Website Changes

Dear readers and Texas Wax members,

I have been making quite a few changes to the website since Wednesday, July 22nd. I am continuing to make changes as it becomes apparent that one thing or another could be improved, so bear with me. Your suggestions are very welcome, as is your patience with the current round of changes.

This entire website was designed and created entirely as a volunteer effort of the part of Haley Nagy and yours truly. Although the base for the site is a simple WordPress blog and website, we have installed about 50 plugins to extend the functionality and allow artists to blog and to control their own gallery pages and profile pages. So, it has become a very complex site — many of the plugins have to interact with each other, and some of the base code has to be modified — in itself no small feat for another painter such as yourselves!

For those members who have not yet embarked on the fascinating journey of getting your artwork and profile listed on the site, I will be sending out little to-do’s for you over the next few weeks — just 1 or 2 small things at a time.

Feel free to forge ahead, however. Instructions for how to do most of the things you may want to do on the site are located on the pages in the Members Only section, and you must be logged in to read these pages.  Most of the same instructions are also located all on one page on the FAQs page; however, some of the information linked there is accessible to logged-in members only.

I thank you for your patience; as I change things on the site, I also have to change the instructions, so one thing may lag behind the other.  Eventually, and hopefully soon, the changes will be done, and everyone will have their work on the site, and be comfortable working in this new technical environment.

As always, if you have any problems with the site, just shoot me an email.  Any questions you have that you think would benefit others can be asked and answered on the FAQs page or in the Forum (forum has been removed due to lack of use).

Now to paint!

Your webmaster,

Marilyn
