More and more postings are populating the Cafe' so a more sophisticated paging system was added. The paging system pages the topic indexes as well as the message display. |

Blogs now have paging logic
My blog was getting a little long in the page so paging logic has been added. It behaves just like all the other paging systems in the other eQuesnel pages. There are 10 Blog entries per page and, of course, they are sorted in reverse chronological order so the latest item is always the first displayed. |

Auto Login and other features
I'm beginning to code for the new features and it all starts with translating the old cookie into a dictionary cookie. I have already installed the dictionary cookie and you will not notice any difference in use. |

Quesnel Citizen/Business of the Month
I'm gathering ideas to enhance the community aspect of eQuesnel. One thought was to hilight an individual or business and profile them once a month. Over time, these profiles would be archived (and searchable on eQuesnel) and could provide a valuable resource for Quesnel. |
