eSFL Newsletter-22 Jan 2012
Today is the eSFL's first weekly newsletter, it will provide info to
members and team owners of important dates, upcoming events, website
changes/enhancements, eSFL Radio air times, and more. Owners and members
are encouraged to provide feedback on the info along with suggestions.
The eSFL commissioner site has changed dramatically in both appearance and content.
Each 2011 team owner has been registered as a member of the commissioner web site. You do not need to register again! If you visit the page without logging in you will not enjoy the sites full potential. You can log in using the first part of your team name and the same password you use on the official site to set your lineup, waive, add drop, etc.. The user name does not contain any special characters so leave them out. For example, the Temp's Texas Boy's will use the user name of Temps and the same password he uses on the official site. Kav's Kavanators would use the user name Kavs and the same password he uses on the official site, so on so on. If you cannot log in send me an email, you can log in as Guest with the password Guest until I correct the issue for you. However, logging in as Guest has restrictions on the page and will not display the medals for your team of course. Once you have logged in with your user name and password you can edit your info as you wish. Avatars, addresses, security, photos, user name change, etc.. I ask everyone to restrict the user name to 12 letters/numbers so the page layout can hold the name when viewing who is online.
Once logged in you can view the calender for upcoming events such as draft dates, eSFL Radio program dates, etc.. Also, feel free to use the CHAT BOX and take the polls on the right column of the page.
At the top of the Page in the links section you will find a link titled WRITE NEWS, anyone who logs in can write news and info and it will be placed on the eSFL commissioner site front page once the commissioner has moderated it.
The address of the commissioner site has changed from www.estandoutleague.com to www.estandoutleague.com/eSFL
Note the eSFL at the ending of the URL. The reason for the change was to implement the new site as a PHP site rather than strictly html and to add additional pages under the estandoutleague domain. So, now under estandoutleague.com you may find a fishing site as www.estandoutleague.com/fishing
In making this change we will soon be adding the site www.estandoutleague.com/eSFL2 to accommodate a commissioner site for the new eSFL playoff league named eSFL II. The site will be similar to the original eSFL site and will serve as a way to keep history and other data separate from the eSFL. For those unaware of the eSFL II, it is a playoff fantasy league that we started this year that has 7 teams. It is a total point league and we draft before the playoffs on eSFL Radio. That live event was entertaining to say the least and was a hi lite of the season thus far. To view the current standings and data of the league go to http://www.fantasyleaguemanager.com/playoffs/esflelim/index.php
As far as the new commissioner web site goes, there are many changes that I think are all positive. First and foremost, the history section has been cleaned up and made easier to navigate. The whole purpose for the commissioner site is history so that was the first step. I would like to point out team pages are in work and at this time about one team page per day is updated. When you go to a team page there are two quick ways to know if you are viewing updated info: the first way is to check the date at the top of the page. If it is anytime after December 2011 it is likely current. The second way is the format and layout of the page. If the layout has the award medals and organizational value on the right hand column of the page it is likely current. Finally, if you scroll down to the area that shows info about each season 2011 will be complete if it is current. If a page is considered current and you see errors or missing ADVANCED MEDAL SYSTEM (AMS) awards you believe you are entitled to please let me know.
Speaking of the AMS, you will notice when you view an updated team page a row of medals on the page. The medals represent what that team owner has achieved and it relates directly to the organizational value formula that can be viewed by following the link above the medals. There is also a link below the medals and on the commissioner site that will show the precedence of medals and their value. To view each medal details follow the link on the commissioner site ORGANIZATIONAL AND MEDAL VALUE under the MEDALS link at the top of the page. This medal system was incorporated to provide certain incentives to owners for accomplishment and also provide an easy and quick view of where each team stands as far as success in the league over the teams history.
So, the fantasy football season is over for those not participating in the eSFL II playoff league, but you can enjoy the eSFL all year by going to the commissioner site and psoting news, chatting, viewing upcoming events on the calander, and try to earn AMS medals.
Let me know what you think about the new site and if you have any suggestions. There are still a few dead links on the site but those pages are in work. Some of the pages may still open in a new window when you click the link, but most are scheduled for rework to have them open in the same window on the commissioner site.
And finally, the historical records and coach wins section is scheduled for updating once all team pages are complete.
Look forward to hearing fromm all you guys soon, and if you want removed from the newsletter mailing list let me know.
