In regards to the GL Website:
1. Add a link to the Grand Lodge of Texas Facebook page. It's non-existent
2. Post education articles, trivia, heck something. We have to give people a reason to return to the site.
3. Change the theme. White/Yellow on black hurts the eyes
4. Email copies of the Texas Mason Magazine to everyone on the GS's list
5. Integrate the News and Events section on Facebook and Twitter.
6. Create a Google Currents page. It could simply pull the RSS feeds from the GL website and format it into an easy to read format.
7. Update the list of District Instructors
8. Change photos on the homepage to feature "younger" Masons. Sorry Brethren, but that's who we need to attract. If it looks like a retirement home website we probably won't catch the younger generations eye. Just look at the GL of California. It's not about pomp and circumstance, or who's in power, but the Craft. Younger guys who are potential candidates could care less about a dinner, Gold Chain, or plastic name badge.
9. Contact http://www.texterity.com/ and see what they would charge to create a digital edition of the Texas Mason Magazine. They currently produce the California Freemason Magazine.
10. Contact Fraternal Soft and see what they would charge to create a "Texas Mason" app. The app allows Brethren to locate lodges on their phones, meeting times, and much more.
11. I'd like to see the ALL and Life program online.
12. Utilize Bro. Payne's Lodge Locator
Just my measly .02
