The search feature on the USGL public website is powered by Google, meaning that we rely on their indexing of our site to provide search results. Currently, Google is still using the index from the old website, resulting in mismatches between search results and the new page locations. I have created redirects for the more heavily used pages, and requested an accelerated re-indexing of our site so that search will provide accurate information. I do not know how long that will take. In the mean time, sorry for the inconvenience.

I am very happy to announce that a major upgrade of the U.S. Grand Lodge website is complete. I think you’ll find that the new site is both easier to navigate and more attractive; the latter is thanks in large part to the efforts of Shawn Richburg, Master of Bubastis Oasis and graphics wizard extraordinaire.

This upgrade involved more wide-ranging changes, including moving to a new hosting service and rearranging content between the parts of the U.S.G.L. website family. In any change of this complexity, it is inevitable that there will be problems. If you spot one — something misspelled, omitted or redundant information, broken links, or the like — please let me know at webmaster@oto-usa.org.
