Welcome to the new EdnaBayAlaska.net website!

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 10:14:23 PST

EdnaBayAlaska.net - your new offical source on everything Edna Bay. We have moved the site to faster, more advanced servers. I can now expand the site far beyond where it is currenly. I had to disable the Guest Book and the Visit Counter, but I will have my own versions of those tools programmed and back online as soon as possible. In the mean time, you may visit the original site and sign the Guest Book there. Be sure to update your bookmarks to reflect the new address, and subscribe to this feed. I cannot transfer RSS subscriptions; you will simply need to re-subscribe. Keep checking back! More updates are on the way.

Links page updated

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 10:38:11 PST

I have added a link to the local Edna Bay DiPaolo Technologies website. The new West Coast United States development center is located in Edna Bay Alaska.

Places page is now completed!

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 00:45:02 PST

I have finally finished the Places page. You can now check up on community events that take place around the bay, and see places related to the community. Click the link to check it out!

New images - and an massive overhaul of the Image page layout

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 24:57:31 PST

I have updated the Images page with lots of new images, and I've completely redone the code for the page to accomidate a new thumbnail based viewer. Now, the page loads much faster, and the images are easier to see. You can also see them in larger-than-normal sizes by maximising the popup window that each image is contained in. This works very well for the taller images, as it makes it appear that you're looking out through a large window that you can look up and down in. With the new popup system in place, it makes it easier than ever before for me to add new images to the page - so expect them a little more regularly from now on.

The only thing that you need to view the images is a JavaScript compatible browser - which will not be an issue, as all major browsers natively support JavaScript source code.

I hope you enjoy the new images, and the new layout!

History page update

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 02:19:17 PST

I have updated the History page with images from Edna Bay's past. There are 4 great images from 1965 during the logging boom now included in the page - they give a great presentation of Edna Bay's roots as a logging community, and show what was the beginnings of a wonderful community just getting started.

Site address change, update info and site layout changes

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 15:29:07 PST

The updates for the site will be more often for a while. I have some new information and photos to put on the site again - soo I'll be doing my best to deliver them to you. I'm making small updates all over the site - some of them you might not notice because they are in the Scripting of the page where you can't see them.

I would like to inform everyone subscribed to this RSS feed, that the Edna Bay website will be changing URL's in the time window between September 15th, 2007 and October 30th, 2007 - if all goes as planned. The website will be switching providers to a faster server system, with hopefully more capabilites for me to take advantage of, and for everyone to benefit from.

I have also updated the layout of the site - from a visual perspective. It now looks more uniform.

The new updates to the Java Scripting on the site have improved it's layout. The site now looks almost identical in Windows Internet Explorer 7 to the way it does when running on the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) standards adhering Opera browser. The new layout is the way the site was always intended to be viewed - and there are still some small bugs that are present. The bugs that remain simply cannot be removed due to technical limitations of the Mozilla core that Internet Explorer runs on. The way the site looks now in Internet Explorer 7 is the way it has always looked in Opera - it's just taken me some time to work around the flaws in IE7's rendering system, to make the site run smooth under IE7 with it's original intended layout.

For the best experience on the web, and for viewing the site (and receving updates) - use the Opera Internet Browser (www.Opera.com).

Thank you for reading! I'll keep you up to date on what happens next.

New Updates Coming Soon

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Sat, 19 May 2007 00:39:02 PST

I have new updates on the way for the Edna Bay website. I have more images on the way, and I'm getting ready to start work on the 'Places' page. Summer is finally upon us, and I'm going to get out and take pictures off all the significant locations in the bay - just for that page. I'll be making updates and changes to the site very soon - or as I have time. Thank you for your support, and thank you for subscribing to the RSS feed.

Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7 Compatibility Adjustment

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 02:42:31 PST

I've reworked the core components of the site to accomidate the new Windows Internet Explorer 7 browser that is included in Windows Vista. It had previously experienced problems when viewing the liquid CSS layout techniques used in the sites design. The site now scales back it's display fidelity to accomidate the current status of the browser, and it's inability to propperly render W3C certified CSS web pages. I hope this problem wasn't keeping anyone who upgraded to IE7 from using the site - and if it had, you can now safely view it again.

For optimal functionality and performance, please use the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) compliant, high-speed Opera browser, which can be found for free at http://www.Opera.com.

New picture(s) added to the Images page - site updates added

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 00:49:08 PST

I've added many more new images to the site, including more wildlife images that visitors to the Guest Book have requested. I've also added a traffic counter to the main page, and updated some of the pages.

