WEBSITE UPDATE

My webmaster and I have updated my website to include some additional articles and features. I provide the material and she does the amazing stuff of slapping it on the site so you can see it. Her part is way beyond me and I thank her enormously for being so willing to do it. Good webmasters are hard to find and she is excellent (if you need one) and the fact she lives 750 miles down the road matters not. She’s as close as the telephone.

You’ll find new material under the new heading “Kanopolis”. There is also good material about bison under the heading “Odds and Ends”.

If you run your cursor over the map of Ellsworth County, you will see another county site, in addition to Blue Skyways, that was built by some high school students. They have done a splendid job on it and continue to improve it.

We’ve also added the USD #327 school website (which is down at the moment) for your easy access. School students also constructed it, but I think Bernie Schulte, and maybe others, may work on it this summer. Those are difficult to design and a bear to maintain. It will be an excellent resource for various schedules for athletic events, programs, school schedules and holidays, etc.

I’d still like to have comprehensive articles on the history of the Midland Hotel, Kanopolis, Holyrood, Lorraine and Carneiro. I don’t have time to research and write them so if any of you care to do that…pick one of those and research it and write an article…I’ll put it on my website and be most appreciative of having that information to share with others. It would help a lot to round out the information I have about Ellsworth County and make it more inclusive. That has always been my intention, but I just don’t have the time for it.

There is still some room left before I have to jump up to another category with my host, MetaPros. I have something over 15 M in place now and have a little way to go before I start to consider what to leave and what to take down or to jump up a notch (which costs me more money every month).

Websites aren’t just something you post and then walk away from as they require constant updating. There in lies the challenge. I’m always open to suggestions on mine and welcome your input.

We couldn’t ask for a more perfect day than we have today. The rains last night and the sun today …and the absence of wind…combined to make this a glorious day. We appreciate such days, particularly after some of the windy ones we’ve had where we had to hang on to something to keep from blowing away. Ah! Kansas.
