Weve just upgraded the message board so it may look and act a little different. Any problems let me know.
Now make use of it! 🙂

Weve just updated our Classified Ads with the option to include images again.
HOLs Classified Ads is a free service for personal use by Haysville area residents.

As you can see weve made some changes to HOL. Most all of the features are still here just as before with the exception of a few. Weve eliminated the Yellow Pages, Coupons, Advertising and a couple of “Feature” pages. This remodeling of HOL is a work in progress so bare with me and let me know if you encounter any problems. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
More details to come.

Thanks, Randy.

As youve probably noticed by now weve installed a new menu on HOL to resolve compatibilty problems we were having with the old one. This new menu requires you to actually click on the category of choice. A sub menu should then appear below the main menu where you will choose the page youd like to view.
If you have any problems with this new menu let me know.
Im not for sure if this will become the permanent menu or not. Ill wait to see what kind of feed back I get.
Thanks.

It was recently brought to our attention that HOLs drop down menu was not working with Internet Explorer 7. We now have it working on all pages of HOL except for the Message Board. We are still working on a fix or replacement menu.
Thanks.

Haysville Onlines web host is making changes and moving us to a new server. This process had caused a few of HOLs features to stop working. We believe we have most everything working now but if you encounter any problems please let us know.
Thanks.

October 10th is Haysville Onlines 5th anniversary. Wow! Its hard to believe its been 5 years since we first went online. A little HOL history… When I first created HOL, the City of Haysville had a website but it was static and didn’t provide a lot of the information that I thought a city’s website should. At that time I contacted that site’s webmaster to make my suggestions but never saw any changes nor received a reply. I then decided to create my own interactive unofficial Haysville website with a large portion of the content like news, photos and events, being provided by the residents themselves. I also wanted to create a meeting place where residents could voice their opinions whether positive or negative. Throw in what I knew and could find about Haysville’s history, a few fun things and Haysville Online was born.
HOL was not my first venture in providing an online service. This hobby dates back to the days before the Internet and my title of Webmaster to when the BBS ruled and my title was SysOp (anyone remember the BBS?). When HOL was started I had no idea it would become what it has today in the amount of information within the site and the number of visitors we get. Visitors are not just limited to the locals either. We receive e-mails from former Haysville residents who like to keep in touch with whats going on in the old hometown and have even had comments from visitors in other countries who check the site to see what its like where a relative lives.
Since HOL’s beginning 5 years ago our visitors have steadily increased. As of our 5th anniversary we are receiving an average of over 10000 page views per month and our newsletter has 161 subscribers. I would like to let you know that it is a pleasure to provide this service to such a fine community and to thank you all for your continued support. Also a special thanks to these local businesses who have supported us over the past 5 years… Amandas Floral, Bergmanns Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch, Blackburn Automotive, Butterflys Giftshop, Changes Family Hair Care, Dairy Queen, Debbie Freese Certified Massage Therapist, Haysville Florist, House of Screams, Leekers Family Foods, Perfect Touch, Shades of Summer, The Haysville Times, Rhonda Townson Home Interiors, Tara Wolfenbarger – Mary Kay and West Haysville Baptist Church.
We are looking forward to many more years online and the changes that will come to both this website and the city. For more info on HOLs 5 years online, check out the HOL Scrapbook.
