As you might have noticed, this website has undergone some changes in the past couple of weeks. The major behind-the-scenes change was that the site is now powered by WordPress, a very powerful and customizable content management system. So far, there have been very few glitches with the site revision, and it has allowed me to add quite a few new features.

WordPress has a sister program called BBPress, which is a bulletin board engine similar to the phpbb bulletin board we had been using on this site. However, it is far superior to phpb in several ways, including site security, user administration, and it integrates seamlessly with WordPress.

I have launched the new bulletin board, and you can find it by using the Forum link at the top of the page. The new address is http://www.lne97.com/bbpress if you would prefer to bookmark it.

One of the ways we are hoping to keep the cost of the reunion weekend down is by finding corporate sponsors. In exchange for their generous support, these sponsors will receive varying levels of publicity and recognition for their business. These sponsorships provide a great opportunity for our former classmates to get the word out about their business, while also partnering with the reunion committee to ensure that our reunion event is a success! We already have one Platinum level sponsor, and one Gold level sponsor as well.

If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a corporate sponsor, please contact us to get the ball rolling.

I have made some major changes “behind the scenes” to the lne97.com website which will make it easier to update as we get closer and closer to the reunion this July. Take a look around the site to see the changes, which include quite a few new functionalities.

As with any technology related endeavor, there are bound to be some bugs here and there. If you come across any problems with the website, or any strange behavior on the new pages, please let me know so I can get them fixed right away.

Thanks for your patience, and please continue to check back frequently for updates. I know they’ve been sporadic in the past, but as the reunion approaches, we will have much more new information to pass along.

Many of the details of our class reunion have been worked out, and the event is just around the corner! Check the sidebar on the left for the basics, and more information is listed below.

The bulletin board has been busy, with THOUSANDS of visits and more than 330 individual posts. Most of them are pictures of Adam Justin partying with random women, but some of them are actually worth reading.

We’ve also received a few donations via the PayPal payment system we’ve set up. If you haven’t already, please consider making a donation to help with the costs of the event. We will be publishing the costs of each event very soon, and when we do you will also be able to send in your payment using the PayPal system.
