AA> You don't need to be a web developer to start using something like
AA> Wordpress. I don't know a specific BBS that has created a home-page
AA> using wordpress, but Castle Rock BBS [ https://castlerockbbs.com/ ]
AA> has the basics pretty good.  He introduces the BBS, provides some
AA> background info, some screen shots of the set up, and adds humour.

AA> Another place, http://bbs.thenet.gen.nz/ ..has all the content presented
AA> prettygood, but it doesn't look as modern as the former.

Andrew has updated Magicka a couple of times in the last week with
changes to word wrapping.

AA> Some like what Agency BBS does at https://bbs.nz/ ..can be very easily
AA> accomplished with Wordpress.  It has a nice intro screen shot, info
AA> about Fidonet and othernets it carries.

I'm just looking at the quotes to see if there is an improvement.

AA> If yours is http://trmb.ca:8080/  ..that's a great start, but substitute
AA> your own "rusty mailbox" image for the Magicka BBS at the top.  ;)

AA> Take a screen capture of your login image from here:
AA> https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/bbs/rusty-mailbox/

AA> ...then crop it to fit the "logo" area of your BBBS default.

AA> It's interesting to see the variety of design in web home pages for
AA> various BBSes.  If there is a hope to attract people to a BBS, a web
AA> homepage seems to be an essential calling card.

It seems better now. I don't know if that's the end of the changes but I
think we are making progress.

I still need to make changes on The Rusty MailBox web page too.. still
quite busy getting things together but I am thinking about that.

I have changed the web server to run on port 80 now and I have added
https support so folks can do their BBSing securely.

It needs more work but it's coming along. I need more hours in the day
but there is no bug fix for that.. :)

Ttyl :-),
