More News on the Site Design and Reconstruction

I wanted to let everyone know that the site redesign is progressing. I am sorry to report that it will take quite a long time to get it finished. My sites are not small ones. Especially TLTH Main Site and Becky K's Graphics will take some time to get finished because of all the pages.

I can promise the wait will be worth it because my visitors will find some new stuff available.

I have made some further decisions on how the new site will operate after the reconstruction is completed.

First.....I will be changing how news and updates will be handled. I have said I will starting a new forum after the reconstruction is completed. Well, it will be as a result of the reconstruction and will be operational within a couple weeks after the reconstruction is completed.

The forum will house the news and updated for all sites. My reasons for doing this is to make things easier for visitors and myself. With the new forum, it will be easier to offer a newsletter to all visitors who sign up to be members of the forum. It will allow a much better layout and will match much easier with new design. Updating the design of the forum will be far easier then this blog. A link to this blog will be added to a forum post to announce where update and news archives can be seen. This blog will exist for only the purpose of housing those news and updates posted until the forum is operational.

The forum will accessible through all my sites. It will also have categories of smaller forums which will pertain to each of my three sites. It will be easier to add more service to my visitors through the forum.

Second...There will be new pages added to Becky K's Graphics and TLTH Christian Connection.
New graphics will be added to the graphics site and more content and pictures will be added to the christian site.

I am sure my visitors will love the new design and layout once it is finished.

The time frame of when the sites will be up and running with the new design will depend on how long it takes to make the changes to all the pages of all three sites.

I have decided that they will not go on line, with the new design, until all are finished. Since all my sites run off one domain, I figured this would be the best.

I will work as fast as I am able. Once you, my visitors, sees the new design and how it functions, you will understand why it took so long to finish.

Thank you all for your support and patience.

The Sites are being Redsigned and reconstructed.

I hope 2009 has started very well for you, visitors and supports of TLTH.

I know I have not been working very diligently on my sites lately. I do apologize for this, but my health issues were quite intense for a while, and I was unable to function enough to take care of them properly.

This is all about to change, big time. I am back and feeling like it is time for a renewal. It is time to make the sites even better then ever and this is my goal in 2009.

First, the sites are going to get completely redesigned and reconstructed. This is to allow for easier navigation, easier loading of pages, more flexibility, and shorter pages without taking away any of the content.

This will be done with collapsing and expandable navigation bars, collapsing and expandable content, and more organization. Of course, the looks of the site will also improve. I am sure all my visitors and supporters can't wait to see how it will turn out. Guestbooks, TLTH Seal Listing, and this blog will also be redesigned to match the main site as much as I can. I may go for a neutral design here so it will fit all of them. Not really sure what I will do here.

Second, I am bringing back a forum, but it will have to meet my strict standards. This means I want a forum which I can customize without having to pay anything for the privilege. My finances won't permit any more expenses with the sites. I want to make sure it can be made to match the design of TLTH Main Site as much as possible.

Third, the newsletter will return, but not until after the items above are completed. My goal is to have it ready to go by the beginning of next year.

The time frame for these projects is uncertain. I will work as hard as I am able and will do my best to get the sites up in operations with the new design as soon as I can. TLTH will be the first and its redesigning has already begun. As soon as it is finished it will go on line with the new design, and I will announce it when it does. I will then move on the Becky K's Graphics.

I know there are probably some broken links around the sites, but I am waiting until I finish the designing when I can do it all at once. By then the link count will be more accurate as more may be broken by then.

Thank you all for continuing to support and visit my sites. You are the reason they survive and continue to grow.
