Hi Folks,

The time has finally come when the redesign and reorganisation of the new website is ready for release.



==Revised items==

* The naming and composition of the Sections have been amended, along with the design and code used to construct the pages.

* Membership form — this has been redesigned into a downloadable pdf. Accessible from <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/about/membership.php>

* LMSCA Rolling Stock summary <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/stock/>



==New features==

* Sitemap — To help you find your way around <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/sitemap.php>

* Search — Provided by Google custom search <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/search.php>

* FAQ — Could the answer to your question be here? <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/faq.php>

* The Railway Engineer — selected articles originally published in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — featuring LMS Coaches, LMS Constituent Coaches, LMS Competitor Coaches, and various aspects thereof. <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/lms-coaches/articles.php>

* Links — C&W Depts — Aiming to list Heritage Railway C&W Depts with a web presence. <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/links/carriage-wagon-depts.php>



==Future developments==

* We hope to enrich the content on the website, especially with information about LMS Coaches and to communicate various aspects of Carriage Preservation. If you are interested in contributing or have any other comments please contact us. <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/contact.php>



==Other notes==

* All the old page names ending in .htm should link to the relevant new page ending in .php so please update your bookmarks/favourites, and links if you are a webmaster. A summary of old and new pages is here <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/sitemap-old-new.php>.

* I have yet to update the projects pages (7828, 2741) with more recent information regarding progress. Please be patient while I compile this ready for publishing.

* The Carriage Exchange website is still as it was, but has moved to <http://www.lmsca.org.uk/carex/>, and is also hosted at <http://www.carriage-exchange.org.uk/> as before.

* I will be sending an announcement to several lists today, so you may wish to wait and see if my message comes up before posting to any lists that will find this of interest.



Best regards,
Michael
