When Luke and I acquired the site a little over a year ago we had plans for a quick upgrade to get the site the necessary changes that would spruce it up. While I have no idea the technical details on web work (Luke does ALL that) he was quick to realize the site was in a technical shambles. He basically told me if we did our original plan it would be the equivalent of painting an '87 Chevette to try and make it look better but still running like crap. A new plan was formed that would create a new platform.
Luke has worked tirelessly on this in the background creating these new pages and platform to make the changes that will have FH running clean and trouble free for years to come.
Two member stepped up for the site. Sean Mercer (Bl8ant) and Eric Lapointe (lapointeric) both had a hand in the design. Sean did the popular new logo and Eric the new Main Page (http://www.fish-hawk.net). Hats off to them for their work, it certainly was appreciated.
So what's new?
We now have a Main Page instead of just a forum. As you'll see it will have a "Feature Report" that will be rotated as new cool reports make their way into the forums, that's our way to showcase you guys and what you contribute to the site! Like we've always said, you folks make the site!
Off the main page there is a "Resources" page that houses MNR stuff, weather links and other helpful links. You'll also find a "Tournament/Clubs/Events" page. A calendar will show you month by month where and when all events are within a 90 minute drive of Ottawa.
Another cool edition is the Navionics Web App embedded right into FH. Click on that banner and Navionics loads mapping right to your screen for you to peruse the mapping!
What's next? A break for Luke...
He tells me that the forum change is coming that will work off the same platform that he's created. Timetable for that we haven't decided but that is next.Thanks for your support of FH!
