Kingston, Toronto and Montreal now running

www.Dance-Kingston.com Launched!
www.Dance-Toronto.com Launched!
www.Dance-Montreal.com Launched!

These sites are now running. But because there is little or no content yet for these new sites, Ottawa items will likely appear on the top of their lists for a while. We will be adding content shortly for these new sites, and visitors are welcome to add their own content now. They will be fine-tuned over the next few weeks.

Note that you can add content while logged in to any of our sites, and it will appear on all of them automatically!

Improved Distance to Venue Calculations

We have changed the site to now provide distances to venues for anyone who views the site, whether they are logged in or not.

If you are logged in and have specified your Location (in My account), it will give you the distance from your own exact location, but if you are not logged in, or you have not specified your Location in 'My account', then it gives you the distance from the centre of town.

Simplified

We have removed the 'Dance Venues' menu. This will make it alot easier to create events, since the venue can now be specified explicitly in every event, no matter who is running the event, or where its run.

OSDS Tenth Anniversary

Pauline and I attended the Ottawa Swing Dance Society 10th Anniversary Dance. Big Band Caravane was terrific. Unfortunately it was their last public event. And the venue was perfect. Swing Dynamite and Dance with Alana tought some lessons and almost everyone joined in. I hope everyone will now remember the ShimSham and Electric Slide!

Well done, OSDS!

After the Launch

Well, except for two minor issues, the website launch went well. For some reason the newletter decided not to have a correct link to allow people to unsubscribe. I'll have to look into that for the next newsletter. And I think it may have sent it out as html, which means it ended up mostly in people's junkmail boxes. I have figured that one out now.
