Finally, the donation pages of Green Cross Switzerland site are finished. The pages were uploaded and they’re now online at Green Cross contact page, also available in German, French and Italian languages. It was not an easy job since it required a lot of thinking, actually a little bit of programming because I used PHP for those particular pages.

I’m not a programmer but I was able to do such anyway. I’m so happy. I again accomplished something.

The last time I wrote about it was on June 08, 2006, Green Cross Donation Page. Then, I waited for the feedback of the Executive Director of Green Cross Switzerland. She was probably so busy that she was only able to write me last week and asked for some more that need to be included. So, once again, I revised the pages.

I was not able to do the revision right away because I needed a script and I have to think what to do with the pages. On Monday she wrote me again, but this time, for some updates at the “publications” pages. I updated the pages for some banners that can be downloaded from the site. The banners can be used at the other sites for advertising purposes. Then, of course, I expected it already, she asked me about the donation pages.

I was working on it but can’t seem to think of the script. Then on Tuesday, I finally found the solution to my problem. I tried it and it worked. I informed her and showed the pages to her. Just few more changes and I finally finished the pages. I was communicating with her through email yesterday and today for the whole afternoon because I really wanted those pages done.

Now, I can at least rest and relax, just for the meantime. I haven’t finished revising the other websites yet. I need more revisions to be done in the next few days, or in the next few weeks, or it could even take months.

Finally, I was able to revise Weggis.net Web site. The look is not really different from the old web design. I just improved it a little bit. I changed all the pages from HTML to XHTML and PHP but then realized that I’d better integrate it with WordPress.

I integrated my own coded XHTML and PHP pages with WordPress. I redirected HTML pages to the new pages. Weggis.net is now more interactive. I just designed my own theme based on the original site.

I installed the latest version of WordPress 2.0.3 and also used WordPress Widgets. The Widgets make the sidebar easy to tweak. If what you want is not included in the original zip file, just download that particular Widget Plugin, upload it at the Plugins folder and activate it. Once activated, you’ll see the Sidebar Widgets along with the Themes, Theme Editor at the Site Admin Presentation. If the Widget Plugin is not activated, then you will not see any change at the Site Admin Presentation.

I started revising it last week, exactly seven days ago. So I was quite busy for the past few days. But even before that, I was already quite busy then. I was busy revising my other websites and doing the donation pages of Green Cross Switzerland.

Speaking of Green Cross Switzerland, we haven’t finalized the donation pages yet. I’m still waiting for the English, Italian and French translations as the pages were done in German language.

Yesterday, I updated Green Cross Switzerland Media pages regarding the 1st National Nuclear Dialogue in Moscow on July 3-4, 2006. The Nuclear and Disarmament Experts emphasize the importance of the demilitarization of the materials and weapons of mass destruction.

The National Nuclear Dialogue was held 10 days before the 2006 G8 Summit in St. Petersburg, Russia where efforts of the G8 led “Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction” will be highly prioritized.
