One Community Weekly Progress Update #11

Here are all the details and more of what is discussed in the video blog:

ONE OF THE BIGGEST UPDATES SO FAR THIS YEAR

We moved our entire website from http://www.OneCommunityRanch.org to where you are now at http://www.OneCommunityGlobal.org! We have wanted to do this for a long time but the effort needed to make it happen in conjunction with everything else we are working on was just too much. Well, we finally realized that the website is growing so fast that we had better do it NOW or it was just going to get more and more difficult to do in the future. Just a few of the reasons for this move were:

To better represent our global approach and goals
Simplification of ALL website URLs on the new site
Streamlining of the formatting for all URLs on the new site
A desire to shed any stigma and/or preconceived notions attached to the word “ranch”
A desire for a URL that fit with the names of our various open source programs – “OneCommunityRanch.org/Education-For-Life” or “www.OneCommunityRanch.org/Highest-Good-Food” just didn’t have the feel we were wishing to convey for the magnitude of these programs and their reach and impact

There are a few details still being completed (deleting old pages from the old site, sharing all the new pages through our networks, continued editing and simplification) but the vast majority of the move is already done including:

Full migration of all pages
Rebuilding the site maps for both websites
Pointing of all internal links in the old site to this new site
Rebuilding of all menus in the old site so they link to the new site too
Simplification/reduction of all URLs in the new site so they are now easy to remember and fairly easy to just guess
Streamlining of all URLs in the new site so that they follow the same simple format for all open source portals, etc.

HOW YOU CAN HELP US WITH THIS NEW MOVE

“LIKE” AND SHARE THE PAGES YOU ENJOY THE MOST! When we moved the site we lost “all of our social media love” in that all our pages now have zero likes and shares on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Some of these pages had hundreds before this move and now they have none… which is really sad for us because we loved seeing and sharing with others all the support and appreciation we’d gotten on some of these pages.

We’re now committed to FURTHER SIMPLIFYING and then sharing a page a day (in addition to new content) to get our message out to the world even more. If you’d like to help us, just liking our posts or helping share some of these new pages is more helpful than most people realize because it helps us show investors and other interested parties that what we are doing is wanted, supported, and interesting to people.

SEGO CENTER 3D PROGRESS

Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of Harris Design & Technology Services) continues to work on the SEGO Center 3D! The SEGO Center is a huge aspect of our approach to making no-impact living mainstream because it will replace the traditional living room, dining room, laundry room, kitchen, and library for over 200 homes… all in one building. This will reduce materials costs, increase the beauty and experience possible in these spaces, and dramatically increase efficiency, and allow for a new level of no-impact and “positive impact” research, development, and demonstration for people to visit, experience, and duplicate.
