Google AdSense extension added - adsense acivated as a 2 ad box at the bottom of the left side navigation/menu blocks. Ads are NOT visible to users that are logged in. Also implimented diss-misable site notice. Good way to get quick news to visitors - but logged in users can dismiss the notice at their own option. Now, to see if I can put a dent in the power bill with ads - don't expect much, we'll see.

Upgraded to latest version of Mediawiki. In process, the software lost access to all the images! But, they're all still there. Working the issue.
- I think that gets them all back, the 'logo' and the background. We should be up to date!
[edit] 27 Nov, 06
Implemented Web Application Firewall for the Web server. Amazing number of attacks being deflected. We may not be as popular as we'd like as a ham site, but we're plenty popular as a target.
[edit] 28 Oct, 06
Site software updated again. There was one earlier update that didn't get posted here. Also re-organized the front page a bit - trying to keep it 'general' and less cluttered. We'll see. Added email reflector to navigation sidebar - re ordered the sidebar.
