Map of local bodies not working properly
Due to what appears to be a problem outside our control, the map of local bodies on the U.S. Grand Lodge website is not working properly. Body locations are still visible, but they are not color-coded by type, nor are they clickable to get the body name and other information. You can still use the list of local body names and locations on that same page or the full directory of contact information.

USGL public website URLs changed
Numerous users have complained about the lengthy and aesthetically unpleasing “/wordpress” in URLs such as “http://oto-usa.org/wordpress/thelema/“. Today, I am happy to announce that I figured out a way to move all the WordPress URLs to the site root. So that same page would now be found at “http://oto-usa.org/thelema/“. The old URLs redirect to the new ones, so existing links and bookmarks need not be updated.
When making a change like this, it’s hard to be certain that nothing has gone wrong. So please be alert for any problems on the site, and if you see one, let me know at webmaster@oto-usa.org.
