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.
New Genealogy Site Live
April 30, 2007
Okay, my new genealogy site is live. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
As stated before, I usually my genealogy website primarily for the display of information. This new site is based on the TNG (The Next Generation) genealogy software. It seems to have a much nicer user interface and more sleeker look. Of course, I have massively tweaked the look for my taste.
My main genealogy tool is Family Tree Maker which I use offline. The data is then uploaded to the site for folks to peruse. I get a lot of feedback from the site. Folks provide comments, corrections and a lot of questions about whether or not we are related. It’s fun stuff.
I still have more to do on the genealogy site as that is only a weekends worth of work. Of course, I need to add a bunch of data too. If you had an account on the old genealogy site, I haven’t moved those accounts over yet. I need to investigate whether or not that is possible. Worst case, just request a new account on the new site. If you are not a user and logged in, you will be limited as too how much information you can see. A lot of the date is private for registered members only as a security precaution. I contol who has access.
As always, if you have any comments or feedback on the new site, let me know. And if you want to help with the research, let me know that too.
