Some progress on the website. Completed the In Memory section, added a boatload of photos into galleries. Still some more to do, but it is a good thing my internet is not limited by data caps. One can now comment on posts, pages, etc, using Facebook or Twitter accounts, or provide a name and email. The question will be – will we be able to fend off the onslaught of spam – I have added some tools to help, but we’ll see.
It took some gentle prodding, but I was persuaded to give this another go. Since the site needed major updates, and the cost at the previous host was not insignificant, I decided to take advantage of initial lower rates for 3 years by switching to a different hosting service. I also switched to a mostly WordPress based web-site for managing content. This will make things easier to manage, and I can take advantage of many available features as needed.
One major benefit is the site is now friendlier to mobile devices.
I was able to restore the posts from the old site. Many of the posts, like the old Yearbook Picture of the Week posts, will be missing the photo, and some links may not work. I might be able to fix those at some point, but not the first priority.
It will take some time to restore some of the other pages. I don’t expect the email directory to be back, it outlived it’s usefulness. I will restore the In Memory section. Yearbook pictures is another area that will be recreated in some fashion. Most of the sports info too.
It will take some time, but hopefully not too long.
Thanks to our supporters for funding the website hosting for the next 3 years:
