Well, the big switch over to the new EverythingDulcimer.com happened two days ago. The tweaking continues. It's such a content rich, multi-faceted site that this is a huge project. The original idea was to have everything in place and ready, so that folks just wake up and it's completely different and everything is in place.
That wasn't going to happen thanks to other commitments and schedules.
For all these years, it's just been ME running the site. That's okay until a site reaches a certain size and visitorship. After that, it requires a team...some division of labor. The current team consists of three of us doing the work at EverythingDulcimer.com...that's Dan Landrum bringing DPN's leadership, content and graphics talent, Steve Seifert helping with technical issues and myself. My role has changed to that of forum administrator, newsletter author and kind of a spokesperson, I suppose.
Over the last two day, I've gotten in on the discussion...something I haven't taken the time to do in a long time. By sharing the burden, I think it'll actually let me enjoy the site a bit. I'm looking forward to getting into some more discussions, submitting content and being more of a part of the EverythingDulcimer.com community. Yippee!
(Did I mention how NICE it is to let someone else (Steve) handle technical issues...wow!)
So, I'm relishing this team concept for selfish reasons. Naturally, a team means a better overall site with which to server the community as well.
