Our website was created in February 2001. It started as a simple website with basic information and a crude game result page that had to be updated manually. Since then content has grown and major improvements added such as automated Game Results and Event Calendar. Today there are over 600 current or historical pages.
Upgraded several times over the years. The last major upgrade was in 2013 which implemented then-current technologies including ‘cascading style sheets’ which control the look and feel of a website. The upgrade took about 4 months.
The current upgrade implements now-current technologies including ‘responsive design’ which automatically formats web pages to fit the size of the viewing device. It took almost 9 months from inception to completion.
Usage has climbed steadily over the years. In 2013 we passed 1 million visits. Today we have about 15,000 visits a month and have had a total of almost 1.9 million visits since inception. Not surprisingly, Game Results are the most visited area of the website.
Alan Templeton has been the webmaster since its inception. A retired software developer/manager, he thought it would be an interesting thing to do. He never anticipated it would become almost a second career. Alan looks forward to sharing some of his duties with other people which is now possible with our new website.
