Website Update - The kinder, gentler Wiard

2001-09-27 by grantrichter2001@yahoo.com

Hello All,

I just finished updating the Wiard website. The Woggle Bug page 
was added with some nice graphics (I hope).

The language of the site was revised to be explain things better 
and to avoid undiplomatic language. I'm trying to keep a lighter 
tone, because everything is so heavy lately.

It seems to me the country as a whole is going to start having to 
think more carefully what and how we say things. Americans 
tend to speak frankly about matters of information, but that 
frankness can be interpreted as indifference to other peoples 
situation.

To the best I am able, I tried to clear up some of the less 
informative language and explain business practices more 
clearly.

The matter of shipping internationally is complex, it seems 
simple but can lead to hours of phone calls and paper work. All 
of that disappears if the customer simply has an account 
number with FedEx or UPS. The new security measures can only 
make things more complicated.

Best Regards,

Grant Richter
