Site news

Over the Christmas break, I will be updating the blog for more detailed info on photo gallery status and site updates. Look for a new header, layout may change and a few other details to make it a much more interesting place to visit.

Also......did you see the site is almost at half a million hits??? I'm sure this is not only hits but page hits but still, the number is outstanding.

Thank you parents and players for all your support and I look forward to photographing more things during your high school and undergrad years.

Summer news

Ah....the first day of summer and the temps prove it. Summer news for the IBJC photography and Alcoa athletes. I was out at the school for the football skills one morning and shot a lot of photos of the players in action. They will be posted on the IBJC site soon and some will be used for the AHS Football website that is coming in July 2009.

Site Changes

2009 already......so it's time for a change. Since we are in the middle of Basketball season it's only fitting to have a new header. It's not finished because there has only been one game photographed. As other action shots happen they will be added to the header. Hope to include some from GJV, BJV, GV and more from the BV games.

AES-AMS team shots are being worked on this week. A few have been posted in a BOYS FX gallery of Ryan to show you what the individual shot will look like and then several different effects that are going to be offered.

More to come so watch this blog and the main page of the photo site. Happy New Year.....looking forward to what 2009 brings.

Holiday Update

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. I know many are busy getting back to some sense of normalcy after Christmas just like we are here in my household. I'm looking forward to what 2009 brings and will be updating the site/blog with basketball. My next scheduled shoot for AHS is Jan 5th.

Also a quick note: Hope to have the www.alcoasports.com site up soon and we will post more things about the alcoasports site dedicated to our Tornadoes here on this blog in the next few weeks.

Availablity link moved on site

Due to the vast problems we have been having with the navbar code of the Images by Jenifer Clark site we had to move the Availability link to the Alcoa Sports drop down. This way the overlap of Home and Search should no longer be an issue. Sorry if this caused any problems.

Search page is now active

SEARCH PAGE IS ACTIVE. The search page has been created and we are putting the tags on the photos. This will take us some time but the keywords are working and you can search by name. Searching by jersey number is not possible at this time. We hope to have all the photos tagged by the end of next week so when you do a search it will be a complete scan of all the galleries.

Search option on IBJC site

If you notice there is now a SEARCH link at the top on the right of the navbar on the IBJC site. This page will allow you to see popular photos, search by date range, keyword search and the search bar. Keywords are great in that if you see one that you need there will be a drop down to tell you how many photos are under that keyword and all you have to do is click that word to see the photos. Several kinks will need to be worked out so notices will be posted on days were there is site maintenance. The photos and keywords are being updated and this will take us a little more time. Thanks for your patience with our growing pains.

Site Changes

If you are wondering about the look of the site or what is going on today, work is being done on this so we can get rid of the kinks in the navbar. That is the drop down list of galleries under the blue line. Plus we are trying to add a well needed search page for you to find your players photos. Each photo will need to be tagged so we have a team working on getting this updated for us now. These are good changes so please bear with us during our upgrades. After it's completed you will be able find photos by name and/or number along with just browsing the game gallery. The page is active and can be used. The tags are being added and we hope to have this completed within the next week or so.

Site Changes

For some time the navbar on the IBJC site has overlapped and looked just fine on this computer where we do site changes/updates. After noticing the look on another computer we went to work fixing the look. Only a few things have changed as of right now. The Guestbook and My Blog have been moved under Information so the navbar should look better.

The next change that you will notice sometime this week will be the search page. This will be where you can search by date range or keyword. This will take some time for the team to key every photo so you can find your player by name/number. Thanks for being patient with us, we are growing at an incredible rate and keeping things easy and simple is our mission.

There are many new things yet to come in terms of merchandise you can get with your photos. If you have suggestions feel free to email us on things you would like to see. Also, there are 2 polls here on this site that would be helpful for us to know how we are doing. Please vote.

Polls for Site Information

We have added 2 poll so we can get a feel on how this site is working for everyone. This will help us determine if we are working in the right direction on easy of navigation and usefulness. The IBJC site is the photography galleries. More polls will be added at a later date for categories like favorite photos and other fun things where prizes will be given. Please send us an email if you have any suggestions. The goal is to make this a top notch site for our Alcoa Tornadoes.

Site changes coming soon

Just to let you know that we have a search function coming soon where you will be able to search by date, date range, keyword or custom word. We are working on this feature and you will soon see a link on the navbar once it's completed and we know it works.....

Website Changes

I am in the process of making the site look and run smoother so if you happen to see something strange on the layout of the header/navbar just know that I'm working on this. My plan is to have the text box show only a small amount of info so you can see the slide show.
