eteamz Maintenance Tomorrow Morning

eteamz will undergo a little bit of maintenance tomorrow morning, April 11, 2007 from 2am to 7am EDT. During this time some may see an interruption of some services, specifically related to the Collect Fees, Donations and Fundraising portions of the admin. Most of the rest of eteamz should remain unaffected during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

Latest and Greatest Browsers

As many of you know, the two most popular Web browsers available today (Microsoft's Internet Explorer and The Mozilla Foundation's Firefox) have recently released new versions. I won't bother to get into a discussion (or more likely a rant) about the browser war. As far as eteamz goes, it's not much of a war with nearly 92% of all page views going to IE.

For now, most people are still using the "old" version of IE so, for the time being, we'll continue to focus the majority of our support on that browser. However, we encourage our users to upgrade to the newest versions of both browsers. You pioneers will be able to help us identify and fix any anomolies that may appear.

eteamz will continue to support the most commonly used browsers and we'll try to make sure that, during this transition time, we quickly address any issues that arise. We, and all future IE 7 and Firefox 2 users, thank you!

Tip of the week - compress your files

Uploading large files such as images and sounds not only take up a lot of space on your site they also take a long time for your site visitors to download.  The larger the file, the longer it will take for site visitors to download.  Large files would be anything over 500K.  Personally, I would upload files no larger than 200K.

There are many products out there that will compress files for you.  Check out www.download.com and enter the appropriate search term in the search field.  An example would be compress image or compress wav file.
