| The Webmaster |
|
Hi, I'm Lenny Andrews, a member of Troop 338 since 1994.
I have served as Assistant Scoutmaster, Scoutmaster, and currently as a Committee Member,
Secretary and Webmaster for the Troop. My son is long gone from the troop, and I've often
thought of retiring, but then the next Eagle candidate comes along, and I realize why I still do this. I taught myself html so I could write my own web pages, and the needs of the troop gave me the opportunity to do something creative. New residents who are interested in Scouting now have a way to contact us, and we are linked to both the Town of South Berwick as well as the South Berwick Rod & Gun Club websites. We now have a way to store and share the history of our troop and to honor those from our troop who have achieved Scouting's highest award, the Eagle. In February 2008, I had the Troop purchase their own domain name, troop338maine.org, with a larger storage limit for a much lower price than I was paying my personal ISP for webspace. We get multiple webmail accounts, web tools, a lot of flexibility, and no ads. I highly recommend this, so a troop can preserve their website even if a webmaster retires and passes it on. I hope you find these pages informative, interesting, nostalgic, and perhaps amusing. If Scouts or Scouters want to learn html by using ideas in these pages, you are welcome, just try to be original with the design. I firmly believe that the web should be free, and that it should be kept streamlined for those who still use dial-up. I welcome suggestions for improvements, additions and, of course, corrections. If you would like to see something added to the pages, need to change or update an event, or if you find that a link doesn't work, please drop me an e-mail or use our new on-line Feedback form. Keep those suggestions coming...I'm able to get them posted very quickly. |
| Browser Problems? |
|
Are you having difficulty getting the Home page to load, or does it lock up when to go to it?
Then you are probably using Windows XP and have upgraded your browser to Internet Explorer version 7 or 8.
Apparently one of the many patch upgrades from MicroSoft either corrupts your Java plugin, or eliminates it entirely.
This has happened to me and some other visitors too. The fix is easy and free. Just follow the steps below. 1. Uninstall Java from Add/Rem Programs in Control Panel. (if the program is too corrupted, it may not let you do this, but this fix will still work) 2. Deactivate Parental Controls in Yahoo or IE 3. Delete cache and temp files (Internet Explorer>Tools>Options) 4. Reboot 5. Reinstall free Java from www.java.com, just click the button to download. This will solve the problem with the browser trying to read the Java applet on the home page. If you find the print on any page too small to read easily, click on View, Text Size, Larger; or in Netscape, View, Increase Font. Try out the new site search engine on the Home page to quickly find any document, info or link on our site. |
| Open Requests... |
| I'm looking for summer camp pictures from '92,'93,& '03. Any other scanable pictures or news articles of past or current Troop 338 events are welcomed. If you can't get it to me in electronic format, clippings and photos are fine, I'll work with it. |
