[SCCC] SCCC Web Site Updates

[Dennis Younker]

Hi Bruce,

I wasn't sure whether you were still the one doing updates.  At any rate, it 
would be great to hear from other club members about what they would like to 
see on the site. It seems to be under utilized at the moment.

I would enjoy seeing a short monthly article written by one of our club 
members. Could be an interview of another club member, tips for newcomers or 
little pistols, an equipment review, or just about anything contest related.

I think it would also be nice to post recent club member scores.

I'm sure others have even better ideas.

Why is contesting.com interested in us finding a new home?  We certainly 
aren't using much space, and I can't imagine that we're generating much 
monthly traffic.  It would be nice to have our own domain name. 
Unfortunately, SCCC is already taken. However, our club bulletin name, 
SCCCORE is available, as is SoCalContestClub.

Perhaps one of our club members has a hosting plan where we could place our 
club web site without incurring charges.  My own plan could be used for 
additional domains but there is a nominal monthly charge to do so. 
(Unfortunately, my plan doesn't include an unlimited number of domains.)  I 
do have plenty of space, however.

Alternatively, we could move to QSL.net.  In my past experience with them, 
their free service was sometimes slow, especially in the evening.  Maybe we 
could live with that if we want to continue at no cost.  Tonight, their web 
site seems to be quite fast.
