Welcome to the new MekongCircle.org

This redesign of our Web site is aimed at making it easier to communicate our messages to the members of Mekong Circle.

For those of you who are online regularly, you will notice the familiar elements of a blog, which hopefully will make the site easier to navigate.

In this main space you will find the latest updates, just as at the old site.

But this space also will be used for stories about members, obituaries, reports, minutes of past meetings, organizational details and other information. To make information easier to find, each entry will be labeled.

The labels will make it easier to find all entries related to that subject with a single click. Just look for the list of labels on the lower right side of this page. Find the subject you are looking for and click the label. To navigate back to the main page, click the "Mekong Circle" title bar at the top.

You also will notice that each entry features a comment link, where you can post your ideas and reactions that other members can view. (All comments will be subject to moderation.)

Each entry also features an e-mail icon that allows you to forward the post.

For our biggest event, our biennial reunion, there is a separate box at right for details. Our next reunion is scheduled for 2010.

As members share photos, we also will post links to those pages in the photos section.

The newest feature is the Mekong Circle Twitter feed. (For those unfamiliar with Twitter, you can take a few minutes to read an article on it here.) You can follow the Twitter feed here: twitter.com/mekongcircle.

Most of the pages from the old site will remain active, and for now we may even link to those pages. The old site itself still will be accessible while we transition to this new site (see the link at right) but the pages may expire at the end of this month.

Our hope is that over time, you will find this site easier to navigate, enabling you to find the information you need quickly and easily.

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me, the webmaster.

Sambai Dee! And thank you for your continued support of Mekong Circle International.

-Webmaster (bjr)
