What features do you want on the new WardWelfare.org portal for sharing home storage expertise and learning tips and tricks about home storage? What is your evaluation of the site for ward Welfare Specialists?

I'd like to know?

I think whatever is added should be simple and basic. I feel to many of us try to make home storage more complicated than it is. I told someone once to save water in their milk jugs. Not long after that someone told me how wrong I was for syaing that. I agreed that storing water in milk jugs is not the best way, but, its better than not having any water at all.

Yes I agree. Simple basic know-how is good.
I always knew food storage was simple.
On the other hand, over the past years I've included simple tips and processes that have made it easy to live from my home storage and not from the supermarket shelf. I wish I'd known them from the start. I wouldn't have made so many costly mistakes.
Simple is good!

An easy-to-find disclaimer explaining that you people are NOT officially associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

A "who are we" tab would be nice, so a visitor could take a gander and decide if you are tinfoil-hatters, preparadness enthusiasts, a dating site, a company selling something, or whatever you actually are.

There are all sorts of people coming from different viewpoints that might want to have a site called 'wardwelfare.org'. I don't really want anything to do with many of them.
