• You can now comment on the blog without a login, thanks to another extension that was installed.
• We've split out registration into separate menu options:  Monthly Meetings & Spring Conference.  This should make finding events a little easier.
• We've updated the technical links and renamed the menu item as "iResources".
• When registering for events, you'll now see the location as a link.  Click on the link to get details, such as address, phone, etc.  From there you can click on another link to go to Google Maps.

WMCPA Website Changes

As you've probably already noticed, the WMCPA website has undergone some major changes. We have moved to using a PHP-based Content Management System - Joomla. And we're now running our website on an iSeries! Special thanks go out to Ray Koukari and Gateway Technical College in Kenosha for hosting our site.
