For some time the building database wasn’t working because of updates to newer versions of the programming language. I finally got around to fixing the errors so it works again. Since time has passed since the database was last updated downtown Milwaukee has changed quite a bit. Some of the information is out of date since last updated in 2017. I will be starting to work on doing those updates and add other information that is hidden in the database so researchers can find information about those buildings.

Stay tuned!

For those of you that know only the blog section of the website you may want to explore a little further. There is a steadily growing and updated database of downtown Milwaukee buildings. This database lists brief histories of existing and old buildings, some of which are long gone.

You can use the “Downtown Building Database Search” many different ways by searching by architect, building name or just by looking to see what is newly added to the list. I have been taking pictures of existing buildings to add to the database, finding older building images to scan, and doing extra research to find more information. This resource will continue to expand so check back often!

So I finally put together a few guides for working with the new blog. Most everyone should now be able to log in and comment and quite a few of you can write your own posts. If things aren’t working, shoot me an email.

The About section should give you a basic run-down of where things are. For the adventurous ones you can write something down and be famous! The Posting Guide section will step you through that process.

If we have some new people that want to try their hand and help us out here at Oldmilwaukee.net then email me and we will get you set up.

Ciao.

It took a lot of hairpulling but I think I have the blog set up the way I like it. This will change the way everyone interacts with the site but I think after all is said and done it will be a big improvement. The forums can still be found at the link to the right under “Side Streets”. These may be retired in the future to make everything simpler.

Stay tuned!

Any comments?
