About This Website

I code all the stuff on this website by hand using Macromedia Homesite 5.5 for all HTML and Bradbury Software's TopStyle Pro 3.1 for the related stylesheets. The HTML is coded according to 'Strict' 4.01 specifications, and all pages are validated using the W3C Markup Validation Service. That basically means that each page in this website should work properly and look decent in 99% of all of the different web-browsers out there.

The front-page news updates are posted and managed via Six Apart's excellent Moveable Type 2.65 web-publishing software (we'll probably upgrade to a 3.xx version at some point). Our webspace provider is iPowerWeb, and they've seemed pretty decent during the 2-plus years that I've been with them.

Website Version History

Mainly just for my own amusement, here's a brief list of the changes that this website has gone through.

1.0 - 07/10/04 The first version of this site was just a quick hack-job thrown together so we'd have something to refer people who saw us at our Golden Spike Days show.
2.0 - 07/25/04 Version 2.0 improved a lot on the look of the site, making everything look a lot neater and more organized. I decided to go for a really clean, simple layout, figuring that I could start with that, and then down the road I could easily add some more stylistic elements. We'll see how that pans out. However, the new layout also brought with it a bunch of incompatabilies with browsers like Netscape, Safari, Firefox, etc.
2.5 - 07/10/04 This version has been by far the most difficult to create, though it involved almost no changes to the way the site actually looks. The site is now coded to HTML 4.01 Strict guidelines, and should work equally well in just about any browser.

For future versions, there are two major changes I'd like to make. First, I'd like to move away from the current fixed-width layout to something a little more fluid. Second (and this'll hopefully be an ongoing task) I'd like to add some more style and 'character' to the site by way of graphics, colours, etc.
