SilverStripe installed!

20 October 2009

For a long period our WESWildcats.com website was operated with the 'PostNuke' Content Management Software. Since development has stopped on that program, we are no longer recieving updates for security holes, modernization, or basic troubleshooting. It was a software dinosaur that has now become extict. Our new site is powered with a program called SilverStripe. It does most of the same functions as the old software, but it's more streamlined and easier to manage.

What does this mean to you, our Wildcat end-users? Nothing much really. It's a lot more user friendly now than it was before, with simplified navigation. It's also newer and fresher, which means it's more secure, and hopefully will grow better and not obsolete. Soon we hope to be hiding little treats throughout that will make you and your children want to come back to see what's new. For now there may be some glitches and errors, Let us know and we'll fix them as soon as we can!

We hope to be putting together a 'Welcome Tour' in the near future, and if we do, this will be the place to find it. Thank you for your patience through this change!

NASA Picture of the Day

  • A Chameleon Sky
  • The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.
