This month's "featured" MyCouncillor site is that of Cllr Leela Widger. 

Leela is Liberal Democrat Councillor for the Silhill Ward of Solihull MBC. We particularly liked her very simple use of larger photos, particularly of people, which helps make the site more interesting to view. She's also used the survey facility (left hand side) that's available with all the MyCouncillor sites. Leela has also registered her own domain name (www.leelawidger.com) which points to the site. 

MyCouncillor system is a free website for Liberal Democrat councillors and campaigners - any member of ALDC is entitled to a free site. 

Cowley Street have kindly given us this "model article" for the myCouncillor sites. Feel free to use if you wish - but its up to you!

Copy the whole article, including the picture and links and just paste into a blank article on your site from the test site here.

To help promote the growing number of Liberal Democrat councillors and campaigners who use ALDC's free "myCouncillor" website system, we'll be promoting a "featured" site each month.

March’s featured site is Councillor Glenn Goodall, who represents the Redlands Ward on Reading Borough Council, and is our Groups’ Environment Spokesperson.

Glenn makes particularly good use of both photos and text within his postings, including a good use of “pull out quotes" (using the Tab in button at the top of postings). We liked Glenn’s informal, but informative way of reporting on life in No-overall-control Reading!

If you'd like to nominate your site, or someone elses, as a featured site in the future please get in touch!

The Party has given us this idea for a story on your "myCouncillor" site. 

The story is on a dossier researched by Liberal Democrats that highlights ways that our taxes are being wasted on extravagant and wasteful projects. You can copy the story from this test site, just copy the whole story, including the photo and "paste" into a new post on your website admin section. If you prefer to do the layout yourself, the the link to the photo is here. 

Please let us know if you have stories that might be useful for people's websites.

To help promote the growing number of Liberal Democrat councillors and campaigners who use ALDC's free "myCouncillor" website system, we'll be promoting a "featured" site each month.

February's featured site is Councillor Steve Beasant who represents the East Marsh Ward of North East Lincolnshire Council.

 Steve makes good use of links in his articles, which gave him the accolade of being the Number 1 local site (excluding "blogs") for linking traffic though to the national party site www.libdems.org.uk. (See this article on Lib Dem Voice.).
