IABFLO has gone many changes over the years and 2009 heralds a change in officers. We look forward to working with all of you.

The 2009 Meeting Agenda is available for download on the IABFLO Meetings page. The 2008 Meeting Minutes are now posted on the IABFLO Meetings page for download.

Additionally, the members pages have been updated with the current membership.

A few of our members have requested changes to their links. Those are now done. Please feel free to contact us if you need something changed!

I'm not sure why it stopped working, so I just removed the google map to the conference for the 2009 meeting.

Today's updates include information for the 2009 IABFLO meeting. Be sure to book your hotel early for the discount! We have also added the minutes in .doc format from the 2007 meeting. The membership list has been updated, so if you are new to IABFLO, please send us a link to your site.

Today a new page in the USA Uniform Law Label section, in addition to a long-overdue description of the entire section. The new page is the Filled Clothing page, which has two new documents with example labels that are required for any filled apparel. A few minor CSS bugs were squashed as well. We are trying to get the site all up to speed for the 2008 IABFLO meeting this week.

Head on over to the IABFLO Meetings page for details on the 2008 conference.

I updated the IABFLO Membership List and added a lot of links where I could track them down. Also updated is the Terminology page. And, don't forget to look at the updated IABFLO Meetings page to get it in your calendar.

Today's updates were minor fixes here and there, mostly on the IABFLO members pages. We would really like to know what we could do to make the site better, so if you have any ideas, no matter how outlandish, or seemingly ridiculous, send them our way via the contact page.

Cheers!

• Today's updates include:

• Mattress flammability information on the USA Federal Information page

• More in-depth information on how to get a Sterilization Permit Number

• An updated Members page

• More information on acquiring a Uniform Registration Number (URN)

• A few tidbits of Canadian Information

• A cleaned-up 404 error page (which you'll hopefully never see)

Status on our domain transfer: I spoke with a very helpful customer service rep who said that our registrar will be informed of the transfer in 3 days, then we can begin to switch the site over to the old domain name.

Today has been a busy day. Minor changes for clarification were made on a dozen or so pages. Then, we have made the navigation and page titles more clear and consistent throughout the site. The chaos that was the Uniform Law section has been wrestled into a much more organized and easier to use form.

We have added a few more articles, including:

• a brand new Sterilization Permit page

• More information has been added about acquiring a Uniform Registration Number.

• USA Uniform Labeling: Stuffed Toys.pdf

• USA Uniform Law Label: Chambered Bedding Products.pdf (applies to Bedding & Furniture, Feather and Down)

• USA Uniform Law Label: Blended Fillings.pdf (applies to Bedding & Furniture, Feather and Down)

We are stunned at how many visitors we have had to the site in the past two days. It has given us an extra push to finish up all of our documents.

As you know, some of our documents (like the Uniform Law Labeling) can be difficult to understand, so our graphic designer has been redesigning them. So far they are looking incredible, and we should have some of them online within the next few days. Others will take another week or so to finalize, so again, we thank you for your patience with us during this transition period.

And please, please, please, don't be shy to give us feedback. We really do value your input. Use the Contact Us page to send us an email.

Thanks!

UPDATE (9:06:29 am): Check out the "Uniform Law Label: Feather & Down" document in the Uniform Law Labeling section. It is a a little taste of what is coming.

There were some issues with the logo not printing out correctly. That is all fixed now, thanks to the lovely folks at A List Apart, an excellent site for web designers. Also, a slew of minor bug fixes was implemented.

We've worked long and hard and are getting close to an organized and functional site. We would especially appreciate your help with the site, so if you find any problems, broken links, or any other kind of error or omission, please let us know by filling out our Contact Us page.
