Rescue websites

Not even been here an hour and I'm throwing suggestions at you Just wondered if either a link section or a sticky would be possible for rescues to advertise their personal websites - not everyone is comfortable on forums and every avenue of advertising is another possible way to get potential owners to be aware of their local rescues and what rabbits are available, so perhaps somewhere for rescues to post links to their sites would be handy to have?

It's certainly possible and something I can look into setting up.....we need to get some rescue's in too, we only have Angie so far I could do a sticky in the rescue's section or even set-up a seperate sub-forum in Rescue Me.

Perhaps it could be a general advertising subsection then, if you like the idea? Not just for posting links but also images to print off for leaflets, posters, notices for open days etc. - that way local members can do it in their spare time and distribute them to raise a bit more local awareness while saving the rescue some printing costs (and also getting a wider catchment area)

Do you mean as in we provide the leaflets/posters etc or that the rescue posts their own that volunteers can copy, print and distribute?

I mean the rescues can start new threads, e.g. just before their open day they could do a poster image (or even post for a volunteer to make one?) and then anyone local can save and print it off to help the rescue get a few more visitors. Some blank templates would be good though if some of the graphics-savvy members could make some that just have the rescue name and details added?

I think MissySJ has already offered to do posters in the volunteer section

I will have a look into this, we have a few other sections to get finished first and then I'll get to work on it (with Mods in toe) and will also ask MissySJ and any other volunteers if they would like to develope some easily modified templates.

Thanks for your suggestion
