Thanks, Rick. We appreciate the article that you provided, too. You did a great job on it. We're interested in more of them if you have time!

The site is by no means done. It was at a point where we could cut over yesterday, but we still have a couple months of work ahead of us with copying over articles from the old server. Its a huge undertaking.

For those people wondering what we have been up to:

1) We have doubled our bandwidth to the Internet
2) We installed 4 brand new Dell Dual Processor rack-mounted Xeon Servers (loaded with RAID).
3) We upgraded our Commonspot Content Publishing Software. This is a high-end (over $20,000) enterprise-class content publishing system.

The upgrade to the new CMS software is what took so long. We had to rebuild every article from scratch.


The upgrade was more about building the infrastructure we need to support the next generation of publishing that we're working on versus an attempt to make a really cool looking site. The site will likely get another new facelift sometime in the next 6 - 8 months depending on other projects. The main thing we were after was to get the infrastructure in place.

Some cool stuff will be happening this year. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Oh, and there will be more new front-page stories added in the next couple of days. We're just finishing up a story on how to protect your trailer's floor.

In a few weeks we'll have a review on the Polaris Outlaw. I thought I'd mention that one since this is the Polaris forum. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Your welcome Dave .

I'll keep my camara handy around the shop and try to show some more of the interesting shop work that folks don't get to see much of .
