Well it’s finally launched and available to the public, I hope you like the layout and format of the new website 
The idea of the new site is to use a blogging style format that keeps you up to date on events and somewhere were members can make comments and suggestions on car club activities.
At the very top of the site we have some navigation to Membership info, ‘The Hub’ magazine, Gallery and About. These links are permanent posts to things like the membership form, past issues of ‘The Hub’ and the photo gallery as well as information about the RCCA. Another new link will appear there as well in the coming week to such things as Motorsport/CAMS info.
In the side bars to the right of the main posts is a Feature Content area which will have links to premier articles. Below that is the Upcoming Events list, Site Search and RSS Subscription link and also RSS feed from the Renault Aussie Frogs forum.
There will be some tweaking of the side bar and the site in general over the next couple of months but the layout of the site will remain as is, unless everyone dislikes the site and I start from scratch 
The core of the website is using an application called Wordpress. This application is open source and has many great features that we will be using in the not too distant future. Mass mail-outs, RSS feeds, feature galleries and user subscriptions are a few of the features so keep coming back regularly as the new site will be more dynamic and play a much more important role in 2009 and beyond.
If you have any suggestions or feedback please feel free to do so, I hope you enjoy the new site – Jason
