How to Plan a Summer BBQIn Feburary 2016 30,

Pick the right day. BBQ's are best for end of the week gatherings or weekend days. Pick a time when most people will be available.
Create your guest list. If you've had lots of parties, you know that guest lists tend to expand. If you invite one friend, you have to invite others and so on. Pick compatible people from various sources. Don't just invite people from work. If you do invite people from work, limit the number so that they don't cluster and only talk about work. Diversify. Include neighbors and family members and new acquaintances. Introduce your guests to one another so they can mingle and talk.
Make a party CD. It's a good idea to have all of the music planned ahead of time so that you aren't distracted by choosing CDs and changing the tunes. Making MP3 CDs is great for parties because you can fit 8 hours of music on one CD.
Plan the food. Get a fairly accurate head count so that you know how much of everything to buy. As you invite people, assign them a type of food (salad, dessert, drinks) to bring. Plan for about 20 percent more than you expect. Have a variety of items on hand to BBQ for different tastes. If some people are vegetarian, have some gardenburgers to toss on the grill.
Make sure the food is safe. Meat and mayo based products can't be left for more than 4 hours without refrigeration. No food should be uncovered or in the sun. Barbecue meat to at least medium. Keep an eye on people who over-indulge in alcohol. Have a first aid kit and fire extinguisher on hand for emergencies.

How to Make a Gaming Clan WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 16,

Where you build your guild's website ultimately depends on the features it has to offer and what you think you'll need. For example, Enjin features specially-designed raid boss trackers specifically for 'The Old Republic,' making it a good option for guilds in that MMO. On the other hand, Shivtr sports a client that can be used while playing hundreds of other games, letting clans keep in contact even when they're not playing the same game. Guild Portal is another website that offers one of the most comprehensive list of modules, offering a major variety for clans and guilds with different preferences.
Bonus Features to Consider
Consider some of the other features you'd like to have. If it's not so important that members talk to each other outside of the game, maybe you'll need a service that gives you a private forum; this way, players can discuss strategies with one another on their own schedule. A private messaging system can also help you get announcements to your group, such as a change in your normal gaming schedule, if they're otherwise difficult to reach all at once.
Displaying Clan Achievements on the Site
One of the benefits of creating a site for your clan includes getting to decide how you design the layout. Be sure to show off some of your best achievements right away; if your site uses trackers to show off how many difficult bosses you've defeated, use them. If you want a public forum, be sure to have some links to recent threads on the sidebar as well. Adding a news module for updates that everyone can read also brings life to the website; frequently posting news shows that you're still an active force to be reckoned with.
Advertising the Clan with Prospective Members
However you build your site, be sure to post an update wherever your current clan members already visit; for instance, updating the Message of the Day in 'World of Warcraft' ensures any guild members see the new address upon logging in. If you need new members, consider adding your guild's name and details to clan directories or posting on gaming forums that permit that sort of soliciting; try starting with the game's official forums since many have a recruiting or advertising section for clans and guilds. For example, the 'Call of Duty' community features a section exclusively for clan recruitment.

How to Create a Members Only WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 13,

In Feburary 2016 13,
Go to Authpro.com, Bravenet.com or another membership services provider that offers login and password protection tools for websites. The cost can be as little as $50 per year up into the hundreds, depending on how large your member site will be.
Sign up for an account---you can choose between protection on a month-to-month basis or pay years in advance.
Decide if you want new members to pay to gain access or register for free. With a paid account you will need to enter information about your online payment account so that it will integrate with the membership service (such as Paypal or a standard merchant account).
Designate the URLs that each user will be sent to when they register, log in (or have a failed log in) and when they log out of your website.
Customize your membership login page. You can add a logo, change the background and text colors and add a message to your users.
Choose options and fields for your registration form. A standard registration form will ask the visitor to enter a username, a password, name, location information and email address. Add and delete fields as you see fit.
Retrieve your members only login URL, which will be emailed or displayed to you by the membership services provider. This is the link that you will send all users to when they try to log in to protected areas of your website.
