04.28.08The Site So FarBy May 1st, the site will be complete. Yay! One of the major new changes to the site is that the BASS logo is now visible on the top right of every page.

There are about 6 graphics or so that need to be created for the site - one for each page. But before those are created we shall input the rest of the data into the various pages of the site and have an online membership application ...

04.19.0890% Capacity and RisingTo pull a number out of my...uh...head. I'd say the site is now at 90% running capacity. There is one major bug left and a possibly minor problem with a font color, but other than that, the site is running smoothly. I'm so happy! As you can see, Robin already posted an article below. We'll be posting more meeting times, commentaries, news, and interesting info as time goes on. Don't forget to subscribe to this blog via RSS using the link at the top right of this page. I'm excited!

04.17.08BASS Site Update #2Okay! So we still look like nothing has changed, but that is not the case! We are almost done with the plug-ins. The 2 plug-ins we are still working on are the Events Calendar plug-in and flickr gallery photo plug-in. BASS has its own flickr photo page where we post photos relating to BASS. If you have flickr, add us to your contact list. Also, note that we now have a favicon of the BASS logo up there to the left of the site URL. Once those two plug-ins are debugged, we shall move on to Phase 1.5: minor tweaking of the ...
