WordPress, dugz.biz 2.0 and an Online Steward's Report Solution.
On the horizon:
1. Soon I will convert dugz.biz to WordPress. It's getting too big to handle updates manually. If I have a global change I need to make, I'm in Hell until all profiles are changed. This cannot stand. So to deal with this, I will be moving to a Content Management System (WordPress). Expect changes within the last quarter of 2013.
2. dugz.biz will have a second index page added, specifically for stagehand types. The site as it is has outgrown it's original purpose: A site that helps San Diego Stagehands find their way to Venues we work at. The second index (Home) page will be much simpler, cleaner and will only include the actual venues we work at. No other links to San Diego events, Airport flight status, etc. I might put links to San Diego Dive Bars, though...Information all stagehands need! This won't take long to roll out, maybe within a couple of weeks.
3. I'm finally starting work on the online Steward's Report.This will be an online Steward's Report that will do all the calculations and hour/pay documentation that you've come to expect from the current digital reports that are circulating around. There is still a long way to go, but I've made some good progress.
Some benefits of an online solution will be:
A. One solution that is in one location. Nobody will have different versions, some updated, some not.
B. Auto Save. When you create a report, a copy will be saved, and will be recoverable in case your computer dies.
C. If you have Internet access, you can use this tool.
A possible problem I'm facing is an ID issue. There's no way I can have everybody's Social Security number online. There will have to be another method of identification. Last 4 digits, a randomly generated number for each worker, or something else.
So there's an update for you.
Once again, Thank all 3 of you for your interest,
Du6
