NEW LOOK HOME PAGE

Richard has been hard at work to give the website a new look on the home page, by grouping things together and re-arranging the page headings in more priority order.

We will also give the whole home page a new look – but that will happen after Vienna and we will also ask input from our visitors.

When the page was originally created, it was done just to have something to start with and now that we are up and running and with a lot of info on the website, we can start with a new look and experiment a little. I think we are the fastest growing website of the OGAE clubs and we could not have achieved this without the help of a lot of dedicated people. A big thank you for that.

The Makemakes will sing I Am Yours for Austria

BIG SURPRISE

I woke up to a huge SURPRISE this morning, seeing finally a FLAG COUNTER. I have wanted this on the website from day one but was unable to create one. Now Jeff joined the team a few days ago and he did a fantastic job to make this dream come true for me. So after one day, we can see already some great statistics – already people from about 48 countries have visited the website with visitors from RUSSIA taking almost 50% of the visiting statistics.
