SITE DATABASE CONVERSION 5. NEW URLS ------------------------------------------------ 1. NEW MESSAGE BOARDS I've just installed a *major* upgrade to the message boards, and the response has been great! The boards have a new look, new engine, and a ton of new features. If you're already a member, go in and check them out. Be sure to update your profile, as there are some new options for you to choose from, such as adding your own picture to your profile. If you're not a member of our message boards, head in there and sign-up - it's free. Of course, you are always free to post messages as a guest. Our message boards can be found at: http://www.christianguitar.ws/cgi-bin/boards/YaBB.pl ------------------------------------------------ 2. TAB REQUESTS I've spent a good deal of time today cleaning out old requests from our tab request list. However, there is still a TON of songs in there. If you have any of the songs, or you can figure them out, please go ahead and send them in. You can e-mail submissions to submit@christianguitar.ws or you can use our web-based form to send them in at: http://www.christianguitar.ws/submit.htm ------------------------------------------------ 3. NEW TABS E-MAIL One of the newest features on the site is a new e-mail list you can sign-up for. By signing up to receive this new e-mail, I'll send you an e-mail every day that we add new songs to the site (which is almost everyday). The e-mail is very short, with pretty much just a list of the new songs that were added. As always, your e-mail address will ONLY be used for this list, and it won't be given to anyone else. To sign-up for this list, go to the bottom of the page at this address: http://www.christianguitar.ws/newtabs.htm ------------------------------------------------ 4. SITE DATABASE CONVERSION The database conversion of the site is still rolling along. The [bass] and [praise] sections are complete, and we're now working on the [christian] section. As of this writing, the letters A-E have been completed. I expect the rest of the conversion to be completed within a few weeks. As I've said before, this won't affect you much, but it'll make the archive look a little better, run a little faster, and the searches will go a LOT faster. Also, it makes it a lot easier for me to add new songs to the site. ------------------------------------------------ 5. NEW URLS We've purchased a few new URLs for you to use. We'll always be at www.christianguitar.ws, but these are simply alternate ways to reach the site. You can now get to us from: http://www.christianguitar.org/ and http://www.christianconcerts.ws/ ------------------------------------------------ Have a great month, and feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions or problems with the site. IHL, Mickey mickey@christianguitar.ws http://www.christianguitar.ws/
