The new ARS Massachusetts Web site is constructed based on the premise that the chapters digital resources consist of documents and images where most members know how to email, use a digital camera, and how to browse the web.
The new site allows all chapters members to be both producers and consumers of the chapter's digital resources.
An announcement in the form of an email of a chapter event, open garden, or a list of rhododendrons in bloom in one's garden is considered something worth posting to the chapter as a whole.
These email posts do not have to be fancy as to format. In fact paragraphs of text separated by blank lines is idea. The subject of the email should reflect the body of the message.
A picture in the form of a jpeg of a chapter event, public garden, or a rhododendron is also considered something worth posting to the chapter as a whole.
The digital images are enhanced by a caption, location, and photographer.
The Chapter is storing digital images on Google Blogger and images on Picasa Web Album. Any members interesting in learning how to email to our Rosebay Blog or upload images to our Rosebay Album should contact us using
