I am pleased to announce that a beta edition of the IVRPA website is now available.
The new site incorporates a content management system, and is much easier to
use. Each IVRPA can post text (blog), add a banner image, submit images to a gallery,
create links to a personal web site, and much more.We are so excited about this new site, and we await your feedback on our new website.
Try it out, post your stuff, and let us know what you think. With everyone's input
Memoires of a site admin

The IVRPA website is a community site. That's why we, the IVRPA Board of Directors and webteam, chose Drupal as a backend for the new website. Drupal is used a lot for blog(-like) websites, but it can do much more than just host a (series of) blog(s). It's really optimally suited for community sites such as ours; The tagline of the Drupal project is 'community plumbing'. Even so, in hoping it will keep the site alive, we're offering IVRPA members the opportunity to host a blog or journal on this site (as well as aggregating current blogs).
