New Website Design

We're redesigning our website. The visual appearance of the new version will be very different. The link to our database that most users employ to search for and retrieve documents will still have a prominent place, but the link will take you to the www.masslandrecords.com site. Once there, you just have to select Middlesex North from the drop down menu of counties and then you're in business. The reason for this change is that many of our users continue to have problems using the current link that brings you directly to our search page. There's something about the design of that link at the ACS end that just doesn't work for some computers (and since ACS hasn't figured out how to fix it in the past six months, there's little reason to think that they'll fix it in the future). The other big change is that the blog will now appear on the main page of the website. This should expose more readers to it and might make it more likely that more of you will use the blog comment feature. Other than that, we're trying to make the layout of the rest of the site more logical and easier to follow. If all goes well, the new website should be on the air by close of business tomorrow, so please check it out.
