Cruise Talk Central Getting Noticed Again
May 17, 2008
I know I have said this before, but our Cruise Talk Central site continues to grow in popularity. You have probably heard in the new recently about the lady that went overboard on the NCL Dream Ship. Well, yesterday Suzanne wrote a blog article about the incident.
It has been a popular post in terms of number of people viewing it. In addition, if you searched on the CNN.com site for information about this tragic incident, our site/post comes back as the number one page. CNN has sent us quite a few visitors over the last couple of days. Thanks!
Every week and every month, the amount of traffic on Cruise Talk continues to grow. To combat the increased demand, I plan to move all of my domains, including Mr Papa’s World, to a more capable, powerful box. I am not changing hosts or anything just getting a better box, so hopefully, to my readers, the move shouldn’t even be noticed.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but between a new contract award at work and our church asking me to put together a website, I have been busy. If everything goes well, I hope to get a family update post up tomorrow after Sean’s baseball game.
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…
