New Website Has Been Launched

Our new Wix site is now live. It still requires a few tweaks to some of the pages, and there are some technical issues that need to be worked out. However, this provides us with a very good looking site with the need to program it by hand. Click here to see our new site. Please leave some comments for us.

Website Changes

Some changes have been made to our main website. I decided to move the buttons to the left hand side, add a couple more pages, and take advantage of the extra space available for people who run higher resolutions on their displays.

This won't be the last update since there will be further changes once we have our new logo and color scheme, but this will do for now.

The Environment Site

I was looking around for some forums in order to get more information and to spread the word about Recycling for Food. I found a place called "The Environment Site". It looks very promising, and I like it because I enjoy ideas about alternative energy production as well.

Tweaked the Website

The website still needs more work, but I made some changes to help it look better. I added the Home, Mission, How to Help, Donate, and Links buttons. The background color is now a nice shade of blue as well. Now I just need to fill in the pages.

PayPal

I decided to use PayPal for processing online donations. It seems like it will work just fine for this. PayPal has a cool feature where it generates the html code for a "Donate" button. I copied the code, but it is not on the website yet. I might wait until the pretty version of the website is finished.

Advertisements

I decided to add Google AdSense to my blog. The advertisements will not be added to the Recycling for Food website because they are not related to our mission. I felt it was ok to include advertisements on the blog because it will potentially be a way to earn a little bit of money for myself, and hopefully help pay for my time blogging.

If it works out good then I'll let you know.

Website

Instead of having the web page showing that the domain name is reserved for Recycling for Food, I put up a simple page to replace it. The site is under construction, but feel free to visit www.RecyclingForFood.org periodically to see the progress. The logo displayed is my initial attempt at trying to create one for the organization.

Logos and Website

My artistic skills are not very good, so I contacted Jim Gottfried to see if he has some free time to make the logos better, or if he has better ideas. He's a graphic arts designer, so I'm sure the results will be great. Hopefully we will have new and improved logos and letter head after a few weeks.

I decided to create a very basic homepage to be put in place of the "this site is reserved..." page. It will not be anything fancy, but it will have some information on it.
