Hi all, For the past several months, I have been working on redesigning my web site, www.dwaynemeisner.com . As most regular users know, over the last couple of years I added a lot of information to the original site. Unfortunately, the original site was never set up for this, which made things a lot harder to accomplish. The new site has entire new look. However, the original software that runs the family tree portion of the site was kept intact. It turned out to be a large undertaking, as there are over 1600 pages that make the site work... Some of the new features are: 1. A drop-down menu panel at the top edge of each page that allows access to the family tree search engine, the census search engine, and the new BMD search engine (see #3 below) no matter which page you are viewing. 2. The census and BMD pages now load one area at a time on demand, rather than loading all areas at once, which speeds up the loading process tremendously. 3. I have implemented a search engine for the BMD section. It works just like the census search engine you are already familiar with. 4. All census, BMD tables etc. have a new filtering feature. The new feature filters names rather than sorting the columns. This makes it much easier to quickly find the name you are looking for. 5. I have added several help files to make the site easier to use. 6. Our wedding photo album has been completely redesigned. 7. Our wedding DVD page has been completely redesigned to allow full screen viewing. 8. The vacation pages have a new slideshow viewer, with built in Twitter and Facebook buttons, so you can easily share the pictures. 9. The cemetery section has a new viewer as well. 10. I have taken advantage of the new CSS3 standards to make the pages have rounded corners, shadow boxes, transparency, etc. 11. The whole site now uses the whole screen, rather than the fixed size it was. This means it is easier on the eyes, and less scrolling. 12. I have incorporated a photo/document file upload section, so you can share your files you would like me to host on the site for you, similar to Steve Ilium's photos of Yarmouth County. 13. And much more.. I would appreciate any and all feedback about the new site. A lot of the new features that are here are because of the suggestions of you, the users. I am sure I may have missed a thing or two, but I will be fine tuning things on the live site over the next couple of days. If something isn't working right, please let me know. I have only posted this message to the Nova Scotia Request , NSROOTS, and Lunen-Links lists. I would appreciate it if you are a member of the other county lists here in Nova Scotia, please forward this message to the other lists so everyone will be aware of the changes. Thanks, as always, Dwayne
