News » New Website

Welcome to your new CBA website.

The goal of this website is to make CBA news, events and resources more accessible to the CBA membership.

CBA news will be published to the website, along with occasional magazine excerpts and related announcements. These news items will be compiled into an RSS feed for easy consumption. You can subscribe to RSS feeds through most web browsers (just by clicking the orange RSS icon) or through a desktop RSS reader.

Upcoming Events and Classes will be featured on the homepage, as well as on their own calendar pages (http://calsmith.org/events/calendar/ and http://calsmith.org/classes/calendar/). Within these calendar pages you can search for events or classes by month, date, or by tagged topic.

Tags are descriptive keywords attached to events, classes, news articles, or magazine issues to facilitate filtering and searching. Clicking on a tag will filter for items that contain that tag.

On the right-hand sidebar you’ll see what’s called a ‘tag cloud’, a jumble of tags that vary in size and boldness. The bigger and bolder a tag is, the more items it matches. Clicking on a word in a tag cloud will filter items by that keyword.

There is a new forum on the CBA website, but unfortunately the forum posts from the previous website were not transferrable. Hopefully we’ve managed to transfer the memberships, but if you didn’t receive an activation email, then please accept our apology and register for the forums here.

Current CBA members can put their shop on the CBA map by clicking the “Yes Please” box (under “Would you like to display your shop location on our map?”) on their profiles. Once your membership is verified your shop will appear on the map. You can take your shop off the map any time by just clicking the “No Thanks” box on your forum profile.

Current CBA members can also be featured on our Gallery page (there is a limit of 20 photos). If you have a gallery page and you’ve registered with our forums, you can enter your website address in your profile and it will display on your gallery page, directing visitors to your website.

Finally, CBA magazine archives are available here – check your most recent magazine issue for the password to enter the archives (the username is CBA.)

I hope you enjoy the new website, please contact me if you have any questions or find any errors with it.
