We can assist you in putting any content you like on your website
provided that it does not violate the Terms of Service or Acceptable
Use Policies.
Many lodges like to have at least 3 news sections to separate out the
different stories that might arise. For example in a Blue Lodge
website one might see a message from "The East" a "Chaplain's Report"
and a section on "Good News" but you're certainly not limited to
that. You can have sections for anything you like.
As a service to the community we would like to offer a few suggestions
on content which are designed to protect the best interests of your
lodge. These are by no means, rules, just suggestions from a
brother on what I would put online.
Example Website Guidlines:
1. No listings of Grand or Subordinate Lodge Officer's home and/or
business addresses or phone numbers are to be listed, displayed or
otherwise obtainable through the website. EXCEPTION: You may list the
address and phone number of the Lodge as approved by the W.M. of the
lodge or so conveyed elsewhere on the web (e.g. If they list their
number / address or lodge email address on their own website)
2. No listings of member's home and/or business addresses or phone
numbers are to be listed, displayed or otherwise obtainable through the
website.
3. Business email addresses for members can not be listed, displayed or otherwise obtainable on the website.
4. Personal email addresses for members can not be listed, displayed or
otherwise obtainable on the website without first gaining permission
from the member. If a member is to receive regular communication for
lodge business it is advisable to use a lodge issued email address
rather than the member's personal email address.
5. Activities listed will not contain statements indicating that it is
"OPEN TO ALL MASONS", or any other wording that may be construed as
such. It is permissible to announce activities that are "OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC" such as Lodge Officers Installation, Ladies nights and other
related activities that have previously been established. If in doubt
err on the side of caution and do not list the event.
6. When listing activities for Masons, they will be referred to as "A.F. & A.M.", or "F. & A.M.", or "FREEMASONS" only.
7. History may be listed for your Lodge, but NO reference will be made to any type of "MODES OF RECOGNITION" of Freemasonry.
8. The ability to submit content is open to all visitors, however it
remains the duty of the webmaster to review all submission prior to
being made publically available through the website. EXCEPTION:
The Worshipful Master (or a delegate thereof) may be granted permission
to post content directly to the web with prior approval of the W.M. and
proper training for such activity delivered by the webmaster. (E.G. -
Chaplain's Report submitted by the Chaplain).
