Hi guys and thanks for the kind words. I built the club url checker to help my district with the transition from FTH1 to FTH2, and even after all that time, it still gets several uses every day. Back during the transition, I contacted every club in my district, but changes were slow :-( Even in our tech-heavy area (Silicon Valley), there are lots of members who are intimidated by the idea of doing anything with a website.

I have heard from a few districts who got all or most clubs to convert, and they said it took a lot of time and repeated contacts.

Districts 59, 85, 24, 38, 49, 55 and 68 each have 3 or less clubs with FTH1 (or FTH1unpubFTH2) listed.
At the other end of the scale, D14 has 48 such clubs, and these districts all have 20 or more such clubs: 4, 21, 50, 70, 69, 36, 3.

Well, I noticed that for my district (52) there are 28 out of 118 clubs with link issues. I was pretty surprised and that was what got me going. :ohmy:

Roger,

I know that most of the visitors our club gets are directly from finding the website (all of our newest members are because of seeing us on the web).


I can *totally* relate to this. What really drove the point home to our long-time members was that I added a column called "How did you hear about us? (friend, website, etc.)" to the Guest Info section of our Attendance form (we use it instead of a guest book). A *lot* of guests wrote in Website in that column and we were able to put "2 + 2 together".

Very helpful! I've spotted two clubs in my own Area that have problems according to this report. They also happen to be ones with low membership - maybe that's not be a coincidence. :)

I recently made a small addition to the Club website checker tool:
There is now an option to show only the "problem" clubs, the ones with invalid responses (due to timeout, typo, bad domain etc) plus the ones still listing an FTH-1 domain.

I did this to make it easier to spot the clubs with website problems, since for most districts they are now a small percentage of the clubs.

Here's the URL for the tools site again:
