New Website - Typos, Errors, Outdated Info, Etc. . .

Post by ski »

In a effort to help the powers that be make the website into the powerful tool that it should be, here are a few places where change is needed . . . Please feel free to help by adding to this list... Let's help The Beast get this thing right . . .

~ The Wobbly Halloween party is over...... why is it still featured 4 days later ?
~ Sunshine Daydream Festival..... Tie-Dye is misspelled
~ The Beast Cams . . . why is this plural when we can only access the K1 cam ??
~ Total Snowfall 4" ? ? ? OK, yeah I know it snowed, but it's all gone
~ Dining Page - Cascades . . .do we really need to call it a "menue"
~ Dining Page - Hemingways . . . . Spectator is misspelled
~ Dining Page - Little Harry's . . . .General is misspelled
~ Dining Page - Lookout . . .Wings are no longer free . . .duh
~ Dining Page - McGraths . . . Reuben is misspelled
~ Dining Page - Moguls . . . fare is misspelled
~ Dining Page - Pasta Pot . . . cuisine is misspelled
~ Dining Page - Long Trail Brewery . . . could use some commas
~ Groups Tab - Killington is misspelled.

I'm tired of copy editing for now. Hopefully TH or somebody at K will take note and fix this stuff . . . .

:shock:

-Ovations : Spelled Chef Aspell one time and Apell the other. One of those must be a typo.

Also, directing us to the insider and then on the insider directing us to the blog because the insider is going away is a bit puzzling. Why not just send us to the blog first?

Actually this is an example of extreme accuracy. Chef Aspell legally changed his name to Apell while the copy was being typed.

How embarrassing for Killington management and the marketing company they hired to do this.

Putting a proffessional website up without even running the text through spellcheck or having others proofread is bush league. Looks like K went the cheapest way possible and hired a bunch of amateurs to do their site and branding. But I guess thats appropriate since K mgt seems like a bunch of amateurs in the ski resort industry too.

The insider is going away? I guess they couldn't compete with http://www.killington-insider.com :wink:
