I spent some time today updating the software which makes this website possible. While doing so, I ran across the files of the CCCGC website as it looked in March 2006 when this new site was created.

- A Few Website Revisions
A few minor revisions have been made to the website. A brief description follows:
The sidebar was getting cluttered as the number of links have grown. The links have been placed on a new categorized list located on the old lists page. It can be accessed by clicking "Links" on the top navigation bar. The list of links were then removed from the sidebar and other items reshuffled to reduce scrolling.

- Email Not Working?
There have been several complaints that when the email address on the Leadership Page is clicked, they are unable to send the email.
Often when you click an email address on a web page, the Outlook Express  window comes up and attempts to open your email client. If you are using AOL and if your email is not associated with Outlook Express, the email will not work.

- Sign-up and Get Email Notification of Site Updates (Reminder)
Sometime ago, I placed a sign-up area on the website so all members could be notified by email of each new post to the website. As of now, there are only 3 subscribers (including me). I think it is a valuable tool that can keep you informed and lessen the need to phone the CCCGC office.

- May Computer Drawing
As a fundraiser to provide the money to obtain parts for the rebulding of computers for donation, we are building one computer each month and offering tickets to the membership for $5.00 each. Your chances of getting a computer for $5.00 depend on the number of tickets sold.
Only members of CCCGC may purchase tickets, so if you are a visitor to the site, and would like to participate, please join.
You can buy tickets for the drawing, and apply for membership at the CCCGC Office. Click the Maps/Meeting tab in the top navigation bar for address and directions.

- Switch to Firefox
Today, I loaded this website into Internet Explorer 6.0. It was a surprise to say the least. I knew that IE6 was not standards compliant, but had no idea that fact could so adversely affect the rendition of this site.

- Home Networking
My good friend, Bruce Von Deylen, former member of the Elkhart (IN) PC Users Group (EPCUG) wrote an excellent article on Home Networking Essentials: How to set up a small computer network while retaining your sanity.
- Website Organization
This website is new and it is still evolving into whatever it may eventually become. That sounds like a statement that Yogi bera might make, but you get the idea.
Please comment, as others have done. I will try to accomodate wishes as the structure of the website permits. Some of the changes I've made since my last post:

- What's Next for the Website
Most of the information from the old site is now available on the new site. The priority is now going to switch to updating pages describing the Officers and Directors, publicity of the many Educational Opportunities offered in the classes organized by Larry Hurley, attempting to increase membership by including an application form on the website, and describing the benefits of membership and publicity of the fine job CCCGC does in the area of community service by providing computers to those in need.
- CCCGC History Available Again
The History of CCCGC compiled by Francis "Mac" McGillivray has now been brought over to the new website. As previously mentioned, this is one area that was moved pretty much just as it previously existed. The pages are the same pages that existed.

- Website Translation Available
Many members and guests have relatives in other countries. Perhaps you know someone who could benefit from some of the computer knowledge available here but struggle with the language. Or perhaps visitors from other lands who happen upon our website would like to learn more about us.
