A new year, a new website


Happy New Year’s neighbors.  For 2012 we’re launching a brand new Secret Woods website.  The Internet has changed tremendously from a technological perspective since the original Secret Woods website was launched in early 2002.

The old site was hand coded and was in danger of becoming obsolete as Web browsers advanced.  Our new site uses the latest content management system (CMS) from Word Press, which is used by some of the biggest  companies in the world, including CNN, The New York Observer, Reuters and many others.

Our new website will work equally well on tablets, smartphones and even good old fashioned PCs and Macs. 

The resident directory has also been updated to include a new password. Neighbors can request it by clicking here. The new password will only be distributed to verified neighborhood residents. When submitting your request, include your name and address.

New site features include:

– Local and national headlines (right rail).
– Weather (right rail).
– Website header refreshes with new scenes with each page visited
Area Real Estate Listings
Flight information
Area gas prices
– Stock quotes (right rail)
– Events calendar (right rail)
– Jaguars and sports headlines (right rail)
– List of top 10 songs (right rail)
– Lottery numbers (right rail)
– Automatic re-rendering for smartphones
– All elements now display properly on tablets

And don’t worry, we are preserving our history.  A complete copy of our original website is still available by clicking here.
