Been busy the last couple of days making a significant update to our home page. The new Alumni News and Info section is created using the Blog software that is used for the site weblog. Each new posting has a title, date and time submitted, submitters name, and capabilities for comments. The latest listings appear towards the top, and are ordered by dates in descending order. These are separate from the site weblog, the site weblog will continue.
The right sidebar now has a calendar and search form for finding old news items. I’ve only added a few existing news items in the new format, so older news items are gone. But they should be preserved now and into the future (theoretically).
It was quite a drastic change, so there may be some glitches. I will correct them as I find them. Once it is working smoothly, the next task will to try and merge two separate login schemes so that registered users can submit Alumni News and Info items.
