How much do you remember about "Rock and Roll"?
09/30/11 04:22 PM Filed in: General Interest < > Nostalgia
Did you know that you are part of the “Doo Wop” generation? A friend from my previous “corporate life” sent me an email that contained the elements of a quiz called the “Doo Wop Quiz”. I was able to take these elements and create a “Doo Wop” Quiz page.
If you want to test your knowledge in this area, click here to take the test. At the bottom of the test page, there is a link to an answer page.
Good luck!

About 90% of Yearbook digitized.....
09/15/11 07:42 PM Filed in: Web Changes/Additions
I have been testing some scanning products, and during this process, was able to digitize about 90 percent of our yearbook into PDF files. Since creating PDF files can become rather large. Because of this, it was necessary to break the files into sections.

Back up and running........
09/11/11 08:26 PM Filed in: Web Changes/Additions
After some technical help from the “Experts”, I think is performance issues have been solved. The issue was caused by the number of photos that the website contains. You may find a different format in which photos are displayed, but other than that, the layout remains the same.
If you encounter any problems, let me know. Use the Contact Page if you like.

It has been uploaded to the server for final testing.
Here are a couple of things that have changed:
- New layout theme and color scheme
- Revised Contact Form Page. It can now be easily accessed from the navigation tabs.
- Photo features have been consolidated and streamlined. I had to cut back on the total number of photos contained in the site, but will periodically rotate photos where needed.
I invite you to take a look and offer your comments, especially if you find link that does not connect, etc.
