Fixing my website

I recently starting using Word Press for this website.  I started by stripping out all the old stories and then uploading them.

There are two things I need to work on with the uploads:

  1. When the text was re-formatted, error appeared.
  2. The photos and maps that I used in some of these pages did not upload.

When I get time, I will work on fixing these problems.

If in the meantime you want to see a better version of an article, email me at edlanger@att.net or edlanger@tds.net
