Those of you who have seen the site before have no doubt noticed a significant change in the site layout. This was caused, to a large part, but my choice to move hosts.

Softcom, my old host, has served me faithfully for over five years now for my other projects, but simply didn’t provide the services I needed to make this site what I wanted it to be. I thought that the SharePoint Team Services option that they offered was the answer. I was wrong. It didn’t do what I wanted and wasn’t stable enough to handle the traffic. To top it off, it was too expensive. Webmasters offers everything I wanted at a fraction of the cost.

I am still working on re-creating the options that SharePoint offered with other scripts provided by Webmasters, but thus far the only thing I can’t find a way to reproduce are the polls and petitions. I hope to come up with something soon.

Please be patient with me through the next few days of broken links and other errors. I hope this to be the final move for the site and am looking for tremendous site growth in the next few months. If you’re reading this then the domain name(s) now point to this new location, which will steer all of the traffic here as well.

I hold in my handa a “Special Edition” of the “A Walk To Remember” Soundtrack released simotaniously with “Coverage.” The special edition contains all of the original tracks from the first CD PLUS:

* Cannonball by The Breeders
* Only Hope (Movie Dialog Version)
* Friday On My Mind by Noogie
* Empty Spaces by Fuel

Order yours today from the “A Walk To Remember” Online Store (in Association with Amazon.com) and while you’re there, don’t forget to pick up a copy of “Coverage”

As you can see the integration of “A Walk Together” Online and the “A Walk To Remember” Shrine is more or less complete. The new site will retain the name “A Walk To Remember” Online and all of the old interactive content (message boards, polls, surveys, etc.) but has inherited the color scheme (“theme”) of the Shrine, as well as the all of my original content. Fairly soon the old shortcut domain http://www.awtr.org/ will point here as well.

Please excuse the mess and the occasional broken links while I work on fixing them. Bugg reports can be sent to the email address below.

I’ve updated and expanded the AWTR FAQ to include more information about Nicholas Sparks’ book. Follow the link below to the new location.

My information indicates that Mandy Moore’s fourth CD, tentatively called “Coverage” will be released

in stores on August 26, 2003. As soon as they list it, I will provide you with a link to pre-order it
through our Online store (in association with Amazon.com).

“Coverage” will consist of “Covers” (remakes) of older songs, presented in a different style. One such
song will be by “Cat Stevens” [I’m hoping for either “Where Do The Children Play” or “Peace Train”].
