Well, It's more or less finished. I still have massive amounts of data to enter, but since I don't have that data as yet, it's about as finished as I can get it. The Workcamp has put the address on their mailouts for this year, so it looks like I may just get some traffic soon.
Keep in mind that some things can't be changed. I'm using a host with 50MB of free space, and an interface that's so simple that a drugged monkey could update the site, but it's not completely flexible. The HTML code is generated by an ASP script. Any comments on the layout or design? I've never really done this before.

So who's your webpage provider anyway?

Well, I still don't know his last name, but I had suspected it was "Dawico." Sadly, www.whitepages.com reported no Dawicos in Tennessee, so I guess not.
Oh, well, now we can give Omega a first name.

Yeah, that's the incentive for giving actually looking at the site, so as to give me input.
Besides, it's no big deal. I've told a few people my name already. Just not you.
And you must look more carefully. You might just find more of it.
The site provider is Jabez Networks, more specifically its subsidiary, Faithsite. They give out free sites to non-profit orgs. (For-profit orgs have to pay. They did the sites for a couple of the Survivor contestants.) Their interface is absurdly easy to use, and that's why it's so popular: anyone can modify the thing with minimal training.
It took me a while, but I have it looking almost exactly like the site I originally built in HTML at http://home.earthlink.net/~dawico. 'Twas my objective.
Eventually, I hope to get a search engine going, where you can look up a particular participant and see what group they were in and if their e-mail address has been posted. Problem is that my provider doesn't support CGI, at least not with my free service plan, so I'd have to make alternate arrangements. Is it possible to host CGI on a seperate server from your site?

I dunno. I still think "Work Camp" is a poorly chosen name.
When I think of "Work Camp," I think of certain unpleasant places in Europe during WWII.
"The Nashville Work Camp" is like something I'd expect to read about the horrors of in an Alternate History novel.

Well, the name is kind of set at this point. Actually, we named the thing after the Memphis Workcamp, which has been going more like ten years...

Um... I USE Netscape. What are you seeing that's not working? What version are you running?

Hmm... just checked it out on a public terminal at the library. Using Netscape 4, the right navbar font size is wrong, and so is... some of the stuff on the individual group pages... pleh.

I still don't get it why people take all that effort to download and install Netscape when a far far FAR superior browser is INCLUDED in Windows :S. Or are these the same people who refuse to use Windows?
Okay.. one remark: how was I supposed to know those links on the right are to external sites!?
Overall, apart from some of the slogans (and a guy named "Papa C") that freak me out , it looks okay!

Thanks to sifting through the site and its links, I know Omega's first and last name, what church he goes to, the address of said church, a physical description, and Omega's hobbies and interests. Frankly, I'm scared.
But the site looks good.
