Website Changes

Posted by Michelle in Website Additions - (0 Comments)

I’ve made some changes to the website to allow for a few different things…#1 being that additional members of the Society may help in adding information to the website (more information = better website) and #2 being easier navigation for visitors to the website. 

Under the “Categories” heading in the right-hand column of the page, you will now find subject headings for each item added to the website.  This will allow us to add multiple subject headings to our website information.  I’m hoping to start clearing my desk of all the fun “tidbits” I’ve been saving from old issues of the newspaper. 

Oh…and the picture that now adorns the front page of the website…is a picture that I bought off e-bay from an auctioneer who found it at an estate sale.  The caption reads “Lake Metonga”.
