OUTSTANDING work. Me thinks we'll keep you around.
Very nice Walberto.
Pic page sounds like a good idea also.
How about a visitors sign-in page?

OK, So I got a little bored at work today, and made a couple of changes to the site. Please take a look, and let me know what you think.

You see, I do listen to comments and suggestions. :lol:

Changes:

1. I have added a Visitor Sign In Page

2. There is a link for you to see for yourself who signs in, and comments to our page.

3. You will see a link for a Photo Album which I'm working on.

Enjoy!!!

Yep, this is great stuff. We'll get some pic's of the last few events, and will encourage everyone to take more (flattering, patronizing, blackmail? 8) ).

Ya know, my digital camera will take short mpeg video clips also. Maybe catch the Warden keeping everyone in line...

Thanks Walberto!

Couple of things I don't particularly like- but that's just me, and I've been told before that I'm different! lol

1.- LOSE THE CHEESE- I never have or never will be a cheesehead.
2. With the background (backgrounds are notorious page time killers), the animated gif on the top, and the cheese wedges, my little ole dialupm connection takes awhile to load the page- makes for very few return visitors if they have to wait- fast load times are worth more to folks than bells and whistles.

3. Change the fonts you are using to a more common one- the fact that the site builders computer has a font doesn't mean that the site visitor has the same font loaded on their computer- pick a common one- tahoma, verdana, arail, etc.

4. I have a very big wisconsin chapter pic when I made in photoshop that I can send you to do what you want with- make big, small, chop it up, whatever. Quality is getting kinda rough on the copy of a copy of a resize of a copy- it would come out much clearer.



Please don't think I'm critisizing your work- I know how much work it is to set up a site, and the time you have put into it is MUCH appreciated. I learned on the fly by myself 6 years ago, and learned quite a bit from my F-ups- If there is anything you need help with, don't hesitate to shoot me an email.

THANKS GBERT!!!!!

Riley, No offence taken!

This is why I asked for feedback on what everyone thought of the site. I manage the Website for my Company, and I understand that there is a difference between Business website and personal fun site. I can change it with no problem, and that is why I said that the page will change continuously, becasue it is a job in progress.

However, I do appreciate your feedback, and I will do the approprate changes as time goes.

Thank you for your help, and I am sure that I will take advantage of your offer to help soon.

Thanks,

Walberto

Hey Smoken Joe,

I can't not seem to find a problem with the email, and I ran a couple of test from the link. Perhaps it is a setting on your end. In any case the email at the website is...

Smoken Joe,

That is not a problem. It is a very common problem, and if you follow the instruction i'm including, you should be ok.

Good Luck,

Gbert
