Welcome to the new version of USSCaperton.info! This is the first major upgrade to the site since I set it up as a seperate website from the Caperton.info family history webiste. For those of you who care about the technical geek stuff, I am now using a content management system called Joomla!. For those of you who don care about the technical geek stuff, suffice to say that witht eh new site it will be a lot easier for me to update, and include new features like videos. The photogallery has also received a freshening and is now more visually pleasing.
There are still a few things to be completed. I am working on a form for former sailors to be able to update their info in the database, and I am still trying to sort out a guest book. The old guest book was difficult to maintain due to the large volume of spam.
I would like to thank Jane over at White Rose Web Design for the new look of the site. I told her I wanted something patriotic, and it had to include the ship. Personally, I think she hit a home run!
