Various website updates

[Jeff Jilg]

Ever wonder what the latest website updates are? I usually post a summary here:
website news

That link is also on the left menu on the home page! I also cleaned off some of the clutter from the bottom of the homepage and moved it here:

Thanks, Jeff

Great effort on the pix, and very much appreciated by those (including me!) unable to go to Florida.

Jeffs Symposium Work

Jeff: I agree with Mark and Pam. Outstanding job. I was a the meeting and it is like going back to Orlando, seeing your pictures. Thanks.

Hi Y'all, thanks for all the kudos. I had to color correct about 1/3 of the photos to get decent pics - that's why it took so long. Maybe next year I'll get a helper and have them hold a neutral color backing behind the subject.

Overall, these are a nice reminder of Orlando and another piece of history recorded on the website. There are some inspiring pieces in there. It is fascinating to see the work that people can do with wood.

Today, I'm reformatting the Product Order page - and will post it by Sunday. I'd like to implement an actual shopping cart but that will take some planning.

(Added Friday 9/3) The online product orderform has been updated. Folks who enter new orders will see the new order form.

To be safe, I built a couple of "demo" pages so you can see the old form and the new form....but there is no way you can accidently enter an order in these demo pages. I removed the submit button from these so you can safely view how the change will appear.

old order form - demo page
New order form - demo page

Longterm, we need to have a web shopping cart. But this should help in the nearterm.

I have a long memory and if you are at the 2005 symposium in Kansas City I'll take you up on the offer!
