Ocassionally I find myself in what could only be called, a complete computer nightmare. Try as I might the ins and outs of posting pictures and uploading and creating links and updating even a web page on our marsparrots.org site is still like a foreign language to me. Bird care issues no problem, computer issues big problem.
In a nut shell, is there anyone out there who is a tried and true bird lover and computer wiz too? Someone with the skills who would assist M.A.R.S. in creating more current and updated web contents. Facebook is a great venue yes, but not for critical needs as in finding funds or volunteers or for that matter available fund raising opportunities. Our official site is the one I want to concentrate on. This has always been a priority but currently it is an urgent need. One that now must be addressed. On a side note Pinterest is also a very important tool that we need to engage with more. You get the idea.
We must use all avenues of social media for this organization to be found or maybe a better word useage would be discovered. We cannot grow with out this. We cannot help the people and the exotic birds who need us to be here for them. If we do nothing more then we have done thus far we are simply tying our own hands behind our backs. Almost anyone who has ever been associated with Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary knows we know birds. Now dealing with the internet and all the available forms of social media we desperately need, no, not so good.
E-mail marsparrots@aol.com if you are this person or know someone who might be available. Thank-you for reading and for caring.

Wish I knew more about computer stuff to help with the web site issues. Guess I’ll stick with the hands on bird work. Hope somebody steps up.

Hi Lu,
I am not an expert but I do have some time available with school out. My son runs social media for a large national organization so I am sure he can help me with ideas. He is quite the computer expert. If you have someone else, my feelings won’t be hurt but this is a way I can help from all the way up in Titusville.

Clara,I am still in need of help although a few have stepped forward the issues i am having have yet to be resolved. I sure could use amazing bird people that I know and trust to help get me through the rough spots and the sooner the better as I have lost way to much time and must play catch up.
