New look should help updates

You may have noticed a little bit of a new look here. You might not have. But whether you have or not, things have changed and hopefully for the better.

For the past few weeks we've been searching for a better way to update the site quickly. It looks like we've finally found it. Both the photo galleries and stories can now be posted with relative ease and quickness, which should make updates much more frequent.

In the past I was the only one able to update the site because of the way we did it. Which was horrible. It was horribly slow because of all the steps we had to take. But without much time and limited resources it was probably the best we could do.

Now that I found a little free time here and there and was able to come up with these new methods of story posting and photo posting things will be a lot better for everyone involved: the viewer and the staff.

The photos are larger now and not cropped to one certain size anymore. They should also load quite a bit faster.

Stories are now archived automatically and are searchable. We have archived all the basketball stories from this season, so they are all searchable. If I can find more free time, that's a big if, I will look at archiving the football season for searches as well. We'll see.

So stay tuned for more frequent updates, not just one a week. Better than staying tuned, subscribe to our RSS feed. Just click on one of the several orange XML buttons around the page. Once you're subscribed knowing when the site is updated is as easy as getting a new e-mail.
