Hello Webon users!

So you may have noticed the change to the homepage and we want to take a few moments and fill you in on what's going on. First off and most importantly... nothing bad.

In fact, it's great!

As you may or may not be aware, Webon is made by Lycos and Lycos also owns the Tripod and Angelfire hosting properties. Webon is as of now the official new Site Builder for Tripod (http://www.tripod.com) and is replacing the Trellix Site Builder. The "big project" we've alluded to in recent blog posts is the migration process from Trellix into Webon and many of the features that have appeared in Webon over the last few months were things that Trellix did that Webon also needed to do (table tool, audio, documents, etc).

What this means to you is that Webon's future is more secure and exciting than ever.

Now that Webon is on Tripod our userbase will be growing dramatically over the next year. To meet this challenge we have brought on some new programmers to add to our excellent existing team. We will be doing rounds of bug fixing and usability improvements throughout August and some of September. At the same time we'll be starting work on a host of new features and services.

Some of our ideas for Webon include:

• PayPal Shopping Cart (this is almost complete and should become available soon)
• GREATLY expanded Template Library (we're holding interviews this week for a person to become the main go to person for Templates and expect to start cranking out new ones every week beginning later this month).
• Easier options for customizing Styles
• Improved connectors to various Social Networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, etc
• Many new Add-ons (like a wiki tool, a forum, various other widgets, etc)
• Better integration of Webon with Angelfire.
• Lots of other stuff

At some point later in the year we will roll you, our existing userbase, into either Tripod or Angelfire and you will pick up additional functionality and features. Your sites will NOT be affected negatively.

We are so appreciative of your loyalty and we really want to reward our existing users for that by continuing to improve Webon in myriad ways. Thanks so much for choosing Webon!
