When I first joined the club last year, I felt the need to get involved somehow. One of my former hobbies was web design and I volunteered to take over website duties and build the club a new, more interactive website. After countless hours of setting up databases and customizing code, I revealed a fresh new club website, soon thereafter realizing that the web server that we were on was was unable to fit our needs. I found a new home for our website that could keep up with our growing club, using it as an excuse to start over with the website and correct some of the inadequacies the first one. After a week of late nights installing databases and more code customizing, I brought out the second, more refined version of the original, keeping the good parts while improving on what wasn’t so good, and adding some nifty new features. I had a blast working on it and enjoyed all of the positive feedback but sadly all good things must come to an end.

As some of you may know, my wife is about to give birth to our 2nd baby girl. With the addition to the family, and the increasing workload from my job and other personal commitments, I am resigning as the clubs webmaster. Stepping up to take over is the one and only Robert Cole, who some of you know as the clubs unofficial Photoshop tutorial guru. I will still be around to help out while he gets the hang of things, but he is now officially the WAPC Webmaster.

If you are at the January meeting, please let Robert know that you appreciate what he is doing for the club.

The website is in good hands.

   Daniel,

   Thank you for all you have done for the club. Having this great website is exciting, and really enhances the clubs commication with members and the members ability to communicate with each other. It is difficult to communicate photography without a website. Now all I need is a few more hours in each day.

   Carl

   Yes, many thanks, Dan, for all your time and work. The site is 200% better for your volunteer effort.

   And, Robert, good luck and thank you for stepping up.
