Webpage Upgrades |
| |
|
| |
- I've removed the old slideshow slider and
replaced it with a front page full width video that plays when you
first come to the website giving our webpage a more up
to date look and feel. Just click "Top" (rightside menu)
if you missed it getting here. Using the website is the
same as before, choose any of the menu buttons, scroll down
or click the scroll down chevron in the middle of the
screen which autoscrolls you to the next section on this
page.
The
video used can be of anything but shouldn't be too
large a file size, at present the file size for this
video is 30MB
- incorporated the new DAC banners into the page's
background default road image
Constructive comments are always welcome:

Old Presse Newsletters Added |
| |
|
| |
Thanks to
Mike Nilson for scanning and uploading some old Presse
newsletters.
I have added links to them on the
Presse ePresse Archives
page.
The above link is also always available by
clicking "Sitemap" on the right side
menu and then click the "Presse ePresse Archives" link |
| |
|
| |
Website Upgrades |
| |
|
| |
I've made a few minor upgrades and changes to the site
in the last few days:
- replaced the background image
for the main page to, as Rick Creuzburg put it: "An
inviting road scene with blue sky!"
- changed the
font colour for the right hand side menu links to a
lighter more visible colour
- included clickable
"scroll down" chevrons at the end of each section of the
front page that when clicked take you to the next
section down the page
- wrote some new code to
automatically reload a fresh copy of the website
everytime you visit the website. This way will ensure
you're viewing the most recent version of the website
- included the rightside menu missing link for "News" on
the "Members" page
- Any "Upcoming Events" will now
be pinned to the very top of the "News" section under a
yellow headline stating "Upcoming Events" and will
remain there until the event is over at which point the
event entry will be moved furtherdown the "News" section
to join the regular yellow dated "News" items. Any
yellow dated "News" items will continue as before and
now appear below the "Upcoming Events" listings.
Comments are always welcome:

Yup, you're looking at it

address.
Please change your
bookmarks/favourites on your respective devices to the
reflect the new address "dac1958.ca". In most cases,
simply find your old
existing DAC website bookmark, right click on it and
change the "URL" (website address) to the new one
