Sunday, 5^th March 2006

Added the Town Election and Town Meeting pages for 2006.

Thursday, 4^th February 2006

Added a new Links page, which contains various useful links. Currently, it lists the security software we recommend every Windows user have installed.

Thursday, 19^th January 2006

Added the minutes for the Heritage Commission's January meeting to the Download page.

Thursday, 15^th December 2005

Added the minutes for the Heritage Commission's December meeting to the Download page.

Tuesday, 13^th December 2005

Add the secret handshake to the home page so it won't get cached; sometimes you would see an old forecast, and this should ensure that the current forecast always appears.

Wednesday, 16^th November 2005

Added the minutes for the Heritage Commission's November meeting to the Download page.

Thursday, 10^th November 2005

Updated the Zoning Ordinance document on the Download page with the latest version (includes the 2005 amendments).

Monday, 31^st October 2005

	Updated the date on which Cronicle will air the Matt Savage piece; apparently, scheduling issues forced them to move it from October 31 to November 7.
	Added the Farming Fun 4-H club to the Organizations page.

Saturday, 15^th October 2005

Fixed the "Hazardous Weather" links (if present); the National Weather Service had changed them from absolute to relative links.

Sunday, 9^th October 2005

Added the Lisa Phillip's email address to the entry for the Old Meeting House on the Organizations page.

Saturday, 1^st October 2005

Added the Heritage Commission to the Town Government page, and the minutes for the last meeting to the Download page.

Thursday, 15^th September 2005

Added the Site Plan Regulations document to the Download page, and moved the Zoning Regulations from the Planning Board section to the ZBA section (although the Planning board is responsible for producing the Zoning Regulations, most folks look for it in the Zoning Board materials).

Wednesday, 7^th September 2005

The National Weather Service tweaked the formatting of their page again. Even though it was a small change, it was enough to prevent us from retrieving the current forecast.

Tuesday, 6^th September 2005

Added pop-up menus for the Town Government, Organizations, and Download links along the left-hand side of the pages. Makes it easier to get right to where you're going, if you know where that is. Just hover over the link, and a menu of the different sections on that page will appear.

Thursday, 31^st August 2005

	Added the Francestown Village Water Company to the Organizations page, and added some related documents (kindly provided by Bill McAuley) to the Download page.
	Added some of the Zoning Board of Adjustment forms to the Download page. More to come as soon as they are available.

Friday, 5^th August 2005

Fixed a display problem on the Home Page when the forecast is not available from the National Weather Service.

Monday, 25^th July 2005

The Labor Day Parade theme has been chosen; updated the Home Page and the Labor Day 2005 page.

Monday, 18^th July 2005

	Added the schedule of events for Labor Day 2005.
	Added back the When's it Open? link to the menu. Not sure how it got lost, but it's been gone awhile and nobody noticed.

Tuesday, 11^th July 2005

Updated FIHS officers and contact information on the Organizations page (thank to Priscilla Martin for the update!).

Wednesday, 8^th June 2005

	Updated notice on home page about the Garden Tour (seven gardens now, not eight; also make it clear that the tour plus lunch can only be booked through the 17th. After the 17th only the tour is available).
	Changed the contact for the Francestown Recreation Department from Bub Rokes to Doug Langlois.

Sunday, 27^th March 2005

	Corrected the spelling of "cemetery" on the Town Election page. Thanks to Fletcher Taft for catching that one!
	Updated the contact person for the Garden Club on the Organizations page. Also added the Garden Club meetings for the year to the Community Calendar. Thanks to Paul Hunter for the updated info (and apologies for taking so long to get it done).

Sunday, 20^th March 2005

Added Town Election and Town Meeting results for 2005.

Sunday, 13^th February 2005

	Included a link to the page for Francestown on the state's Economic & Labor Market Information Bureau web site. Thanks to Pat Nelson for providing that link!
	Improved the layout of the Home page by displaying the weather icons down the right-hand side, and including the hazardous weather warnings in a box with the National Weather Service link.
	It appears that TierraNet upgraded to a newer version of PHP, which broke the calendar. It was issuing a warning about passing 0 as the length to the fread function. I added a check to read_str in ffdb.inc.php to only do the read if the calculated length is greater than 0.

