Phase 2 is commencing - A major re-organization of the data Sections and Categories followed by uploading new articles from the current kvmr.org. Onward thru the Fog - (::) 12 Aug 2007
This is not the main KVMR website- Yet.
It's Just a Test at KVMR.NET. The Main Site is at http://www.kvmr.org
Information here IS NOT current or correct and will be full of TyPoS and The Like. We KnOw ThIs!
Also, it looks like hell in Internet Explorer due to the delicious way
that particular travesty mangles so called Style sheet Logic.
Actually it still looks like Hell even in proper browsers like FireFox,
but that's an artistic issue after all : )
Menus
The menus will are changing;
Top Site Links
Added direct Listen hi & lo speed links to the Home, Schedule & Join links which are the primary points of contact to KVMR's web site and online presence
Department Menu
Replacing what was named the Main Site Navigation Menu will be the Department Menu which will provide links to the main Business department pages.
Site Portals
Will remain as the main set of links to pages of main Listener/Audience interest
Site Help
Will remain as a set of links to help pages about web site use
The site is Evolving, and we hope intelligently.
This latest change reflects nearly ten years of KVMR.ORG's changing presence on the Internet.
A recent radical change is towards "Content Management Systems" which moves the burden away from a traditional webmaster to the actual creator of the text and images you see to produce CONTENT,
and leaves the webmaster to artistic endeavors of navigation, PRESENTATION and layout.
We are engaged in extensive testing of a vey new and powerful so called Content management System so as to better use the labors of our webmaster by diverting the content creation effort to those who produce the actual information you find in the site and allowing some of the nearly two hundred people who have items of interest to be better able to Publish that...
We have settled on a derivative of the well-known CMS called Joomla!
which is an open source project similar to systems in use for hundreds of thousands of dollars at far larger instutions.
It runs on Linux servers on Art of Logic's own hosting system in Arizona & the UK, and uses PHP scripting and the MySQL database delivery system. NO Microsoft was used in this process
Many, many THANKS to hero John Button, the real Webmesiter of KVMR.ORG, to Mikail Graham for testing & feedback, to David Levin for his encoragement and tech evangelism and to unnamed many whose 2 cents worth really are worth orders of magitude more in valuable feedback and suggestions for improvements
