Shop Talk

Hey everyone, I hope you all have noticed how much faster the site is these days. We've beefed up our service, so that we can handle all the traffic we are getting. Keep checking back for the new Senior Planet Home Page. Thanks!

Many of you have experienced some problems logging into your accounts. This is do to an error on our part. I would like to take this time to apologize for the mistake, and to let you know that we are working hard to correct the problem. I also want to thank those of you who have been so patient while we go through these growth spurts.

In other news, we are up grading to a faster server. What does this mean for the site? I means faster page loads and less time waiting around. You should be able to see the speed change in the coming week.

Thank you all for your support.

Coming in March: New Senior Planet Home Page!

I want to share some videos from the OATS Holiday Party with all of you. Thank you to all of you who came.

I want to start by saying thank you to all the people who have helped SeniorPlanet grow into an active site for older adults. We have a ways to go before we have daily bloggers and the Calendar filled up, but I have no doubt these things are coming soon.

Let's jump right in to what is going on. Our students have been working extremely hard on filling the Resource Exchange with valuable information for other older adults in New York City. Not only have they been editing existing articles, but also creating new pages of information on the site. Visit the Resource Exchange and see if your favorite organization has a page, if not create one. You can use our tutorials to guide you through the different site features.

With foundations in place for the Resource Exchange we are beginning work on our Blog and Calendar sections. Currently we are looking for writers who can take on the challenge of being a weekly blogger. If you, or someone you know, has alot to say about a particular area of expertise please contact me at editor@seniorplanet.org. Likewise, if you have an event that you would like us to include in our calendar, let me know.

I have to get back to the site now. Hope you enjoyed the update. Look forward to speaking with you all very soon.
