What’s New On the Monarch Park pages
- Aug. 24, 2019 –
The conversion of the site from a FrontPage system to a WordPress system was completed and released. The look and feel were kept the same, and as before, Oil City, Monarch Park and Chamor Estate were combined under the Oil City “Gateway” home page. River Ridge Farm and OCHS Class of ’63 remain as separate websites. However, several changes were made during the conversion: a Site Map was added to the top level “Gateway” menu; Help and Search were moved to the top level; an interactive map was added to the Gateway home page to show the main locations in the vicinity of Oil City; the Monarch Park Walking Tour was enhanced with a satellite view and further identification of the twenty scenes; all pages have a footer with copyright, webmaster’s name, and WordPress design identification; and a site icon
