We are glad to announce that Mairi A. Macdonald’s exhaustive ‘History of the Gaelic Society of Inverness from 1871–1971’ — originally published in volume XLVI of the Society’s Transactions — is once again online in its entirety, and can be viewed here.
Dreadfully overdue, the new GSI site is now online. You will notice some changes, not the least of which is the new look. This is temporary — GSI Online will return to a move recognisable design once the move has been completed. For now, the focus is on getting a working site free of any kinks or bugs.
From a usability standpoint, the site is now much improved, both for its writers and its readers; there is now a functioning RSS feed, which is available here.
This allows you to subscribe to the GSI’s feed with a news aggregator to automatically check for new posts, rather than manually visiting the site every time. Most modern browsers — such as Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, and Safari 3 — have a an aggregator built in. There are also various standalone applications that do the same.
For more information on the subject, I direct you to the Wikipedia entry on RSS feed aggregators.
The site and its contents are now searchable, using the search field on the left of every page, and there is also a calendar function to go to posts made on specific days. For those interested, a technical overview of the changes made to the site takes place below the cut.
To those with no interest in the technical details, I’d like to welcome you to the new Gaelic Society of Inverness site!
