Holy Metropolis GOC Releases Site Redesign

Details: Created on Monday, 10 August 2009 16:47

The Holy Metropolis GOC of America is pleased to release its redesigned site. The template was completely redesigned and the database was moved to a better and more high-powered server. In addition, we are scanning through all of the articles that had suffered character corruption (the presence of squares and question marks, especially in the Greek articles) during a previous database restoration, in order to correct them.

The sermons will be restored in the coming days, and the Photo gallery is being completely redone. We did not, however, wish to delay the release of the site further, so please pardon the inconvenience.
