A little summer re-building at The Dam
GLEN ROSE, Ark. -- Here at The Dam this summer, I was trying to get a new site launched by the beggining of the football season, or hopefully the beggining of the summer practice season. I ran into some snags while trying to get the site up and running, for one thing it was really graphical, so I had to try and tinker with graphics all the time. To make a long story short, I got busy, I didn't get the site up to my standards, so I made the editorial decision to just tinker the old layout a bit. So I hope everyone enjoys the web-site, with a few little tinkers. Maybe I will get the new site up by Christmas.
