Of Wedding Registries And Website Administration

Kody Jackson

If I’ve learned anything over the past 27 years, it’s this: no one wants my creative wedding gifts. It doesn’t matter how much time or effort I’ve put into that friendship collage or choreographed dance solo … my time would have been better spent buying a set of knives.


That’s the whole point of having a registry, right? Sure, you’re letting people pick and choose gifts, but you’re also not going to end up with that set of old golf clubs that’ve been rusting in Uncle Dave’s basement for the past 20 years. Registries are all about limited responsibility. The same applies to good website administration. You want your users to take ownership of your site’s content and functionality, but without the fear of losing your homepage or image library.


That’s the idea behind our new Blackbaud NetCommunity course, Users and Security. This course explores how you can use roles, task groups, and security assignments to delegate site responsibilities—responsibly. Done right, these settings can save you countless hours of creating and managing parts and pages.


So, if you're ready to say goodbye to painstakingly managing every aspect of your website, check out Blackbaud NetCommunity: Users and Security today. Go ahead, say I do to this course ... and I promise not to send you the absolutely perfect gift I found in my garage last weekend!
