Welcome to our October 2008 Newsletter.
We have worked hard this last month to make a few improvements to
DLDHistory.com: We have redesigned our logo to make it look cleaner
and nicer. We have re-coded our navigation menu so it will work on more
computers. We have redesigned the Monthly
Updates screen.. Now you can see and click on new photos we have
added during the month. We are still working the bugs out of the Monthly
Update screen but it should be much easier to use. We have started
the long process of planning the redesign of DLDHistory.com that we do
every 2 years. Our Bronze and Gold members are asked to help us
and watch our progress. If you are a Bronze or Gold member the
link to the 2K9DLDHistory.com timeline is on your "My Page"
Thank you everyone for helping us make DLDHistory.com The Most
Unique Disneyland History Site.
