Site Optimized For Popular Browsers

This organization and operations of this site were built with the intention of transmitting the most appropriate information into the hands of the user as quickly as possible in a way that provides for the efficient and easy navigation of the site. The hierarchy was kept very low and the information is organized in small and relevant units. Images were used sparingly and kept as lean as possible. The entire package for the active site uses only 2GB, including the HTML, the java class, and the graphics and databases, etc.

Our intention is to fulfill the dissemination of information aspects of the Association's mission by using the web to the full extent possible given the state of commonly accessible technology. We have also made every effort to insure that our pages are fully accessible to all browsers and platforms from Lynx to Navigator, the layout and aesthetics are optimized for Safari and IE7.

Technical facts...
This site is served on a dedicated secure server. Page design and HTML coding is accomplished with BBedit 8. Safari and IE7 are the browsers of choice, though the site was designed to be navigable and usable, it may not be as pretty, for every browser from A to Z.

All graphics are custom. All have been created by Members, and others outside the organization. Please respect their work and do not steal, and use as your own without permission from the Web Master. Renaming Images and calling them your own is a crime. Software used for these includes Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, Flash, including paletizing and animation.

The multimedia files may also require the following free browser plug-ins:

Updates not only include cool features, and increase speed, they also address security issues. Keep security on the top of your list.
