HistoricYale.ca went live with a new WordPress (WP) website today!  This local historical society was looking for a new look and the control of content that a WP content management system can provide them.  

This site is intended to be an anchor site for the flickr.com and facebook.com sites that HistoricYale also maintains.  Embedding Google Maps on the Location page and Google Calendar on the Events page round out the externally linked references that contribute with editable content.  A Share link from Addthis.com enables site visitors to share the page info via their favorite social media network.  

Google Analytics has been included so each page’s visitor traffic can be analyzed and evaluated through the on and off season.  

To help the Google rankings an account was also created at Google Places.  This handy map-baased locator profile enables photo uploads and reviews from visitors.

The colorful history of YaleBC is worth checking out.  Go visit the museum, the church and historic installations and pan for gold!
