"Answer Guy" dead, web site improvements continue
Monday, July 09, 2007
No, not Hans Holznagel, United Church of Christ Minister for Community Life... the paternalistic character he portrayed in guiding visitors through the UCC's new web site. According to the UCC web team, the Answer Guy's demise was due to natural causes as the plan all along was to keep the flash demo of the site on the UCC's front page only through the new web site launch.
Although the new site has been up for nearly a month, it is still experiencing some problems. Dan Hazard of the UCC's web team explained that some components of UCC.org reside on the UCCforums.com site which has been hampered by hosting problems and is causing UCC.org to load longer than it should. Hazard noted that recent changes to the web site's template should alleviate the problem from interfering with UCC.org, but problems with the the forums remain. The UCC web team is working with the host to fix the problems so the archive of discussion threads can be retained.
In the meantime, if you miss the UCC "Answer Guy", you can still find the demo here. Who knows... maybe a rap video on church will be next.
