Subject: [MG30] New MG30 web site -please move over!

Hello MG30 group members…

The MG30 web site and Google Group has been moribund for a year or so. This follows from me moving on from MG30 ownership.

I had hoped I had handed over ownership of the web site and the group, but this has not been realised. Part of the difficulty may be that the old site relied on obsolescent technology (iWeb on a Mac) and also required a FileMaker database. It was also complicated by having this separate user group in Google Groups.

To address these problems and in the hope that I will eventually be able to hand this over, I have converted the web site to use WordPress, which provides modern and evolving web site and posting capabilities, and I have merged in the posts from the Google Group.

The new web site is to be found at the same address mg30.antipole.co.uk although you will find the layout very different. All the old user postings will be found on the new site under the Posts tab. The new site has public read access, including to the posts, except to the Member’s area.

To make your own posts, comment on posts and access the Member’s Area you need to register on the the site. The registration link can be found at the bottom right. I will be moderating registrations, so once I am afloat there may be delays. I hope to recruit a deputy administrator in due course. In addition to the MG30 Register, members can also maintain a page for their own boat. I will endeavour to associate old postings and comments with their authors, once they have registered with the site; meanwhile they are owned by admin.

So… please go to the new site and register. Bear with me during any teething troubles - I have not run this registration process before. I suggest that feedback and discussion take place on the new site rather than the old Google Groups site. See you there!

Tony
