The new Porch is online. I'll be adding content back in gradually. You will need to register again. Try the FORGOT PASSWORD link first. Please be sure to contact me if you have problems getting registered again. You can contact me with a username/pwd if you like and I'll reset your account from here. If you prefer, contact me and I will set a temporary password for you.

Thanks again for your patience and support and we'll leave the light on for ya! 

(Technical explanation: The previous CMS framework uses a double MD5 hashing algorithm for the password. These cannot be decrypted, therefore the passwords could not be transferred to the new CMS framework.)

We'll be starting classes up again soon. Be sure to watch for updates. Let us know what type of classes you'd like to see here. As always...classes are no charge. Please make sure you follow up in the forum.

If you have your own website be sure to post the URL into the WEBSITE entry under Miscellaneous in your settings page. Your name and a link to your website will scroll up through the members website panel on the lower right. When you hover your mouse over the panel the list will stop allowing you to click one of the links.

The RSS feeds seem to be working again. Apparently, there was a conflict between certain themes and the XML parsing for the feeds. If you find you are no longer receiving your feeds try changing to a different theme and see if that fixes the problem.

I've added some routines which should make this site more mobile-friendly. If you visit with a standard laptop/desktop browser you will see the standard site. If you visit using a mobile device you should be automatically switched to a mobile-friendly theme.

There are several features which you will not be able to take part in until after you have registered and logged into the site. We have chatrooms, blogs, photo galleries, etc. While you can read the forums without being a member you cannot post to the forums until after you have registered. In order to take part in the free classes you will need to be registered.

Registration is free of charge. If you have any problems getting registered or activated be sure to contact me.

We seem to be getting alot of emails bouncing back from comcast and yahoo. Let me know if you have any problems with not receiving expected emails from the site.

Please make use of the Suggestion Box. Let me know what you want added or changed. I would like to make sure this site is usable and easily accessed. Thanks!
