January 02, 2001: - Technical Difficulties. I'm so frustrated by the lack of support by this site's previous host, Tripod.com, that I could scream. Over a period of a month or more, I've sent them at least 1/2 dozen e-mails and they don't respond. Never. Not once. I imagine that every bit of e-mail to them goes down into some huge swirling vortex, never to be seen. Word of warning, folks - you are on your own if you choose to host a site there. If you run into an irreparable glitch, like I did, you are most likely SOL. So bye-bye to them, and hello to the new host. By the time you read this, this site will be on the new server. Unfortunately, I won't have access to the ease-of-use editing tools I had on the old server...so here I go into the foray of HTML. Bear with me; more updates are coming.

After a plateful of Thanksgiving leftovers this morning, I thought I was on to something when I discovered how to create my own .PDF files. It was my plan to scan in all the old Florida wrestling programs in their entirety and save them as .PDF files that you could access by clicking date links on the "Programs" page. Much to my dismay, I quickly discovered that there is no way I have the disk space available on the free server that is hosting this site to store all of my old wrestling programs in their entirety. All 8 pages of just ONE program consumes 2.1 megabytes of disk space when converted to a .PDF file! This is in black and white, scaled down to a readable size.
Back to the drawing board. For now, I guess all I can do is show you the front and back covers of the programs in an effort to conserve space. This is a letdown for me, because you miss out seeing all the great stuff on the inside of the programs. November 23, 2000: Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have started trying to figure out how I am going to get hundreds of pages of old wrestling programs up under the "Programs" section for you all to enjoy. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but if you go to the "Programs" page, you'll see how I started it. I think there will be far too many pages to display in this manner. If anyone has any suggestions about other ways I can do this, please drop me a line.
P.S.: My scanning skills will get better. November 21, 2000: We are live! After several weeks' work, I've finally got enough content to display. Thank you everyone for your great feedback. I will be adding new material just as fast as I can, until I run out. Today I've started making some of the photos on the photo pages clickable links, so you can easily click on the photos to enlarge them and get a better view. Eventually I'll have all the photos done like this, so keep watching. |
