Our New Website
Ta -da! (Thunderous applause!)
The new website is
up! I am soooo glad it is finally up. I spent a lot of time working
on the updates. I am counting on YOU to let me know if you run into
glitches on the website or if you find links that are not working.
The archived FACES & PLACES pages are not in the new format yet
so you may need to use your back button to get back to the main site.
“Why the website change?” you ask. Several reasons. I have wanted to change/add categories, I also wanted the site to load much faster than it did before and be more “friendly” to the Search Engines. So, one of the things I did was to take out a lot of the graphics, especially in the navigation areas.
Please, please, let me know if you find the new site easier to use, faster to load, full of more information, or anything you choose to comment on. Email me at editor@newhopepennsylvania.com

New Features

volunteer writer, Drew Giorgi. We also have a Monthly Horoscope, written by
Jani Allan
- read our FACES & PLACES article on her. And, we have a real live Calendar
of Events in place of WHAT'S NEW. Megan Wetzel has kindly offered to help
create the calendar each month!

Resources for Wellness
Last month I told you I would mention another project I am working on. It isn't
ready to fly yet, but it will be a new website called Resources
for Wellness. I
plan to provide inspirational and informational wellness articles each month
as well as other information about holistic wellness. I plan to introduce a
monthly newsletter which will have "Resources for Wellness"
in the Subject line. I will be sending each of you the first newsletter issue
which you
can continue
to receive or to opt out of - you can make that choice when the first newsletter
arrives.

Local Color - This month we feature Jani Allan, our new Horoscope writer and a famous journalistic celebrity from S. Africa. Now she lives right here in New Hope!
The Arts - I just HAD to offer some kind of tribute to Bob Hope this month. His gift of humor and laughter brought a lot of joy to my family as I was growing up... some great memories! Note that we have combined the Art & Artists section with the Theater & Music section.
Around Town - Here's an article by Jani Allan - her first impressions of New Hope and Bucks County.
