Site Update Ideas

2008-02-07T05:42:00Z

I come up with a couple of ideas while working on some updates that Betty requested. Let me know what you think

1. Setup our history file as a Wiki. This will allow users to make updates to our history. Or should just point user to Wikipedia?

Here is a Link to Wikipedia as my idea

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Algol_(AKA-54)

2. How about a mailing list where I send you a note letting you know that something has been updated on the site?

Let me know what you think. Here is my email address Cecil Bridgewater

Site Update - Dec 26th Minor

2007-12-27T05:14:00Z

I have turned on Captcha requirments when comments are posted. I have turned this on due to the SPAM comments being generated. I have been verifying all comments becuse of the spam bots and I have been getting 20+ comments a day because of the SPAMS bots. Maybe this will prevent the automated BOTS from wasting my time.

I also added in pages K and L to our Crew database.

Email Response

2007-12-14T06:09:00Z

Just to let you know that due to the holidays we may be a little slow to respond over the next three weeks. Please have a safe Holiday season.

Site Update - Dec 8th

2007-12-08T17:44:00Z

The following updates were made

a. Removed the Total chat link as we were not using it.
b. Added a forum area where messages can be placed. You will have to log in to save post any messages. I also have setup a ranking system based on the number of posts you make. You will earn a Navy Rating.

Site Update - Dec 2nd

2007-12-02T19:35:00Z

The following updates have been made.

a. While I was working on the new crew pages I noticed that our old Page G was not sorted in a proper order. This has been corrected.
b. Added in Page G into the Crewroster database being built. This will dynamically build our crew roster pages in the future. If you are interested in where I am at in this redesign here is the link to the names loaded. Currently this roster only lists the names in alphabetical order. I am planning on setting up similar to what we have now however it will be only one page versus the 17 pages we currently have. The 2nd goal of this crew page redesign will allow me to print out the crew list for Tony for the reunion updates.

site Update - November

I made a slight change to the photo gallery to only display a medium size picture versus the full size. This will allow you to see the whole picture on your screen.

I am on leave this week so I have some further ideas to work on.

USS ALGOL Family Recipes

2007-10-28T18:38:00Z

Mary Perkinson has come up with a great idea to create a book of recipes and provide copies to everyone at the next reunion. If you are interested in submitting 1 to 2 recipes please them to either Betty or myself and we will forward. I don’t want to post Mary’s Email because of the Spam bots out there.
