Almanac (Finally) Redesigned After Seven Years

Well, it only took seven years, but we finally redesigned Tube City Almanac.

Skymagik Internet Services set up a new server and a new hosting environment which makes some new features possible. For instance: You should notice that the website is much more readable on mobile phones, tablets and other devices that have small screens.

We have about 2,800 monthly readers, and more than 1,000 visit using a tablet or phone --- and many of you who read the site using a phone have complained about the old design.

Some things don't quite work yet. I don't have the RSS feed running; I'm not sure why it's not working. But we'll get there.

Thank you for your patience, support and occasional "nudges" encouraging us to improve Tube City Online and Tube City Almanac.

I'm going to be making some other improvements in the near future, but then I'm really hoping to spend more time making content and less time trying to learn how to make the website run.

And as always, this is supposed to be a community platform. So if you'd like to contribute, the door is open. Email tubecitytiger@gmail.com and someone will get back to you as quickly as possible.
