Our Webmaster, Steve South reported that he has now uploaded the complete new club's website to our server. It will run in conjunction with our existing site during this final testing period. While the site has already been tested satisfactorily using five popular browsers, members are asked to thoroughly check all pages and report any bugs.

Thanks to all members who have assisted with suggestions and advice in bringing this new website to fruition. Special thanks to Warren Wyllie for the original design concept and his guidance on colours and font selection, also to Bob Backstrom for tirelessly analysing and sanctioning every step of the design.

The new site includes these changes:

• Fluid pages adjust to fill any screen size
• Navigation menus always viewable (except for older IE browsers)
• Only news/content areas scroll
• Horizontal scrolling only needed with wide images
• Direct, one-click links between all pages
• More current page content and pictures
• More colourful logo and mini-banner
• External, SIG related "Quick Links" open in a new window
• Site search box installed (will be redirected to new site on changeover)
• Sydney and Penrith weather forecasts - 2 hours to 15 days
• All page coding validated to W3C - XHTML Transitional standards.

We hope you enjoy using our club's new website and will visit often. Go there now and check it out. http://www.sydneypc.com/indexnew.html

Note: Steve has advised not to click on the new site's HOME link during the testing period as it will take you back to the old site. It's not a fault - just the way things work!    jl

How to get Office Ultimate 2007  Its a total steal at $75.00 AUD and it is perfectly legal, of course there is a catch you need to have an e-mail address ending in ".edu" , if you know a student/academic with one and will allow you to use it, run your mouse over the 'Am I Eligible" link for more information.   If you require discs it will cost another $16 AUD approx., but still a cheap offer considering Office Ultimate 2007 costs approx. $979.00 AUD.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please remember if your e-mail address is changed for any reason at all, unless you tell me your new address then you will not receive these weekly updates! Any change of address should be notified to changedetails@sydneypc.com

This is one of the rare weeks when there are no SIG's scheduled, so until next week, health and happiness

Cheers

Elaine
