Enhancements
to the browsing experience of our readers
by arranging and grouping relevant information
into sections. The new section menu pages
will make locating information on the site
easier and increase visibility of all our
pages.
To
create the new sections, we added a middle
layer page between our main page and announcements,
articles, press releases, Death Announcement,
Political News, Events and advertisement pages.
The middle layer is called "The Section
Menu Page" and will list all of the information
appropriate to that category.
The
site consist of the following major sections
with the following listings
- Main
Page - Profound changes to the
layout of the Main Site. The placement
of information on the main page will be
restricted to designated areas of the
new layout. There will no longer be a

page. The space has been allocated for
company logos.
