Contact Us Page Fixed

I just fixed the Contact page form so if any of you were looking for a way to contact us, well there you go.

Website is Broken, I know

I am working on it …

Website Issues

We’ve upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, but this resulted in a few things (calendar, photo gallery, etc). Please bear with us while we fix the site.

Update July 21, 2008 @ 14:09: Everything fixed. Site is back to normal.

Rotary Liasons

We’ve posted the liasons to each Rotary Club on the About page. Whether you’re a Rotarian wondering who should be visiting your club or a Rotaractor wondering how you can get involved, check out the page.

Improvements To Blow Your Mind

In our quest to have the Coolest Rotaract Website in the World, I have been working very hard with site fixes and improvements. I will explain each of the site features below so you can understand how to properly use them.

Live Search

You may have noticed that the search box on the right sidebar has changed. To search, simply type in your term (try “bowling”) and wait. You do not have to hit Enter. You also don’t have to press a Go or Search button for it to work.

Live Archives

Click on the tab labeled “Archives” and you can see a dynamically generated page of all our posts organized by date or taxonomy (tags). Want to see every post tagged with the word “trees”? Well, now you can.

Improved Navigation

At the top of the page you’ll see small navigation text. It should say “Older Page 1 of …” Click on this and you’ll be able to quickly navigate through all our posts, by month. Click on Trim and you’ll be able to shrink the posts down to just the titles and date, fitting more on the screen. Try it!

Calendar (Agenda View)

On the right hand side, you’ll see our club calendar in Agenda View. I realize some information is cut off but it should still prove useful.  If you click on the date on the top right, it’ll open up a small calendar for you to choose a date from. You can use the navigation arrows to move forward and backward months. If you ever get lost, or can’t tell what date you are on, simply press the Today button. If you want more information about any of the events, click on the name and it’ll expand. If you need even more information, click on the “more details” link.

Photos

Our photo gallery has been broken for ages but now it’s back and is new and improved. No more remembering obscure Flickr URL’s. Just click on the Photos tab and you’ll see all our galleries. When you find a set you like, click on it (on the left) and then on a picture. Whoa, what’s that? Don’t be afraid. See the lightbox effect?

About Us

I’ve added officer profiles and pictures to the About Us page. I think it puts a more personal touch to the club and website.

Documents

I mentioned this before but we are adding meeting agendas to the Documents page. I have also added the Rotaract brochure and handbook for your reading. How many of you actually know the goals of Rotaract?

Fonts

I’ve changed the font to something I think is more readable.
