New NPDA Website Launches in USA


From Michael Dreher:

Colleagues,

The new NPDA website is up. The old site at Bethel is no longer being updated. Please go instead to:
http://www.parlidebate.org. I will be setting up redirects on some of the key pages. There are still a few pages that need to go over to the new server (such as the results submission pages and some of the past results pages), but that will go over soon. Also, the print style sheets and website style sheets will be tweaked; they're functional, but I will get rid of some of the navigation that currently appears on them.

We wanted to get the site up so that Danny's pages and the main site are unified in one location. There is now a better search function on the website, and for those of you using iPhones, you'll even find a special iPhone friendly style for the website.

What this means:

1. Please check your team websites and your tournament invitations. If you have links to:
http://cas.bethel.edu/dept/comm/npda/ -- please change those to http://www.parlidebate.org/

If you have any links to internal pages, please change those - the new website files don't end in .html. If you need help in finding the new files, send me an email, and I'll send you the new link. If I don't respond right away, it's probably because I'm at one of those tournaments where there's not internet access on campus. :)

2. If you have thoughts or suggestions as far as new content, please let me know. I'd love to have more information in the "coaching helps" section of the website. It's important for new debaters and coaches to have information that will help them in the activity. I'm also open to having other content on the website as well - let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
