Major website changes!

Good morning, spinthusiasts! Welcome back to our blog and come check out some of the fairly major changes we have made to our website over the long weekend. Here's a little summary of some of the useful items that are here so you don't get lost:

CONTACT MENU
Under Contact you will find a couple of new pages that will help you get more involved with the Spintronix community both online and in real life.
          The first is a project we have been working on for a long time and are so pleased to finally open to the public (in beta format) - the INSTRUCTORS DIRECTORY! Here you can browse an entire directory filled with guard instructors, performers, Spintronix staff, and more. This should make life much easier when searching for someone to help with your show, getting your name out then when you are a beginning instructor, and collaborating with other instructors to put color guard content into the world. Some cool features that this will be capable of over time include:

• Certification badges on personal profiles to provide reliable access to certified instructors.
• Ability to list experience and links to work samples like videos of past shows.
• Searchability of profiles.

Currently, if you would like to have certification badges show on your personal profile, send your certification documentation in an e-mail to director@spintronixguard.org in order to have them added. Eventually, we will set those up so you can have them verified through our website!
          The second page is one we are very excited about - it is an overhaul of our APPLY page. Here you can see what volunteer positions Spintronix is currently seeking to fill. If you are interested in paid positions, definitely fill out an application as those paid positions are more rare and are generally filled from our volunteer pool when they do open.

PROGRAMS
Here you may notice that we have removed some of our pages that are not currently active. We still have those programs, so don't fear! We are simply overhauling the way those pages function so they are easier to access, easier to use, and have all of the information in one place instead of scattered all over social media. Some of these programs include:

• Summer camp
• Single-day clinics
• Instructor Certification
• Plus more coming soon!

These pages will be overhauled and then made available as they are ready for the upcoming events.

STORE
Our store is full of merch that we have been building up all summer! Go check it out (it does lead you to our store on teespring.com, which is a separate website but still totally secure and they will make your awesome items for you to be shipped directly to your house).

SITE SEARCH
Top right hand corner of the website. You can find anything we have on our site!

LOGIN
We finally have site memberships! You can log into yours using Google, Facebook, or your e-mail address. This will help you keep track of your service orders, events, certifications, and so on through our site. Just use the Log-in button on the top right corner (under site search) to create your account and log in to edit your profile.

We hope that all of these new improvements and services will help you along the way to be more involved and informed in the world of performing arts! If you have any feedback please don't hesitate to contact us using our contact form and let us know what you think. We are working hard to constantly improve our site and sources to give you the best experience - and best of all, it's FREE to use!
