UCCA Internet site...
University City site… more than a site!
Please, notice, some features of this site may not be accessible depending on the configuration of your operating system and/or browser, namely animated clipart, forms using ActiveX or e-mail links.
October site news
Beside chasing typos (!), a few
extras have been added this month
to the UCCA community site:
today’s date in the upper middle of
the page; banners of animated ads
on the left and in the bottom of the
page (thank you for your patience,
Terri!); calendar of events that can
be edited by the community online;
classified ads that can be posted
again by the community online and
a search engine for the site and
the web. Please, try the calendar,
the classified ads and the search
engine, it is easy!
To implement these
new features, applets
have been used from
Bravenet, at http://
www.bravenet.com/,
free of charge. For the number
crunchers, to this date, the site
represents 58 pages, that's 257
files in 12 folders for a total of 21
Mo and... 981 visitors.
September site news
It has been about 2 months since the 17th of June when our new community site www.uccanews.org went online.
By mid September, 755 visitors checked out the site. That is about 7 a day, far from the unique visitor per day of the previous site! Twenty-six percent of those visitors are
returning visitors, that is, visitors who have previously visited the website. An image being worth a thousand words, please, see the graph here below and... be
that special 1000th visitor!
For the geeks, the most frequently used U.C. community
screen resolution, operating system and web browser are respectively 1024x768, Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6.x.
Many thanks to Sarah ANDERSON, the Standley Recreation center director, who sent the pictures and the information on the recreation related pages at http://www.ucca-news.org/recreation.html; to Connie and Matthew K. WUEST for the very first picture sent by U.C. residents and published on the site; to Chris HEARN for sending over the link http://www.fbcsd.com to the site of the First Baptist Church; to Faedra SICK who sent a classified; to Sandy LIPPE for taking great pictures of the 4th of July Celebration; to Sandy LIPPE again and Terri DAY for chasing typos (like lightning in... Christmas tree
lighting!)
Thanks as well for voting. 83% think Swanson pool should stay open year round and 17% - it should close 3 months. For now, the Will Faeber Band comes first with 59% of the votes. Please, continue to vote.
There have been though less contributions in 2 months with the new than with the previous Internet site, may be because of the hot Summer months or... the new richer interface which may appear intimidating with its 51 large, colorful pages.