Saturday, 22^nd January 2005

	Updated the entries on the Organizations page for the Francestown Community Preschool and the Garden Club.
	Added a link on the left-hand side for Labor Day (2004).
	The National Weather Service changed the format of their page slightly; as a result, the little graphics for each day's weather forecast stopped showing up. That has been fixed; in addition, if any hazardous weather conditions are posted, those are now shown as well.

Thursday, 23^rd December 2004

A little bit of cleanup: removed the Labor Day notice from the Home page; edited the table headings on the Election Results page so they fit when the font size is increased a step or two.

Wednesday, 27^th October 2004

Added an entry on the Organizations page for the Francestown Community Preschool.

Monday, 11^th October 2004

Added a page containing the Labor Day 2004 results, including a new Photo Gallery (thanks to Jenny Fritz for providing the photos!).

Tuesday, 24^rd August 2004

Added the schedule of events on the Labor Day 2004 page, and made some formatting changes.

Monday, 23^rd August 2004

Added a note to the Home Page about the 2004 Labor Day Weekend. See the Labor Day 2004 page for more details.

Saturday, 3^rd April 2004

	Added the April events to the Community Calendar. Humblest apologies for not getting this done sooner!
	Re-jiggered the calendar administration page to make it easier to add and modify entries.

Wednesday, 16^th March 2004

	On the Town Meeting page, corrected the spelling of “ammended”—it should be “amended”. Thanks to Fletcher Taft for catching that one; both your humble scrivener (who inserted the offending word) and his entire proofreading department missed it, despite the fact that Sarah Pyle (author of the original article) showed us the correct way to spell it.
	Discovered how to turn on the spell checker in my HTML editor.
	Added the Downloads page, containing links to all downloadable files.
	Added a hit counter to track the number of visitors to our virtual community.

Monday, 15^th March 2004

	Added the Town Meeting page, presenting the results of the 2004 Francestown Town Meeting (courtesy of The Francestown News).
	Updated the information for the Piscataquog Watershed Association (PWA) on the Organizations page (thanks to Pat Nelson for the update!).
	With this day's changes, we are trying out some fun icons to mark the changes, instead of boring old bullets.
	For nerds only: renamed the calendar.php file to index.php, so if you go to the Community Calendar directory you get the calendar, instead of a list of files.

Thursday, 11^th March 2004

• On the Organizations page, the Garden Club meets the fourth Monday of the Month, not the last Monday (thanks to Susan Avery for that correction!).

• Added the Conservation Commission meeting to the Community Calendar for Monday 22 March 2004 at 7:30pm in the Town Office Meeting Room (thanks to Betsy Hardwick for that one!).

• Added notes on how the Community Calendar works, since it is not obvious that the items are links.

Tuesday, 9^th March 2004

• Added the Organizations page, inspired by information from Pat Nelson about the Piscataquog Watershed Association (thank you, Pat!). Also included lots of additional information supplied by Sarah Pyle (thank you, Sarah!).

• Updated Town Government page with information supplied by Sarah Pyle (thanks again, Sarah!). Added entries for the Conservation Commission and the Recreation Commission. Added contact information for each board.

• For nerds only: collected all of the formatting into a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS), and changed all of the pages to use it, instead of duplicating the formatting instructions on every page. This helps ensure a consistent look for all pages.

Saturday, 6^th March 2004

• Added the Town Government page.

• Changed the font used on all pages to something more readable.

Tuesday, 2^nd March 2004

• Fixed the date of establishment of the town on the home page. I had 1784, but as several people have pointed out, the signs at the town line say 1772. Egg on face!

• Added a “What's New” page to track changes.

• Added Jim Bolle's talk How to Tell Good Music from Not-So-Good Music to the Community Calendar (March 18^th at 7:00pm in the Library).
