StreetStrolls in ANY direction!

Our new template can handle showing each side of the street

So facing WEST side https://manystories.org/full/strollala/ala01

or even facing north https://manystories.org/full/strollalo/alo06

We have had great success engaging the local community through Facebook. Getting stories, photos and volunteers. Firstly we asked all our team members to:

Logon to / join Facebook, then Search > [your town/village name], History, heritage etc > Groups tab and then join (consider joining the general groups as well)

A great free way to keep your team and supporters regularly informed of how your heritage project is going.

Just go to Mailchimp.com and sign up, for organisation use your project name (you can change it later)

If nothing else if you go to Audience > Sign Up Forms > manage forms you can get a subscribe link to add to website and social media etc

There are lots of helpful videos as well 

Wouldn't it be great if the photo archive digital images that we curate for future generations contains MORE than just the image.

When a smartphone takes a photo it often contains metadata on 

• GPS Location
• Device
• ISO
• Date etc

If we could add this information to OLD photos (as we scan/photograph) them this could be useful. 

as an example

An important way to link content is heirachical taxonomy

eg

Having read this excellent post and aware that future projects will benefit from ordinary users adding content maybe we should relook at making this as easy as possible or at least less overwhelming. 

• Use different admin theme for new users? Hiding anything they won’t need 
• How do I ? Links
• Short videos
