Website Updates - May 2009


I have been doing a little work on the website lately and in case you have not noticed let me point a few things out. The 2009-10 Tournament schedule is now complete and posted, along with a Calendar of all the "Racquetball Programs" held at The Alaska Club. I also moved all the 2008-09 season results to the Archive Page, Updated the "Past State Doubles Champions" and the "Past State Singles Champions" pages. One of the bigger changes taking place right now is that I'm once again moving all my Racquetball Photos to a new Website, The photos will now be hosted at "SmugMug" funny name but a very good website. From here everyone will be able to View, Download, Print, and even order so many different photo products, All without having to Join or load any program onto your computer. Once all my photos are uploaded I will be able to delete them from my own homepage and free up a lot of needed hard drive space. Let me know what you think of the new site.
