Updates for Science Fiction, Gaming, Anime Convention progress

Well things are going good. I have been doing updates on the site and have decided to let people know whats going on at least in my neck of the Con.
I have been trying to get the site to rank well for Science Fiction Convention or Gaming Convention or Anime Convention for search terms. We do great locally in the state of Florida. But I would like to do better Nationally. If anyone reads this how about helping us out with a link. Its lots of hard work to get links to the Con site but I do the best I can. If you have a site out there about Science Fiction Conventions or Gaming Conventions or Anime Conventions please throw us a bone and give us a link. Heck if you just have a site please give us a link. Got an idea we can use to make the site better leave a comment here. Thanks

AMV Contest Rules now online!

We’ve added the rules to the AMV contest which will be held on Sunday the 3rd at the convention. If you have any questions please email destination_yume@hotmail.com.

PayPal Checkout Now Live!

New for 2008, we have added an online Paypal checkout for your convenience to pay by credit or debit card. Attendees still have the option of printing out the .pdf version of the registration form and mailing it. Dealers and artists will still need to register by snail mail at this time using the Dealer registration form found on the registration page of the website.

Photo Gallery Plugin Up and Working!

All the 2007 gallery photos are up with both single image (from catalog) and slideshow options. Check out the teeny-tiny sidebar slideshow, too! Check it all out for yourself.

Interactive Google Map Added

I added an interactive Google map to the Location / Directions page. Now if anyone has trouble locating where the hotel is, they can navigate to and from the hotel using the controls on the map (and even switch to satellite view to see what it really looks like.)

New Site Design Up and Running

Bear with us a few days and nights while we get everything re-implemented on this new site.

While it looks a little different, the real changes are “under the hood,” so to speak. For example, on the sidebar you’ll find an orange “subscribe” button that you can use to add Ancient City Con to your RSS feeds and instantly be informed when new changes occur.

Hope you enjoy it!
