Website Updates

Submitted by kieran on Mon, 02/04/2007 - 5:41am.

All the websites are now back online. There are still a few issues to resolve and a few more features to add (see below) -- if you find other problems please let me know. There are a number of major changes, including:

  • New Jitsu Toronto site (http://www.jitsutoronto.com).
  • New menu (hopefully easier to navigate).
  • Updated Gallery software which adds a load of new features such as tags, easier uploading of photos, ...
  • New private messaging feature (kind of like e-mail but without displaying email addresses). This is available to registered members. The contact pages for users have been removed.
  • New "Recent Content" block.
  • New "Tags Cloud" block which uses text size to show the most frequently used tags.
  • Changed the Jitsu Site selection process. This will be a much easier "One Site" or "All Sites" selection. Still to do.
