<html><div>Greetings to the Kingdom of Ansteorra,</div>
<br>
<div>I wanted to let you all know where we stand and how we are
progressing as regards the new web site and kingdom server. I will
not bore you with mundane details, but the new site is up and
running. Some of you have expressed concern that certain pages are
not appearing or files are being reported as "File Not
Found". All I can tell you at this point is to be
patient. The process is going as fast and as smooth as it
can. Pug is doing the best he can, but these things take time and
some problems are out of his control. I honestly do not know all
that must be done to get the server operating at peak performance, but I
do know it can be tedious and time-consuming work. </div>
<br>
<div>As for the design and implementation of the web itself, I can give
you an idea of where we are headed, but I cannot give you an exact time
table. Currently, my regional virtual scribes and I are trying to
set up their groups' sites so they can better facilitate the transition
from the group's ISP to the new server. While I am not sure when
this will actually take place, pages are being set up for each group that
will display contact information so people will still be able to contact
the local seneschal in case problems occur. I have also modified
the old groups page and made a link to it. You can still find this
page on the groups section of the site.</div>
<br>
<div>In the not-too-distant future, I want to build sites for all
kingdom-level offices. This is a large project to undertake on my
own so I will be asking all of you to help if you can. I am not a
Laurel, Pelican, nor am I Knight or Rapier or Heavy or any other type of
fighter. I am not a Seneschal nor have I held any other office
other than the one I hold now. What this means is that I am not an
expert in these areas. While I can design something that looks
good, I still do not know what really needs to go on this page or
that. Someone with extensive Marshal experience should design that
part of the web. I can certainly help when needed, but the content
is foreign to me. The same holds true for any other part of the
site you find as "This part of the Ansteorran web coming soon."
including the Orders, Heraldry, and forms sections.</div>
<br>
<div>Once things have settled down a bit, I will begin the creation of a
site map, message board, and image archive. I have also rolled
around the idea of setting up a general archive of images, old html
files, and any other files for our future reference. These ideas
are far in the future. </div>
<br>
<div>Also, I wanted to mention that all of the files that were on the old
server are on the new server and all are active. If you access the
site and some of the pages are "Not Found", I again ask you to
be patient. The files really are there. They are as current
as I can make them, and I have done all I can to ensure the information
you want is available.</div>
<br>
<div>Thank you all for allowing me to serve Ansteorra. </div>
<br>
<br>
In Service,<br>
