Hi All,
I've been making lots of minor changes all throughout the NASG web site.
Thank you all for providing me with up-to-date and corrected
information. I really appreciate the help. I pretty much work in a
vacuum here, so I need everyone's input.
Tonight I added Roger Nulton's "Seniority Rights" photo to the Scale
Modeling page. Thank you, Roger, for the great model, great photo, and
for so graciously allowing us to use it on the site.
The great photos "donated" by all are really showing that S is still
alive and vibrant.
Be sure to check out the "New Product Announcements" section of the
"News and Events" page, because there's been lots of S-related news lately.
I've been working on the Online Membership Directory feature of the site
over the past week or so. As previously stated, you can view and
optionally update your own membership profile information. I recently
added the ability for you to change your password for the Online
Membership Directory access (once you've signed up). Tonight I added the
ability to view NASG membership statistics. These show the number of
members, how many members are interested in certain aspects of the S
world, etc. I may add more statistics down the road. These are
automatically pulled from the Directory's database, so you will always
get the latest information. Of course, this section requires that you
are an NASG member and that you have registered for online access.
I think this completes the first wave of updates and needed features of
the site since its rebirth at the beginning of the month. There are
still plenty of things on the to-do list, so stay tuned.
I don't plan on announcing all changes made to the site to all the
various Yahoo Groups every time there's an update. I encourage you to
join the "nasgmembers" group on Yahoo, where I do post update notices
(see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nasgmembers/). If you want to stay
up-to-date but don't have a Yahoo account, see the RSS feed on the NASG
web site's "News and Events" page. Click on the orange icon on the "Top
10 Recent Web Site Changes" header or at the bottom of that section. In
that section, I've also added a link to the excellent Model Railroad
Hobbyist video tutorial, explaining what RSS feeds are.
Claude, the NASG Membership Secretary, mentioned to me the other day
that he's been quite busy with all the updates and renewals, so I'm glad
that the new NASG web site, at least partially, has increased interest
in the organization.
Thank you,
- Peter.
