Definitely good work, Cindy! You did an outstanding job navigating and
taking care of a tricky task. After the site is migrated, you should be
able to add banner photos back in (pretty sure your template has that) and
hopefully others can help you with further tweaks and updates. It will be
fun to see the website continue to evolve.

*Subject: *[hcasboard] HCAS website migration status
Hi Everyone,
The migration of the HCAS website is in progress. A couple of days ago,
the website was copied from John Sawyer's server to a temporary location on
a GoDaddy server. (The official website on John's server is still up and
running.) This allows the website to be tested on the GoDaddy server.
Changes can also be made. After testing is complete, the website will be
moved to its final location at GoDaddy and the steps will be taken to have
the web address "highcountryaudubon.org" point to the website on the
GoDaddy site instead of the one on John's server..
Please review and test the website before these steps are taken.
Here is the link for the draft website on the GoDaddy server:
https://5pw.435.myftpupload.com/.
(If you go to highcountryaudubon.org now, you will be accessing the
website on John's server. After the migration is completed,
highcountryaudubon.org will point to the GoDaddy website installation.)
It was necessary to make a few changes to the website. See info below.
Some obvious outdated information was changed as well. Unless any
significant issues are discovered during testing, additional changes to the
website will be made later -- after we deal with the immediate need to get
the website migrated to a new location.
Necessary changes:
1. The plug-in that allows for revolving images on the home page was
causing a problem. The home page was simplified. (

2. GoDaddy does not provide a free email address tied to the domain, such
as contactus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. We could pay for one but for now we
are going to use the existing email address highcountryaudubon@xxxxxxxxx
for emails from the website. The email address is provided on the "Contact
Us" page. If someone clicks on the address on the page, it will initiate
an email to highcountryaudubon@xxxxxxxxx. I have gmail set up to
auto-forward emails to highcountryaudubon@xxxxxxxxx to my personal email
address. I can do the same to have the emails auto-forwarded to Guy. (

If you find any problems with the website or if you have any questions,
please let me know.
Cindy
