TO: CASI ADMIN, CASILIST, NON-CASILIST Members
SUBJECT: New Website
Date: 12/13/98
I am proud to announce the relaunching of the Central Atlantic Storm
Investigators Website this evening with a new design that I have been
working on for some time. After 2 years, the old, lame front page is
gone and replaced with an interactive, dynamic page detailing current
and forecast Severe and Extreme weather. Please take a look.
http://www.weatherwatchers.org/
Several old sections have been deleted, temporarily, until I can figure
out whether I want to kill them permanently or not. Several new
sections have been created:
Weather Observations - Your Obs and Obs on the Net
Climate Data - Your Climate Data and Climate Data on the Net
Weird Weather - Coldest, Hottest, Aliens, North Pole, you name it.
Internet Education - Section not started yet, subjects can be seen from
the home page.
Divisions - CASI Geographical Divisions and Directors - North, South,
etc.
News - From CASI, World Weather News, and NetNews
US & World Severe and Extreme Weather - Current Stats and Internet Links
CASICAM - Page completely redesigned, have a look
*Not all the sections have been completed but all besides the Internet
section are partially complete. Most pages inside the site, other than
the new sections, have not been redesigned yet and will be done
piecemeal as I update them in the future. I have far exceeded my
original deadline for launching this site so I wanted to go ahead and
launch it tonight. I will probably hold off on announcing the new page
to the public through Internet Newsgroups and Mailing Lists until early
January when more of the content will be complete, Universities will be
back in session and people will be back at their home computers.
I NEED YOUR HELP:
Here's how you can pitch in and help with the new site.
1. First and foremost, let me know if you receive any errors or see any
typos on the new site. NOTE: I am aware that the links page
(/education/web.html) needs a lot of work, so don't report errors there.
;)
2. If any of you have your personal weather observations that are
currently on a website please let me know (see the new Observations page
for more info and examples).
3. If any of you post obs to the PSU User Observations Database please
send me the location of the city you post to (preferably the URL's like
the ones on the new CASI Observations page)
3. If any of you have Climate (monthly summaries etc.) Data on your
website or another website please let me know so I can link to it. Very
soon I will also have set up an area at which you can submit your
Climate Data to the CASI site but this is not complete yet. (see the
new Observations page for more info and examples).
4. If you have any other suggestions about the new Site's design and
organization please let me know.
Thank you for taking a look at the new site which is here to serve CASI
and the Internet. If you have any questions let me know.
