Many of the STC Lyris lists are on the STC list home page: http://lists.stc.org/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?site=stclists&id=314350019
If you are an STC list manager, and you want your list to appear on the list home page, log in, open the List Admin menu, and open the List Info. Be sure the URL for the list is in the “URL List” field of the “World-Wide-Web URLs” section. Scroll down, and in the “Security of List Information” section, be sure the “Hide” field is set to “No, do not hide this mailing list.” The “Global” setting can be “No,” as it refers to a list on the Lyris servers that does not exist.
