The Bayside Photography Special Interest Group (SIG) meets on the second Saturday of every month.

The SIG aims to provide a forum for people of all ages to share their photographic experiences and learn from fellow enthusiasts.

Its been a little while since my last post however I am happy to confirm that the porteous.org web site is back on line.

A little while ago I commissioned an engineer to overhaul the hardware that is used to host this web site including the development of a reliable backup solution....

I had a good plan but the plan fell over when the engineer left the company he was working for.

As you can see the porteous.org web site is back with a slightly different look and feel.

Based on your feedback, we have added a couple of new features to porteous.org, the most significant being a threaded discussion forum.

A forum is an online discussion group, where registered participants with common interests can exchange open messages, post ideas, suggestions, questions and answers.

The forum can also be searched so in time as the community grows so will is value to genealogy researches.

Welcome, we have been working to develop an online Porteous community for some time now. This is our contribution to fostering a community based web site specifically for Porteous & related interest families.

Early on we took the opportunity to register the http://www.porteous.org domain name so that it would be available to the Porteous community. Its worth pointing out that just prior to securing ownership the porteous.org domain had been occupied by a cyber squatter.
