The Windows Club Launched
April 20th, 2009.
I am pleased to inform you that I have launched a new website The Windows Club. The site will be all that WinVistaClub is ... and more, and will cover Windows Vista, Windows 7 and beyond! WinVistaClub will be integrated with The Windows Club and the Forum too will be migrated there to its new home soon.
I have tried to keep the look and navigation similar to WVC. And for giving The Windows Club the look I wanted, I have to thank my MVP colleague Ramesh for customizing it, just the way I wanted to to look and behave, using WordPress. Sure, its still a work-in-progress, but things should look all set in a week or so.
I hope you will enjoy visiting TWC as much as you do visiting WVC. Gradually over a period of time, activity will move from WVC to TWC.
I would love to have us be in touch. Do consider subscribing to its RSS Feeds; or perhaps you'd like to follow it on Twitter.
Check out The Windows Club. I would love to hear your suggestions & comments there.
