Heroes Ambassador Blogs to be discontinued. . .

April 12th, 2010 by songdove

I have been asked by Jennifer to remove all ambassador blogs and instead, ask everyone for a bio page that I can link to from the Heroes Okanagan website ambassador page. This is due to legal requirements for interaction with students that would otherwise require criminal record checks etc. So consider this a heads up that the ambassador blogs are coming down.

Your blog user login will remain however, only the blog is being taken down.

Theme Header: Please leave as Heroes. . .

January 17th, 2010 by songdove

Hey Everyone, I just discovered someone changing their blog header. Could you refrain from doing that and return it to the Heroes header? This will keep things relatively uniform so that people know they have hit a heroes blog and not something unrelated.

Thanks in advance.

IE Image Issue Solved

January 14th, 2010 by songdove

The image display issue in IE is now solved. The file was originally in CMYK mode, not RGB. . . it should now be visible in IE without a problem.

Alert: IE not reading image in header!

January 14th, 2010 by songdove

Hey Everone,

Just a note that right now, all other browsers EXCEPT Internet Explorer, will display the proper header of your blog! I have tested the actual image path to the file in question, and the url works for anything BUT IE! I have to troubleshoot why this is. . . So for now, one of your first notes to your own readers should be to view your blog in any browser except IE.

As a computer repair technician, IE is classified as one of the least-safe browsers a person can use on the internet anyway, so I would urge switching to another browser for safety’s sake more than for image trouble. I will let everyone know when this image url issue is resolved.
