date.
  2. Once a replacement has been announced, tansfer ownership of any pages/posts to the incoming webminister or to the Kingdom Webminister (if there is no incoming webmin)
  3. Transfer your official email address to the incoming webmin or Group Seneschal (if there is no incoming webminister)
