Need a Website for your recreated historical unit?
I have experience writing attractive Web-compliant sites in both HTML 3.2 and 4.01. More importantly, I am a living historian with over 23 years of experience in both Civil and Revolutionary War units and museum interpretation. I understand your needs and can write a site that will appeal to the kind of people you want. Email me with an idea of your needs (having no idea is ok) at hardsdisk@hardsdisk.net and I will give you my recommendations, the URL for some sample pages and a free quote.
This service is in no way associated with the Third New Jersey Regiment, Inc.
This site is a reworked and updated version of the original www.jerseyblues.org which was expertly designed and published by Dan Smith. Much of the text has been lifted from the original pages. All of the current pages have been completely rewritten to approximate the originals while incorporating new features and graphics. Several new pages and members-only services have been added.
All formatting was done using a beige Macintosh G3 300 MHz, using the Mac browser iCab 3.0 as a validator. iCab cache documents were used for the HTML files and modified using the text editor; BBEdit. Early in 2005, the pages were rewritten to the HTML 4.01 standard. Testing was done on Macs and PCs in iCab, Mozilla, Netscape 6 and 7 (Netscape 4.x can't handle some styles), Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer. Nearly uniform cross-browser rendering was made possible through the use of styles. The Mac version of Netscape 6.0 had an odd flickering problem when animated GIFs were on the page, as did Mozilla. IE had problems disposing the frames of the animated GIF slide show properly, and required special considerations for its non-web-standards, as did Netscape. The WebTV browser will not render the pages on this site (or any others) anywhere close to the way they were written. If this is a problem, your best course of action is to contact MSNTV and tell them that you want a standards compliant product. You will of course, be on a fool's errand. Each browser interpreted the MIDI music files differently and as MIDI files go, it's really a matter of taste. If you want to hear some real 18th century field music, check out the WAV files in merchandise section of the Brigade of the American Revolution site or better yet, attend any Brigade event and experience it live in its authentic setting. If you are still reading this, you probably need to get out more anyway.

Some of the music files on this site have been collected from the Web from sources that offered them freely. Each MIDI event list was checked for copyright information and none was found. If you have intellectual rights to any of these period tunes, please contact me with proof and if you request it, I will remove the files in question. Please do not link to the MIDI files on this site. Such links will fail, sooner or later, due to regular restructuring of the site. Thank you.
