Website Updates Feb. 1
No job and cold weather means website gets attention. In addition to new yearbook covers in the last post, some pages that were part of the old website (pre-2017) have been restored. The Yearbook Dedications, Ontario High School, Wayne Middle School, and Walworth School pages have been brought back to life. The Contact page has also been fixed (sorry, I did not know it was broken). I visited the Internet Archive (I can’t believe this exists), and was looking at the site from 2016 and earlier. I put so many hours into getting it working just the way I wanted back then. Despite the fact I will probably regret it, I made some tweaks were made to the styles, as there were some things I wasn’t happy with on the current site. There could be a few issues I haven’t found yet. Though using WordPress has made many things easier, they hook you in for free, and then everyone wants to charge you monthly to get the “premium” features, which conveniently include things everyone wants/needs.
By the way, don’t be alarmed by the “not secure” warning in your browser when visiting this site. We aren’t doing any financial transactions here, so it’s not an issue. To get that removed, it will cost another couple hundred a year. I don’t think it is justified.
Thank you for all you do to make this website work. In 2018 I lost all my yearbooks to the Paradise, CA “Campfire”; the whole town burned down. Since then, I have tried to replace my yearbooks. I have, 1969, 70, and 71. I am still missing 1972 and 73. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Holy cow Deborah, I am so sorry to hear that. I couldn’t believe the devastation when we saw it on the news and on PBS Nova. I do have 1972, and I hope to digitize it one day. I do not have 73, but hope I can borrow one to scan. I do check eBay on occasion and have bought a few there. If I see one I will try to remember to let you know.
