An official announcment about the Moloka’i solo race by PA’A

Just a few quick updates about the website.

1. Advertising is available on this site. See the advertising page.
2. About six months ago we ran a survey asking for feedback on the website. For everyone who responded thank you very much. There were some insightful comments that will definitely be taken into consideration for future improvements. For anyone who didn’t respond, you can still take it if you want.
3. So with all the feedback, why are there no improvements lately? No excuses here. I will say that the next major revision to the site will extremely in depth. Several months of work have already been put into rebuilding the site from the ground up, but it will take quite a bit more. The goal is make handling of results from more races and more places easier and to improve the community and interactive features throughout the site. This will happen in 2008.
4. Happy New Year.

Aloha,

Aloha Paddlers,

OCPaddler.com has been up for almost five years and we are thinking hard about how to improve it. If you can answer a few questions, it would help out a great deal in making the next five years even better. Thank you.

I was working on the website Tuesday and managed to break half the site. User logins, link page, Videos, Classifieds, The event calendar, search box and canoe clubs pages may not work. My bad. Sorry for any inconvenience. Things should be back to normal within a few days.
