Updates
01/18/08: I have contracted for new, updated web servers. The
first one is installed, and, as soon as I am finished testing the server,
I will be moving our Region 3 site to the new server. We should see improved
performance, and I will have enough storage space availble to continue
the historical transfer and updates from the old site to our new format.
The move should be transparent, with no downtime.
Other upgrades available soon will be webDAV compliant show
calendars to allow users to update their local schedules with our show
information.
The CFA Gulf Shore New Site
It has been a long time coming, but we are finally here with a new site. The site had an overall plan to be easy to use and navigate. It is also important that it will look right on YOUR computer. I have taken a great deal of time and effort to try to accommodate the various systems and browsers that have been visiting our site.
Without getting technical, you can control text sizes displayed, plus we
accommodate all normal resolutions from very small screens (some horizontal
slide bars may occur on a 14" monitor) up to the newest 24" wide screen LCDs.
The new site was fully tested on a wide variety of current and obsolete
browsers (including Opera 9.x set for small screen which emulates Opera-compatible
hand-helds) and found to be very viewable and easy to navigate. Soon to
come are special show calendars and current events you can download into
your calendars or view on your cell phone or BlackBerry.
All of the data files from the old site have been down loaded and carefully preserved on my local system. Over the next few weeks, I will be going through all the data and putting up more information on our site. The older information with little current interest will be placed in an archive directory, thereby maintaining the tradition of having the largest, most informative and BEST regional site in CFA.
It is a great honor for me to be Webmaster and caretaker of the CFA Gulf Shore Region 3 web site, and you can be assured that I will continue to find ways to make the site better and more interesting for all our users.
Please direct comments for changes or improvements directly to me so your
Board of Directors can be assured that we are presenting the information
concerning Region 3, our Clubs and you in a timely manor.
I hope you enjoy the new site, and look forward to your comments and suggestions.
