Reason #21 to attend Mountain-Con: SHINY! (New Stuff)

Reason #21 to attend Mountain-Con:
SHINY! (New Stuff)

Nothing is as permanent as change ... and don't we know it!

Our Web site has gone through a major revamp, and went live this week. We not only have a brand new look, but new forums, "Mountain-Con TV" (courtesy of hulu.com), and a list of up-to-the-minute announcements. Navigating the new site is also a little bit different from getting around on the old one

For example:

• The "News" link takes you to our up-to-date news ... which right now is pretty empty because the site went live just this week.
• Clicking the "Home" tab takes you to the home page ... and changes the photo of the guest featured on the page. This is also where you find "Mountain-Con TV" (provided through hulu.com), announcements of special events (like Richard Herd's auditions class and Sarah Douglas's "Resident Alien"), and so forth.
• "About Mountain-Con" takes you to several different sections. These include general information and a FAQ page as well as a history of Mountain-Con's past guest lineups. This section also has our programming schedule, gaming schedule, KidCon schedule, Media Room and Anime Room schedules (as soon as these get published), information about our Banquet With the Stars, the Mountain-Con Film Festival rules & entry form, and has a place to show off props.
  • Yes, there IS a gaming schedule up right now!
• The "Guests" tab has guest information. Just click on the individual guest's name. A window will pop up with information about that particular Mountain-Con guest.
  • This is also where we will announce changes to our guest lineup. Please keep in mind that all guest appearances are subject to professional commitment and may be canceled or changed at a moment's notice. Mountain-Con is not responsible for any such changes, but will endeavor to substitute another guest if a scheduled guest becomes unavailable.
• "Links" takes you to our friends' Web sites. There are tabs for clubs, other conventions, former guests' pages, online comics sites, and stuff we couldn't fit under other tabs.
  • Note: The "Links" tab is also where you can find information on prices for advertising in our program book.
• The "Forum" tab, of course, takes you to our brand new, redesigned forums. Unfortunately you'll have to sign up again, since this new forum is in a completely different format than the previous forums page. (Guess that means we start the trivia round robin over once again! LOL)
• Finally, the "Contact Us" tab shows the e-mails for all of the positions at Mountain-Con, including who holds the current position. If you have a question about Mountain-Con, THIS is where you go to find out who to ask!

We hope you enjoyed the tutorial and, most of all, that you like our new Web site. To quote the crew of the Firefly-class transport vessel Serenity... Shiny!

One final thing...
Please keep in mind that all guest appearances are subject to professional commitment and may be canceled or changed at a moment's notice. Mountain-Con is not responsible for any such changes, but will endeavor to substitute another guest if a scheduled guest becomes unavailable.

(Reminder: Pre-sale tickets for an adult, 3-day Mountain-Con VI pass are $40. After August 31st, we will discontinue the pre-sale registration and sell tickets at the door for $45. Single-day rates are also available at the door.)
