The Cornwall Curling Club website is undergoing its first major revision since it was put in place in 2000. This is a test of the new news system. We have imported the old subscriber list for our emailed news into the new system. If you want to subscribe or unsubscribe to emailed news, please enter your email address in the “Get News by Email” section on the right hand sidebar at CornwallCurling.com.

The new news system has better formatting, and will allow you to comment on news items. The new system is based on the powerful “WordPress” blogging and content management platform. You can also subscribe to news items using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and an RSS reader such as Google Reader or Bloglines — just click on the orange button at the top of the sidebar.

We’ll be rolling out more website features, including a photo album, as time permits. Your suggestions are appreciated.
