** Financial Status of Web Site
**
Well, let's start off with the bad news. Our USS Newport News
Web Site Checking Account has become empty. It's been a year
since the last cry for financial help and it looks like it is
again time to ask for donations to support the web site.
We make available to all shipmates, our income and expense
information so that you can see where the money comes from and
where it goes.

** Web Site
is Growing! **
Our web site just keeps growing!! It is now almost 400 web
pages of USS Newport News information!! AND GROWING
From Dec 1999 through the first half of 2001, our web site
was allowed 80 meg of disk space for to hold all our web pages,
all our pictures and web site features.
During most of this year (2001) we have been fighting disk
space problems. Constantly going over out allowed amount and
having to clean and remove items to keep within our Disk
Allocation.
Finally, we grew to 120 meg of disk space and we had already
cleaned up as much as we could and removed all the "unimportant"
stuff. The USS NN Webmaster group had to decide to increase our
disk space or start removing the Movie files, Sound files and
possible even our Picture Page sections to solve the problem.
The decision was made to go ahead and spend the extra $40.00 a
month to bring out Disk Allocation amount up to the 120 Meg that
the web site was at.
This was a hard decision because it brought our monthly web
hosting cost up to $90.00 per month! If we can not round up
enough donations to pay for this amount of disk space, we will
need to remove the Movie files and Sound files from the web site
to bring out disk space down to where we need to be.
Unfortunately, the 120 meg of disk space that we upgraded to
only covers what we are already using and leaves no room for
future growth. We will still need to remove some of the "less
popular" movie and sound files to make room for growth of the
web site, but this will let us keep the movie and sound files
that are visited the most.
