We’ve relocated the website to a new location. With the move, a couple of things have changed:

• There’s much more space for pictures available
• The forums will become a blog. (You’re reading it now.) This will allow for a couple of different things:
  • (1) People with news readers or the firefox web browser can get automatic updates.
  • (2) People can comment directly on the items that interest them.
  • (3) Information posted will be more ‘findable’ online overall once it’s indexed
  • (4) Registration for commenting won’t be needed (Administrative users will still need to be registered.)
• There’s a new guestbook. The posts from the old one have been archived and will be re-added to the new one for legacy purposes.

Everything should be working properly before the weekend. (This mainly means adding Paula as an administrator to everything, so she can keep up the wonderful work she has been doing for all this time.
If you happen to find something that’s broken, please email Richard so He can get it fixed ASAP.

Addendum: Paula is once again installed as adminstrator, and has already been busy adding several pictures to the site!
