Web Site Creation
and Administration
McIntosh's web site was first created
in 2008. It was designed and created by Mara Wittman,
mara@nwrdc.org, planner at the
Northwest Regional Development
Commission in Warren. Mara created the site with
information collected by Teresa Syverson, McIntosh's City Clerk and
Mara's knowledge of the McIntosh area. After initial creation,
Mara transferred the site to the official city clerk computer.
Then Mara trained Teresa in basic updating, new page creation, and
inserting photographs in Frontpage software. The web site was
then published to their official ci.mcintosh.mn.us web site address.
This type of domain name is free and available to all Minnesota
cities. After publishing, Teresa took over the web site in
2007 making exciting changes and additions that reflect the unique
feel of their community. Mara continues to be available to
assist with future changes and problems.
McIntosh, Erskine, Winger, Fertile,
and Mentor were all part of a project run by the People Connection
in Fosston to improve the broadband access and internet presence of
these five communities. To find out more about this project

Does this sound like something your
community would be interested in? Mara can create a similar
basic site for your community if you are located in Northwestern
Minnesota. Note: Only communities location in the Minnesota
counties of Kittson, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake,
or Roseau are eligible. Please contact
mara@nwrdc.org or call
218-745-7612 to find out more. Web sites are created on a
first come, first served basis depending on Mara's schedule and
availability. The key to the success of this program, is
empowering your city to maintain and update your own site but not be
burdened with the initial design phase.
