Cruise Talk Central Redesign
May 20, 2007
My internet connection got stable enough for me to launch the redesigned Cruise Talk Central today. My speed still sucks, but at least it held long enough for me to do the upgrade.
I redesigned the site to allow for easier navigation, more straight forward grouping of information and to give Suzanne a place to upload some videos of our cruises. Plus, I wanted to give the site a more professional look. If you get a chance, please stop on by and let me know what you think. Thanks to those of you who helped me beta test the new design before the relaunch.
Incidentally, some time in the near future, I will probably add a video capability to Mr Papa’s World so we can put up some family videos. I need to spend a bit of time on the rest of my sites which have been neglected the last couple of minutes while I worked the redesign. I also owe one of my net buddies Bernard some time on his site.
158th Website Relaunched
April 6, 2007
Sorry for having been mostly silent lately, but I have been hard at work relaunching my America’s Army clan site, The 158th Regimental Combat Team.
Our clan has used the same basic site design for the last 18 months. It was time to do something different. I spent the last couple months coming up with a new design. The previous design was dark and very AA related. I wanted something less dark and more professional looking. Hopefully, I have accomplished this.
Another goal of mine was to change the site CMS from php-nuke (yuck) to another system. I chose WordPress, which this site runs on, for the new CMS. It has better security and is more efficient. It also gives me the ability to add some new features that while possible, would be more difficult to do in nuke.
If you get a chance, stop by The Bushmasters and let me know what you think of the new site.
Next on my list of things to do is a complete redesign of the Cruise Talk Central website. The traffic at that site has picked up considerably and it’s time to update the offerings we have there for our visitors. The new site will look less like a blog and more like a full featured cruise fan site. Stay tuned for more details…
