Our Website Has Moved
If you're reading this

While we have had the TompkinsCortlandScouts.org domain name for many
years, we never really had a place to put the website. The domain was
actually just an alias for some other website. So, every time you
accessed TompkinsCortlandScouts.org, some other address appeared in your
browser's address bar - mostly, home.htva.net/~wb2jwd/,
which is the space my cable company gave me, but sometimes www.bpmlegal.com,
my office website - and if you bookmarked the site, you wound up
bookmarking the actual address, not TompkinsCortlandScouts.org. Worse,
htva.net only gave me 20MB of storage space, total, so we were very
limited in how much we could post on that site.
Thanks to Mark Travis of Pack 197 and Good News Computing, the
Taughannock District Website now has a real home, and oodles of space to
live in (one "oodle" = several gigabytes). And, thanks to a
suggestion from Oliver Habich of Troop 4, we also have a shorter,
easier-to-type domain - TCScouts.org
- two names, the same website.
What this means to you is:
- Old Bookmarks won't be right:
If you have any bookmarks in your browser for any of the pages in
the Taughannock District Website, they probably point to the actual
site of the old page, not the new site. So, you'll need to...
- Change your Bookmarks: At least in Firefox or IE, that means
right-clicking on the bookmark, click on "Properties" and
change the part of the address which says "home.htva.net/~wb2jwd/"
or "www.bpmlegal.com"
to --www.TCScouts.org-- or --www.TompkinsCortlandScouts.org--
(either will work, if you're lazy like me, use the shorter one). The
rest of the address remains the same.
So, "http://home.htva.net/~wb2jwd/announce.htm"
becomes --http://www.TCScouts.org/announce.htm --
- Or, save new bookmarks:
If you don't want to edit your old bookmark, you can always follow
one of these links http://www.TompkinsCortlandScouts.org
or http://www.TCScouts.org
, find the page you want, and save a new bookmark.
- The old website has been taken down. All of the pages are
now set to redirect to
the home page on the new server. So if you don't update your bookmarks now, now you
can always follow the forwarding link and save a new bookmark later
on.