New picture(s) added to the Images page

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 18:29:02 PST

I've added a beautiful image of a sunrise in Edna Bay to the 'Images' page. Check it out!

New picture(s) added to the Images page

I've added two new pictures to the Images page: one of a Taquan float plane landing in the bay on a perfect, calm, summer afternoon, and one of Entrance Island that was taken in that very same float plane. Click the permalink to check them out!

RSS Feed XML now formatted with XSL

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 02:27:19 PST

The XML RSS 2.0 Feed is now viewable without a subscription, or a browser that accepts subscription to RSS based XML feeds. I'm now using the cutting edge XML-XSL Style Sheets for XML styling. This allows any browser, and any user, to view the contents of the RSS document without subscription. However, I would preffer that users subscribe to the RSS Feed for the most up-to-date info on the site.

More website updates

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 01:42:51 PST

I've updated the History page with some more refined information. Click the permalink to check it out. I have more pictures on the way for the Images page, and I'm currently gathering photos and information from around the community for the Places page. I've updated the webcam page interface, and the general aspects of each page layout for a rounder, smoother appearance. I'm in the process of creating a thumbnail viewer for the Images page aswell, so that soo much bandwidth isn't required to view the images. Thanks for subscribing to the RSS feed!

The website has been completely revamped

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Sun, 30 Jul 2006 17:49:02 PST

Click the permalink to check out the original look, and then go to the http://ednabayalaska.net/ address for the new site. I hope for it to be a much easier to use design that will work on any PC at any screen resolution. I also want it 100% optimized for search engine exposure. This is using the latest CSS Liquid layout techniques for a dynamically adjustable website layout that accomodates any screen resolution with uniform display results. The dimensions of the content will remain the same on high or low resolution displays. The Layout is dynamically attached to the website content files through use of DHTML and JavaScript. This allows the original site design to still be used, while at the same time creating a rich framework that does not effect the coding, content, or design of the original site.

Website now natively supports low resolution displays

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 19:22:13 PST

The website is now multi-browser compatible, and can be viewed on even very low resolution monitors. The start page for the website now auto detects the screen resolution and browser type that the client is using, and auto-loads a resolution optimised version of the frameset. The website now adjusts to users on limited resolution displays by rendering at 800x600 and 640x480 natively, aswell as the high resolution 1024x768+ native version of the frameset. Now anyone can browse the site, including Web-TV owners, Nintendo DS Browsers, PC's connected to their (HD)TV's via S-Video, aswell as old PC's with limited display capabilites. The website should now be accessible by anyone with an XML/XHTML, CSS, Frameset 1.0 compatible and JavaScript enabled browser.

New image(s) added to the Pictures page

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 17:41:09 PST

I have just added one new image to the pictures page. Click on the permalink to check it out!

Note: The link will lead you to a frameless document. In order to make the frame set reappear, simply click the 'Reload' button in the top right corner of the page.

Removed 'Other' page tab

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 14:13:02 PST

I have opted to remove the 'Other' tab and page because of it's apparent redundancy and non-necessity. I will instead add an 'Options' page and tab to the page at a later date that will supercede the placement of the 'Other' page and button. The content being developed for the 'Other' page will simply be added to the lower half of the 'About' page, since the content I intend on adding fits closely with the design intention of the 'About' page.

New pages under construction

Admin.EdnaBay@starband.net (Tyler M. Poels.) — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 18:09:13 PST

I am currently starting developement on two new pages for the Edna Bay website.

I am working on a 'Community' page and an 'Other' page.

The 'Community' page will contain information and photos of key locations and functions that are located and happen around the community of Edna Bay. This includes but is not limited to community gatherings, buildings, people, places, key locations, attractions and services. I will try my best to get a small working version of the page, aswell as a new navigation button, added to the site as soon as possible.

The 'Other' page will contain misc. information on how I solved difficult to overcome issues and problems discovered during production of the website. I will share my solutions to these problems with anyone interested by adding the information to this new page. Two problems that are difficult to solve and near impossible to find solutions to even using Google, that will be included on the new page are: "How to capture still images from an IP Network Camera and automatically upload them to an FTP server on a timed interval", and "How to eliminate the horizontal scroll bar in Internet Explorer 6 on an XHTML Frameset document". Other information will be added to the page over time aswell. The 'Other' page will be completed as soon as possible, but for now the "Community' page is at the top of my priority list.

Check back soon for the new updates; or if you are a subscriber to this RSS feed, simply wait for your browser to notify you of the updates!

Thank you for your support and interest in the website.
