He he - It is good to see that your getting along with yourself.  Those

> Efforts are underway to rebuild the POCA web site to provide more
> services to the POCA community.  To do so, POCA has brought in new
> technologies and tools to develop the site and maintain the content.  As
> with any good design and implementation project, the new parts needed a
> test mule to make sure that everything works together as intended.  At
> the request of the POCA president, the PCNC web master agreed to use the
> PCNC web site as the test mule.
>
> The test was successful, and as a result, PCNC now has a new web site.
>
> www.PanteraClubNorCal.com
>
> Though the old PCNC site looked good and had up to date content, the new
> site has several advantages.
>
> * The new site can to be updated directly by PCNC people without
> specialized tools or skills.  This removes the web master as the
> bottleneck on updates which allows him to spend his time on other things
> like making pithy comments on the De Tomaso forum.
>
> * The Events section now is much more robust and flexible.  There are
> more event details, venue information, and maps.  There is on-line event
> registration.
>
> * The old club store which had been just a list of products on a web
> page is now a real on-line store with catalogues, inventory control,
> shopping carts, on-line payments, and other goodies.
>
> * The current PCNC Newsletter as well as the 10 year archive of
> Newsletters is on the new site.
>
> * The links in the Links section are updated.  The Contact section is
> now visible to only registered and logged-in users to better protest
> privacy.
>
> * The PCNC eNews which is currently handled with manual processes will
> soon be managed and sent from the new site.
>
> Give the new web site a try today!
