What's On page
Online Strategy
Analytics
Set up Google Analytics to track web site usage
URL mapping
Need to set up redirects for current pages to new pages

Consuming content from other sites and allow content to be used outside the site e.g. have a RSS feed of what's on.
- Flickr
- Wiki
- CMS
- RSS
Random Thoughts
- Sell advertising space for organisations / ethical companies
- Give groups that use the space regularly there own feature page
- Collect feedback from events so we can add testimonials to the site
- Create a Google Gadget so other organistations/people can add Star and Shadow feed of events to their site
- PayPal account to allow online donations
- Give free drink/ticket a month to person who comes to Star and Shadow the most on http://foursquare.com
