use the compass rose to navigate the site
General Website info/comments
  • We've created many of our external links to open a new browser window when you click on them. Our publishing software requires that we use javascript for this. You may notice that you get an error message in the bottom left corner of your browser screen saying that the entire page didn't load. If you have pop-up blockers turned on, the javascripts won't load. In order to get the javascript to work, you may have to reload the page and allow javascript.
  • We've had reports that the compass rose is acting funny. It will get big and then immediately disappear. Abe and I have only been able to recreate this in browsers other than Internet Explorer. We test only the site using IE version 6.0 and so don't know how it looks using Netscape or Mozilla, etc. We have noticed that Opera does have problems with the java scripts. One day we'll get around to looking into other browsers. But for now, we recommend using the latest version of IE.
  • We've tried to include pictures with the journal entries at the time of journal posting, but we're not always that together. The pictures that are in the Photo Album are, for the most part, different pictures than those you will find in the journal. Due to ease of getting the photos up, I like to wait to do one entire album at a time, and that means waiting until I have enough to publish a decent-sized album. The journal photos will have to hold you in between the new albums going up.
  • You can navigate the site using the compass rose for our major pages, or use the links at the bottom of each page. When updating the Latest News page, we try to include links to what we've updated to make it quick to find what's new. These will obviously change each time we update, but you can still find all the historical info.
  • We try to update every 2 weeks with something new. It's not always possible, but we try. Not sure that we'll be able to as internet cafes become more and more infrequent. That's the goal, though.
