Over the last couple of weeks some site improvements have been made, most notably the
gallery is working again. I've installed new software that is much simpler and works, unlike the previous software. Most all of the albums have been moved over. With over 6000 photos this took quite a while but look for more photos to be added soon. I've already found some old discs that contained a lot of photos from
Bug-a-Paluza 5 and
Bug-a-Paluza 6, so those are added now too.
If you'd like to contribute photos to the gallery, you will need to use an FTP client. Connect to
ftp.volksfolks.org with username
pictures@volksfolks.org and a password of
pictures. Simply create a new folder for each album you want to add and upload your photos. I will then import them into the gallery.
Other new features include a user bar along the top that lets you log in/log out from any page on the site, notifies you of new personal messages, and has some handy links. The
homepage has been slightly redesigned to look and work a little better.
On the
events page, there are buttons to the right of each event that lets you export each event to Google calendar or download an iCalendar file, which can be then imported into Outlook or iCal.
There's also other various changes and improvements around the site, you might notice some if you look hard enough.
