Editing Pages
Pages are standalone content that doesn't fit into articles, events, or documentation. The most important page is the About page—the face of the club for visitors.
What are Pages?
Unlike articles (which are dated and authored) or documentation (which is reference material), pages are standalone content representing the club itself:
- About — Club mission, leadership, history, and membership info
- Contact — How to reach the club
- Membership — Requirements, dues, benefits
Pages live in src/content/pages/ and are written in Markdown.
Editing the About Page
The About page is the most frequently updated page. Common updates include:
- Board of Directors — Update after annual elections
- Meeting schedule — Verify times and locations are current
- Membership dues — Update if pricing changes
- Partner organizations — Add new partnerships
- "Last updated" date — Update when making any changes
About Page Location
src/content/pages/about.mdKey Sections to Maintain
| Section | Update When |
|---|---|
| Board of Directors | After annual elections (typically fall) |
| Monthly Meetings | If meeting day, time, or location changes |
| Membership Dues | If pricing structure changes |
| Focus Areas | When club priorities evolve |
| Partner Organizations | When partnerships are added or ended |
| Last Updated | Every time you edit the page |
Always update the "Last updated" date at the bottom of the About page when making changes. This helps visitors know the information is current.

Content Guidelines
Writing for the About Page
- Be welcoming: The About page is often a visitor's first impression
- Be accurate: Double-check names, callsigns, dates, and contact info
- Be current: Remove references to past events unless historically significant
- Be concise: Visitors scan—use headings, lists, and short paragraphs
Board Member Updates
When updating the Board of Directors section:
- Verify all names and callsigns are correct
- Update the term year in the heading (e.g., "2025-2026")
- List positions in order: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Members at Large
- Remove outgoing members; add incoming members
Contact Information
Contact information should use the club's official channels, not personal contact info. Keep the mailing address, email, and website current.
