THE GOOD WEB SITE GUIDE 2008
Mentioned in
Loss of Intertnet connection, computer crashes, host’s servers down............
It’s the stuff of nightmares as far as we are concerned. We have been remarkably glitch free since we started in January 2006 but we have had one or two scares, including the loss of Internet connection and being locked out of our web authoring program. For this reason we decided it was best to put in place a contingency plan.
In the event that we experience a technical problem but can update the site, information will appear on this page, including an estimate as to the resumption of service. In the event that we cannot access the site we will post a service problem notice on our news blog, which is hosted on a different server and which can be updated from almost any computer with an Internet connection. Since April 2008 we have embedded the blog site into the main site and you can get to it by clicking here.

PROBLEM OPENING A WORD FILE?
If you are the user of Word 2003, or earlier, and somebody sends you a Word file you cannot open, there is a fair possibility that they are using Microsoft’s new Word 2007, part of the Office 2007 suite of programs. Word 2007 files can be distinguished by the file extension .docx. We have covered this in the March 2007 and August 2007 editions of HockeyTalk.
You will be pleased to hear that Microsoft produce a download which will convert Word 2007 files into versions which Word 2003 and Word 2000 can read. It is easy to install and works seamlessly. You can go to the Microsoft download page by CLICKING HERE. We should add that the download will only work if you have kept your Word updates current. For more information visit the Microsoft web sight at www.microsoft.com.

PROBLEMS SEEING IMAGES ON OUR PICTURES PAGES?
Most net browsers have a small plug-in called Macromedia Flash from Adobe installed. In the unlikely event that you cannot view the images on our Pictures pages properly, the chances are that you do not have this plug-in installed. You can download the plug-in free by going to the Adobe Macromedia Flash site by CLICKING HERE. The site will identify whether you have Flash installed and which version it is. You can then download an appropriate version for your operating system and browser.
