I still don't know what to expect of the responsibility delegation suggestion. I briefly volunteered with an existing cms site before, where changing page contents was as easy as posting a blog entry. They complained the webmaster was very slow with updates. My plan was to train the staff for content updates, and only do troubleshooting as needed.
The staff member in charge was not tech savvy, so I said I'll do the actual posting part as long as he gets me the articles in the format I wanted: title, brief summary, body, and attachment names. I thought I was as clear as clear can be, even made a graphical guide on what I want. But I ended up getting really mixed up files and had to swim thru pages after pages of documents to even figure out the related attachments.
The staff member thinks it's my job to organize and rewrite everything. sometimes he thinks it's ok to just forward me an flyer and I'll come up with the title and description AND where to put it. Sorry I am the technical person, I don't understand your operations and can't be responsible for making blatant mistakes! And most importantly, it's your job :/ After one month of struggle I gave up.
Rant over. I assume for a skating club site it will be more straightforward, and I could afford to play with the contents a little bit as needed without getting into trouble... have to figure out the responsibilities very clearly before digging another hole for myself.
