Website release v1.8

This is as close as you can come to a major over haul and still call it a minor release.  Where to begin?  Menu system may look about the same but I have overhauled the internals and it’s now strictly a one level category system. The concept of a bulletin category no longer exists as I felt it was superfluous.  Instead, content from the bulletin posted to the front page is tagged – you can reach the tags from the post header data area below the author name. By dropping the bulletin category we get a cleaner category system and for oddball cases like this post use tags. I’ll add a tag cloud to the sidebar in the future.  A user friendly breadcrumb now lives just below the secondary menu.

Speaking of the sidebar it’s the other major change. ‘Explorer Your Faith’, ‘Categories’ and advertisement spots will only run on the home page.  This will give us faster load times and less cruft for static pages that see lots of activity like Contact page and improve the experience for the vast majority of our users. Also, many thanks to Teresa Major for leaving a comment tonight that the ‘Mass Service Schedule’ had a number of incorrect Mass times.  Without her help it would still be wrong with a bobble head like me at the controls.

SEO work continues unabated in this release and Nicoletta’s weekly article is slated for a face lift in the near future.
