    It is my great pleasure to announce the launch of the new Lepidopterists' Society website! Todd Gilligan and his wife have spent a great deal of time working on this project, which is now a reality. You can visit the new website at www.lepsoc.org.


    Its attributes include:


    - New design, scales automatically to all screen resolutions and devices, including tablets and phones
    - New logo and graphics, branding consistent with new brochures and meeting displays
    - Improved membership join/renew forms with automatic shipping options, late fee options, with a seamless Paypal back-end for payment
    - Membership login allows access to new Journal content on BioOne
    - Older Journal articles and News articles continue to be hosted at Yale
    - Resource pages on conservation, education, the Season Summary, etc.
    - Information on the Society including history, officers, committees, etc.


    Most significant changes are behind the scenes, such as:


    - New membership database is online and updated in real time as new accounts are created/activated
    - Membership database can be easily exported into Excel for creating the directory, archiving, etc.
    - New membership or renewal transactions are automatically coordinated with the database and Paypal
    - The Assistant Secretary has the ability to validate new membership information before activating their accounts
    - Users have the ability to edit/update their own account information directly on the website
    - Purchases from the website automatically calculate the correct shipping amounts
    - Member logins that provide access to protected pages allow for future posting of members-only web content
    - The entire site is based on a Drupal content management system that allows for different levels of administration
    - Up-to-date coding assures compatibility with future web browsers and devices


    NOTE: Everything on the new website is currently accessible to the general public EXCEPT the last 5 years of Journal articles, which are hosted on the BioOne website. These issues are only available to LepSoc members, who may access them via a user
    login. This user login can also be used to update member account information on the new LepSoc website. All other content on the LepSoc website is accessible without logging on. We will soon be sending login information to all current members for whom
    we have a valid email address. If you have questions about the new website please contact info@lepsoc.org.


    The Lepidopterists' Society is indebted to the Gilligans for bringing this wonderful new website to life!


    Happy surfing!
    John
