RockfordAutism.com

I've finally finished the website! I purchased a new domain name: www.RockfordAutism.com, and I hooked up with a web host. So the website is officially up and running!

I sent the link for the new website out to a handful of people now, to check the place out. I'm rather pleased with it so far. Easter Seals wants to put the link on their website!! Very cool!

There are things I still want to add to the site. I want to list the local organizations and what services or support each of these places can supply, and what one needs to do to obtain those services. The problem is, I'm so new to this that I don't know what's out there yet. I'm still learning. But at least I have the names of places to contact. They're all in the "favorites" list. I would also like to add more information about doctors. I'm also going to get more pictures to put in the gallery. Maybe the support group families will be willing to email me pictures to use....? In any case, I'll try to bring my camera when there are group events, and snap some photos. It will fill up quickly.

I also want to find out how to get a website to list out on the search engines. I need to also find out how to use RSS feeds in FrontPage 2002. I'm pretty sure it can do it, but I just don't know how. I had a dickens of a time getting them to post on my blog site, but I finally got it working.

The flyer for the support group was sent to me. How ironic! The guest speaker is going to focus on: "How to support your child when they are being bullied in the classroom, playground or in the community." Is that timely, or what? After all the bullying Nathan's been through, (and consequently, WE'VE been through!) I wouldn't miss that meeting for anything. Nathan's been bullied pretty much all his life.
