Scrabble This!

The Woods have a little passion. That passion is Scrabble. They play often. Sometimes they have lots of great words on the board. Sometimes all they can come up with is “can”. Either way you have been invited to join in on these games. Post-game of course. (unless you are in the greater Beverly area and want to come over and play).

We have created a new blog. It is called:Scrabble This! and it is a photo blog of each of our finished games.

This idea was born last night. Please travel over to the new site and check out last night’s game.

Gordonexus

I’ve created a new feature for our site. It’s called Gordonexus. Basically, it’s a collecting spot for links to people who are or were related to Gordon College at some point.

It’s linked up above, and also in the right hand nav bar. I hope that the page will make it into some search engines, so that Gordon people will be able to find each other on the web. 🙂 I, of course, make no guarantees that the pages will be useful, or even interesting at all. 😉

If you’re a Gordonite or former Gordonite and would like to have your site on the Gordonexus, just let us know!

Site Outage

prwdot.org and all of its services were completely down today from 10:25 a.m. to 11:35 a.m. EDT. The cause was a fire in the data center that our shared server is located in. The fire was effectively supressed, but the power was taken down as a precaution during the firefight.

Any email sent to a user @prwdot.org during that time period may not have been delivered, so I’d recommend re-sending any correspondence from during that period.

For those who don’t know, the prwdot.org website is located on a machine that is shared with several other websites. This machine is administered by Site5 Internet Solutions, and all of Site5’s servers are located at the Network Access Corporation data center in Parsippany, NJ. So when NAC has a problem, Site5 has a problem, and when Site5 has a problem, prwdot.org has a problem. 🙂

In any case, everything is back up and running just fine now.

Let me know if you notice any other problems.

Head’s up!

Well folks, I’ve gone and made a little change to the site. (with a wee little help from Peter)

I had fun creating this little addition and I think everyone may get a little smile from it.

Here’s the catch. You, the reader, must find this exciting feature. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of it. Good luck and Godspeed.

Housekeeping

Did a little housekeeping this afternoon. I updated the photo guide, so it now has our most recent adventures. Check it out if you want an easier-to-digest guide to what exactly is in our photo galleries.

I also changed around the names in the right side nav bar – they are alpha by last name now, and I’ve changed Will’s link from his older webpage to his more recent (and recently discovered by Becky) blog. I also added links to a few of the discussion board websites I frequent, as well as a link to the BeatBlog, a group blog run by Will and some of his Hillsdale cronies.

At the moment we don’t have any major site changes planned. Everything seems to be working well. Perhaps a few minor formatting tweaks, but nothing dramatic.

Keep visiting!

Rule of thumb

Rule of thumb… whenever you see a really long post by me at the top of the blog, there was probably a post by Becky just below it… so at least take the time to scroll down through my message to see what came before it. 🙂

Photo Backlog

For whatever reason, this morning I decided to export and upload some photos that were in my old gallery, but I never got around to putting back up in the gallery on my new site. So anyway, here are some old but new photo albums for you to peruse:

MRRA Festival Regatta (Corey raced in this with the Angry Fish)
Easter in Ohio 2002 (This was probably the last trip I would take without Becky)
Halibut Point (Becky, Jenn and I took a trip to Halibut Point in Rockport, Mass last spring)

On that note, if there are any photo galleries you remember being on my old gallery, and would like to see again on our site, please let me know! I will do my best to get them back up there. 🙂

Gallery

I’ve changed the way the gallery looks just a bit – now whenever you go into the gallery, the Peter + Becky picture disappears. It was looking a little too busy there with that picture and then the regular pictures from the album all cramped together.

Gallery Integration!!

Take a look at our photo gallery. Notice anything different? Yeah! Now it looks like the rest of the site! 🙂

I finally took two seconds to read the documentation that came with Gallery, and there’s a really easy way to do it… so easy that I had a ‘duh’ moment all to myself. Well anyway. There you go – a little Valentine’s treat for all our readers! 🙂

Enjoy!
