HUBERHOME

Just wanted to write a quick update on the work I have done on WiltonIowa.org over the past few weeks.

-- In June I rebuilt the Chamber of Commerce Online Member Directory. Previously the member directory was basically a printed version of the directory. The online version of the member directory is now searchable, printable, has capacity for pictures, an email address, web links, and could contain additional information.

-- Clean, search engine friendly URLs for the COC member directory. This was a bit of work because our web host says "mod_rewrite is insure and has been disabled". This posed a bit of a challenge, no problem that is where PATH_INFO came into play. You can see how I handled it by visiting the directory. I really wish I could have used mod_rewrite as it would have saved a lot of time, but if you can't PATH_INFO work great too!

-- XML sitemaps seem like an important thing anymore. Without good search exposure what good is a website? So the last part of the project was to build as semi-static xml sitemap and submit it to all of the major search providers.

There was also a tremendous amount of small updates which I am not even going to list. The best way to see for yourself what WiltonIowa.org has evolved into is to see it for yourself.

More Later
