"I don't like these colors. Can you redo with a cozier feel? Ooh, and can you put a dancing chalice on the front page?" 3) Go up to the webmaster during coffee hour and complain that the page on your event is out of date.

Ways to Make Your Webmaster UNhappy

1) Say, “I have a great volunteer for you. She doesn’t know anything about how to do web or graphic design, but she’s ready for you to teach her.”

2) Give vague design ideas, especially if you have no graphic design experience yourself. “I don’t like these colors. Can you redo with a cozier feel? Ooh, and can you put a dancing chalice on the front page?”

3) Go up to the webmaster during coffee hour and complain that the page on your event is out of date. When the webmaster asks you to submit new info, say, “Oh, just change it to say (blah, blah, blah, blah …)”
