The majority of material from the current USAT website is already converted over to the new site and more material will be added in the coming weeks. The new website platform will provide you with more multimedia options and links to many taekwondo-related material in a concise and professional-looking site. As with any new project there will be some growing pains and an adjustment period in locating your favorite sections of the current website, but we think you will enjoy the end result. If you have any questions or concerns with the new site, please contact Bill Kellick at bill.kellick@usa-taekwondo.us. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://the-dojang.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/the_dojang Copyright 1994-2008: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
