3/8/2009
Today we focused on reviewing our e-mail and adding any new or editing old links that people have written to us to either replace or add onto the website. We also created a new photo gallery for the February 15th event we went to. So now you can review the new gallery. Currently we are in the process of developing a newsletter for “Reenactors Network”.
2/15/09 Updates:
With us updating the events page. We have now added all the events and divided them into separate categories. Hopefully we have explained what we were trying to accomplish when the page first uploads. We separated the festival and crafts fairs that are included in a “heritage events” tab. While any slow updated historical events are included in the tab called “more!” This tab will also included events with unknown dates, canceled until 2010, non-historical events: classes, balls,etc and living history events. If you have any questions about our events page please don’t hesitate to contact us.
2/14/09 Updates:
For the past month and 2 weeks we’ve been busy updating our links of units and events. There are a few new events listed this year, but many events this year have been canceled or have not yet been planned. Please continue to check for updated information on our website, as it is always being updated weekly-monthly.
12/29/08 Updates:
If you are currently using the old domain, you will be forward to the newest domain name. Also if you haven’t noticed we’ve updated the look of the site. We feel it is cleaners, and adds a little bit more color than the old site. We have also updated the events, but it will take some time since many of the events have not been updated through the original website.
12/9/08 Updates:
We hope everyone is having a happy holidays. We are busy working and updating the site. By the new year we are going to be moving Reenactors Network to a new address. Don’t worry if you still have the old address you can either update or continue to use it until it expires. The new site is found at www.wereenact.net.
If you find that some of the pages we have included in the past are not there any more you can easily find the information at one of our blogs which we will soon update as well. This is due to finding out which pages have been mostly viewed. We also thought that we would be able to obtain more information about the subject if we included them in a blog. Some of them include our classified, recipe & crafts and new recruits page.
7/22//08 Updates:
We just finished adding all the Civil War Battle Reenactments; we found thanks to Civil War Travelers.com. If you would like to know about any other events like balls, talks, tours and living history events please go to there site. It was to much time consuming for us to post everything if there is already an existing site that has posted all the civil war events online.
So far we haven’t found other period events posted online like the American Civil War, Renaissance, Celtic and Pirate Festivals. If you know of any sites or events please let us know; so we can forward the information to others. We also have updated the home page so that it will list the upcoming events.
7/21//08 Updates:
Added a new section to our website called “New Recruits”. We will post helpful websites that we think will help anybody who is interested in Reenacting. No matter what period you are interested in always research before you get into it. Get contact with a group so those individuals can help you find out more about where to get your equipment/ clothing and etc. WARNING this hobby gets really expensive fast so be prepared. The sites we have been to also warn to not try buy cheap because they won’t last you as much as those that are well made or high cost. Research and contacts is the key….
Another thing we want to mention is we just added two more photo galleries. One is Williamsburg VA during the fourth of July and the other we just went to this past weekend the living history of Gilmor’s Mill. We hope everyone enjoys them..
6/27/08 Updates:
Added more reenacting groups, historic societies and events on our website. Starting to now create a list of all the state parks and added a new listing to our event page. This includes non-historical events which include theme festivals like Celtic & Renaissance festivals, dances, camps and etc.
We just updated the look of our ghost page and are slowly searching for ghost societies but if there is already one that exist we will post it on our site instead of listing them all on our site. If you know of one please let us know…
6/9/2008 Updates:
Just updated the organization page. So you if you live within the New York or New Mexico area and would like information of Civil War reenacting units look to that page.
