Several changes to the website

Greetings,

I'm still waiting for information for the Hooters Tour. Sometime this week or next, I'll get a package with the information I need. Until then, I'll keep my tentative schedule off of the website. Once I do get it I will put my schedule on the website. Currently you can see a table in the sidebar that refers to the 2006 Schedule. This is where the actual schedule will go.

The table in the sidebar is only one of many changes that I've made to the website in the last few weeks. The first change I made was the overall look of the website. This new template gave me some better options for adding links, adding tables, and a more desirable look. However, I have heard that the website is difficult to read because of the dark background and the lighter colored text. This is where another change to the website comes in. I've added a poll in the sidebar that asks whether or not you like the new look. Please answer so I know how many people like or dislike the new look. You can also just leave a comment for this post about the new look. Feel free to post the comment anonymously if you don't want me to know who dislikes the changes.

Other new changes include a hit counter that is on the bottom of the front page. This will keep track of how many people visit the site. I've added links in the sidebar that go to the Hooters Tour website, a page with some pictures, and a page where you can sign my guestbook. I ask all of you to please sign my guestbook, especially if you visit this website regularly. You can sign it privately if you only want me to read it.

One more change is a subscription service that you can sign up for. If you do this, your email will receive a notice when I update this website. All you need to do is type your email into the space in the sidebar. You will then receive a confirmation email making sure that you want to activate this subscription. You activate it by clicking on the link in your email and then you're set.

The final change is that many of the post titles are now links to results. Going back to the summer, you'll notice clicking the title will take to to a webpage with results from the tournament.

That's all for now. I will update as soon as I get the package from the Hooters Tour. Until then, please sign my guestbook, take a look at my pictures, and subscribe to the website if you want to be notified.

Neil
