Thanks for the support you guys. Most of the complaints (comments) were just asking what happened to it but there have been several that were very critical. It's kind of discouraging but someone once told me that if the site wasn't important to people, no one would bother complaining. I try to keep that in mind and interpret both positive and negative comments as compliments.
When you are used to one format seeing something different can be disconcerting. As I mentioned, I had the same experience when I installed the new forum software 4 years ago. I can only imagine the flood of comments and complaints that major sites must get when they do a redesign.
Despite a few problems, I'm thrilled with the new CMS (Content Management System). Look at the Local Weather page. It is a good example of how I can drop in modules that do just about anything. Last night in about 10 minutes I created the webcam modules and dropped them in to that page. I'm not too artistic so the ability to easily create and arrange modules is a wonderful way to create pages and add content.
The module concept will allow all pages to evolve as I think of new content. I'm still learning and getting used to it but I'm excited about the potential. I'm already working on a new integrated links and classified systems and you'll be hearing more about that soon.
