FINALLY! The new website homepage format is up, and now so are the Message Boards. Please post all of your comments here as to what you think of the new website design.
Once again, I ask for your patience in giving me time to update the homepage with new content. I have had one short lesson in the new software, and I am STUCK in neutral. I think I can edit a few things, but I'm not able to put up anything new where I want it. It won't take me long to learn. I'll make an apt. with Matt to come over for a marathon learning session.
I am also going to start a different discussion for reaction to my Widow's Blog.
The homepage layout looks great as I said in the e-mail where you and Matt have been struggling for days to get this message board part working the way everyone is familiar with. Tons of work but it looks fabulous.
I must say I struggled the last couple of days not being able to access the message boards. I don't post much but come here every day. As I have told many people over the years, "My online support group has saved my life many times."
I also couldn't get into the message boards until today but figured it would come so was patient. The new look is great! I also come here every day but don't post much.
Glad that the message boards are working fine. The new design is so nice but I spend most of my time here. Hoping that maintaining the site is now easier for you.
Joan, The website looks great!! I love the look of the homepage and all the updates. You and your team did a great job. I'm glad the message boards are back up. I've missed reading them and connecting with my fellow brethren. Its a fresh, new start.
Joan The Main page is beautiful and well organized. Even computer dummies like me should be able to find their way around.
The best part of all this is that you've found something to keep yourself busy and take your mind off the sadness you've been through and at the same time I'm sure you realize how much you are contributing to the well being and happiness of so many others.
Welcome Sadness. We all know how you feel. Everyone here on this website does. You will find a most supportive community here, with both support and suggestions. Maybe most importantly you will find a community that will keep you from feeling all alone in the midst of this abysmal illness. My partner too is probably in stage 6. Most recently her speech has begun to make no sense at all. Feel very free to respond to any of the messages. Feel comfortable starting your own discussion with issues that you are currently facing. Other members will soon be here to greet you as well. Joan, our administrator, has newly updated this website and will have weekly blogs that are designed to be a jumping off place for discussions. Hope to see you on this website again soon.
Welcome aboard Sadness, though my DH (husband) died 2 years ago I still read all the new messages every day. The support you will receive here will be very helpful even if in knowing you are not alone.
Hi Sadness. You have landed in a safe place here. You can share, ask questions or just come to vent as needed. We will not judge. We all "get it". I like your screen name. It describes all of us at one time or another.
Yes, Sadness...............These friends here did so much for me in my time of need. Maybe we can do something for you. Please tell us more about your situation.
Welcome sadness now isn"t that a funny thing to say we all have been full of sadness and wish we could get rid of it! Seriously welcome sadness as Wolf has said to the club that nobody wants to or should ever have to join. However this has been my lifeline and I hope it provides you with the same support it has given me.
