Gold Hill Town Website
The folks of Gold Hill wanted a website they could maintain themselves. This was easily accomplished with WordPress and a the Role Scoper plugin to allow each person to have access to just the pages, posts or categories that they needed control of.
Gold Hill has a rich history and just celebrated its 150th year. This is the first website for the town, and ten people gathered together a few weeks ago in the old Lickskillet cafe (now home of town member Elon Bar-Evan) for a WordPress training using their laptops. Everyone was eager to learn and very good spirited about the technical difficulties we encountered trying to all get onto the wifi network and see the washed out display on the screen projector.
Little did they know what a critical role the site would play this past fall during the raging fires in the foothills of Boulder which destroyed many structures in the Gold Hill area. The site served as a source of information for evacuees and photo documentation of the destruction the fire caused.
