I want to add a page or an announcement section to let classmates know who among us is having health issues/concerns (no specifics) and in need of an e-card, prayers or what have you and to let them we are thinking of them.

I am looking for examples and/or suggestions on how to handle this.

One thought is to specify a page with a button on our home page to link so only classmates can view.

Any help is appreciated.

We have a 'Prayers and Concerns' page that I created in the 'Survey' section.

I cannot remember WHY we made it to where they had to be approved first, but it was last used in February of this year.

This page is viewable only to site members who are logged on.

To submit material, please do so via the 'Contact Us' tab at the top of this page - enter 'Prayer Request' in the subject line. One of the site administrators will post your request as soon as practical. Please include phone number[s] for the administrator to contact you if there is some clarification needed. You phone number will not be posted on this page.

I have seen other classes use the Forum for such announcements.

Hi Mary,
Anyone (logged in) can post an announcement. I created a space on my homepage, asking alumni to post announcements concerning anyone affected by Hurricane Sandy. You can do the same-- calling it anything,-- a 'pray for' announcement, an 'inform us' department, a 'what's new? YOU tell us!' paragraph. I found that's the best way to go. As soon as anyone logs in, They can see whether or not it is appropriate. Oh, make sure you put that in as a disclaimer

Thanks for the suggestions.

It will be a few days before I can get something going.

This is a sample and a bit more info of what I have for two sites. In a thread under TAP FORUMS on TAP - The Administrator's Place, I included further information. Our mascot is a WARRIOR.

EDIT ADD: We do not include specifics on this page unless requested or approved by the classmate or a family member.

I use the Gallery Creator for this (and most of the pages on the sites I built) as a regular page. It gives me the ability to move the page in the menu.
