Tideline
Cortesisland.com was co-created by Irene Blueth and Richard Trueman ( www.richardtrueman.com ) in the Summer of 1999. Except for the Discussion Forum and the Calendar of Events Forum, Irene and Richard were be the only “reporters” of events. Since 2001, Richard has been the Chief Editor and at that time the site was cosmetically updated.
In 2003, he saw Barry Saxifrage’s vision of a “true” community website; -a site where all the readers could be contributers to all parts and pages of the newspaper like format. Barry called this the “Tideline”, a place that is always in change. We combined forces and the site became “cortesisland.com Tideline”.
2 Years later, Tideline 2005, a new improved version was coded by Barry Saxifrage of Stonebreaker Designs. Richard Trueman was the editor until 2010 when he decided it was time to retire.
In June 2010 Ester Strijbos took over from Richard Trueman. On September 1st, 2024 Ester handed the Tideline over to the Cortes Community Radio.
