Newsletters Online!
Thanks to the Newsletter Editor, we now have downloadable copies of
every newsletter goin' back to 2000. Right here, online! Hopefully we'll soon
have the November newsletter online and a more timely posting of them going
forward. Yes, I know that the picture representing some of the newsletters
doesn't match the issue, but for now, that's where we are at.
I'm working on changing the format of the page so that all of them are available
on one page, rather than multiple pages. I'll be sending out an update before
this occurs, maybe even a survey to see which ones you like best before
implementing. Basically, no more picture of the first page, just a clickable
link is the idea. Send me a message if you have any thoughts.
More Awesome Photos coming soon to the Picture page!
Again, thatnks to the newsletter editor, I now have about 500 more photos to
post! Still working on that. Check back soon for more info! (prolly sometime in
Jan 2011).

New Page!
Hello from your webmaster!
I started this page to keep you informed of goings on around the website and such. No political discourse. Hopefully no random rambling on...
That said - let's get to it!
Website Updates.
I've recently gone through the majority of the website and completely updated it.
I am attempting to give the entire site a common look and feel using updated
code available since the website was created. Other than a few tweaks, you may
not notice much of a difference. That's good. Just know that "under the hood",
there is a ton of updates made to make the site easier to read, faster to load
and more compatible with most major browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla,
Chrome, Firefox, Opera).
Of course, some of these changes might not work in older browsers - I
am working to mitigate that. So, if you notice a page that doesn't look right to
you - let me know please.
As always, if you have a question or a problem viewing any pages on the website,
please shoot me an email at
webmaster@saacnw.org.
Classified Ad form is working... again...
While I was updating the site, I found out that sometime recently, the
Classified Ad form stopped working. There are a number of technical reasons for
this but the gist of it was to protect Yahoo! from malicious hackers. So I fixed
it and the Classified Ad form is working again. I don't expect any futher issues
with it as I've completely rewritten the code that reads the data you input to
prevent any problems Yahoo! might have. So, get to submitting those things you
need to sell!
Pictures!
I am working on a way to easily send me photos you've taken, both for the
Picture page and for Classified Ads. Our website provider doesn't make this an
easy task, but I have some code I am working on to make this feature available.
For the time being, the only way to submit photos is to send them in an email or
bring them on a flash drive/CD/computer to a monthly club meeting. I'm bringing
my computer to the meetings and can save them to my hard drive.
Search added.
Recently added the ability to search the site. Check out the links to the
Search Page in the navigation menu to the left, and in the
mini-menu at the bottom of the page. Check it out!
Any questions, concerns or problems, send 'em to webmaster@saacnw.org!
