Web Site Update
Notice: As of 23 April 09 our web site has moved to a server at a new host and for the rest of the summer the web site will be under construction. This old pages will not be updated, but converted page by page to a new site.
When I get them reloaded, the new host's server should load the forums and photos much faster. The inelegant functionality is still the fault of the webmaster, please be patient while I learn.
For the next few months:
1. Please visit often and offer suggestions.
2. Don't bookmark the URL of any specific pages, as they will be changing. Just go to WWW.AASKISNOWBOARD.COM.
3. Be on the lookout for obvious permissions errors. The new site will have levels of permissions. If you aren't the A-Team Captain, let me know if the site allows you to edit the A-Team Captain's page or send out newsletters. Perhaps we don't want someone who just signed up to have those abilities?
4. Take this quiz:
A. I use a Facebook, MySpace or Twitter account regularly. Y/N
B. I know the difference between FTP and SFTP. Y/N
C. I have over 1000 .jpgs, can find them, and could tell how many MB they each are.
D. I have a desktop computer and a laptop computer; and use a 1/TB external hard drive to back them both up.
E. I have more than 5 email accounts and have my email program st up to check them all.
If you answered YES to any of the above and are interested in helping administer the web site, let the webmaster know via the Contact Us form on the right
