Good morning Aristocrats! This email is a detailed one telling you how we are moving forward into this century. First, a little background. Florida State law now requires large condos to maintain an active website to facilitate owner's access to information, forms and other important information. We are too small to be required to do this, but with the work of Ron and Ali we are able to join the big boys and help streamline our functions. Moving forward, this should make managing the building easier and more organized for us and for future Boards. Obviously, if you are getting this message you have access to the internet, but please don't worry about some of our older residents who do not have access. They will still be able to do things the old fashioned way by checking bulletin boards and with our office.
1-Our website is: Aristocratcondo.org. I suggest you log on just to see what is there. You may not be able to utilize the dropdown menus yet, but see what is there.
2-Go to the right hand corner where it says, "Log In." You will be able to log in if you have previously signed up for the website. HINT! Not too many of you are signed up. If you use the "Contact Us" option you cannot be added as a member. You MUST go to "Log In" and create an account. Instructions will follow below.
3-If you see that you are NOT signed up, click on "Sign Up" and you will have your choice of sign up options. Choose the one that suits you. When you are asked if you want to "Subscribe" or "Become a Member" say yes to both.
4- Once you do that, a message will be sent to Ali. She will make sure you are an owner and then approve your registration for the website. We do this because we know that some renters have tried to log on to go around their owners and also because there have been Real Estate Agents who, rather than asking for information, try to get it on their own. Very often this includes information that is private to owners only.
5-Once you get the email that says that Ali has approved your registration, log on and you should have access to everything on the website. Go to the top right corner and click on the picture of the bell. By doing this you will get an email any time a new post is added to the website.

Lastly-This makes me sound very tech savvy. Don't be fooled for a minute! Ron and Ali developed this site, not me! I even had Ali explain everything you just read so that I could pass the information on to you. I can only admit that I know how to use the website. I have no idea how they did what they did! My weekly updates and info will now go on the website. THAT I know how to do! Once you register, you will automatically get an email informing you that something was added if you clicked on the bell on the top right of the home page.. I have no idea how. I only know that it works.
ANOTHER HINT-If you have trouble registering, reach out to Ali. Reaching out to me would be a waste of your time!
