The dedicated server is doing very well.

It seems the move to the new server eliminated the NewsLetter database :=( In actual fact it was not being used, due to time constraints. Therefore, it has been discontinued.

Working every day to adjust and improve real-time offerings.

Ongoing tuning of the site. Adding this and removing that. Let me know what's good and what's bad.... neal--@--americandaily.gum

Continuing with efforts to get more input from European authors that can give Americans a better feel for Europe and a personal point of contact for discussion.

7-22-05

Our new power server is up and running. You should already see improvements in load speed as parts of AmericanDaily are coming off of that new server.

7-18-05

I'm happy to announce that Amira Ibrahimovic has joined us a regular contributor. She brings her personal view of the USA as perceived by Europeans.

In order to insure that the "new" American Daily runs at full speed and serves all visitors efficiently, we have contracted for a new server for $150.00 per month (other sites will be moved there, so AD gets full attention of its server resources). Any donations would be appreciated (no matter how small). All expenses attack my beer allowance!

7-17-05

1) Added Agape Press® headlines.

2) Further tuned the footer display and adjusted to show 6 titles in each display.

1) Footer changed to offer 5 titles for "The View From The Left" and "Guest" articles.
    - many guest articles deserve a better exposure and so they now do.

2) "Free Congress Foundation Editorials" now linked on right side of the main page.

7-15-05

I must remind all that I am not here to censor or toe some party line. If you disagree with an article, then write a rebuttal article or rebuttal "Letter to the Editor". If either is not vulgar or abusive, I will be glad to post it.

The Progressives are the ones that want to control thought and that is why they want to get rid of sites such as this. Information and discourse is their biggest enemy!

7-11-05

Just for grins, I have added a little reminder on the left side of this page of why it is so important to protect our right to have free access to information.

Because of the "Natalee Holloway article", in the massive feedback emails received, some have suggested that I adopt the "censor" mode and emulate the Progressives.

If it matters, I did not agree with the articles presentation, but it was an argument to be presented. (Guess what ~50% is the current split on the position of the author).

I have added the "The View From The Left" article area so items that are worth examination can be reviewed if anyone finds it of interest. It doesn't mean I agree with the content, just that the provided information or opinion might help visitors understand the positions over there on the Left.

7-10-05

NOTICE: Contributors, authors, columnists and your Editor do not receive any remuneration.
(For those edukated by the Progressives: "Nobody gets paid here")

6-26-05

Concept suggestion: How about a "theme" each month?

For example in the month of July each columnist would present at least one article on EduKShun.

This way all of the readers could get a variety of ideas and opinions of the theme subject of the month.

Thanks to all for helping me thru the transition from Justin being the editor/operator of AD.

I'm sure I will goof and miss things, but that is part of the learning process.

Justin is helping me resolve issues and I am trying very hard to properly support contributors and users.

Beware, because of SPAM and VIRUS issues most of my email goes thru multiple levels of filtering and then the stuff received each day can be overwhelming. I actually get all my email via 6 different services, so hopefully I will discover your message in one of the inboxes. (Subject is very important)
