What is DLCCWeb?

DLCCWeb

It occurs to me that I've never done a formal introduction of DLCCWeb. Allow me to remedy that.

As you may have figured out already from some of our previous posts, DLCCWeb is a resource that we have developed with Wired for Change that makes it easy and affordable to campaign online. Democratic legislative candidates can use it to create a professionally designed web site and access powerful online advocacy tools.

We've made it easy for individual candidates to customize and edit their own web sites no matter how comfortable they are with technology and the Internet. We provide a full selection of website templates, headers, and color schemes. Campaigns can publish a blog, set up photo gallery, or publish an issue survey with the click of a mouse. All the content can be altered online using a very simple editor tool, so no additional software or technical expertise of HTML is required.

Again, as I've said before, more than 200 of our candidates in races in 30 states are using DLCCWeb to power their campaigns.

As this election cycle unfolds, we'll have a lot more to say about this resource and the candidates who are using it.

If you have a minute, check it out, and let us know what you think.

Congrats on a new web site! And congrats on a very good blog!

It is firstly important that you provide these tools to the candidates around the country. The DLCC is perhaps the most unappreciated part of the Democratic organization. Not because people don’t appreciate it, but because they don’t understand how important it is.

The legislative elections are important for building the party at a local level, for grooming good federal candidates for the future, for redistricting, but most of all because it is the most direct and local way that voters see the difference between us and them. And ultimately the most direct way of creating a better society.

Again, congrats on a really good blog I just saw it for the first time now and read for about an hour. I’ll read the rest of the postings later today. I really like the form of the post, and it gives snapshots of what is happening around the country. Keep it up!

You might not get a lot of comments in the beginning, but don’t stop posting. If you keep the activity up, the blog will ultimately become pretty active as Election Day draws closer.

Keep up the good work!
