<B> FORT STEWART, Ga. </B>-- As you ponder, point, and click, realize that the Team Stewart Web site at www.stewart.army.mil has been an intensive labor of love. There, you will find just about everything you want to know about Fort Stewart, Hunter Army Airfield, and Kelley Hill.

Wyatt Erminger, 3rd Infantry Division web developer contractor, has taken the two former sites of the division and garrison and made them into what is being called by some a model of installation web designing.

"The division Web site was very static and did not have a whole lot of information on it," said Erminger. "A lot of the info was missing and incomplete."

His goal was to come up with a Web site that was more innovative for the Soldiers and their Families.

"The gap between the division and the garrison had to be bridged in the effort, which would provide a bigger resource for the entire installation," said Erminger.

There is a content management system in place for updating information, which will be expanded upon in the coming months, but Erminger completes content updates on request.

"Once a person gets a general idea of the information that he or she wants placed on the site, all he needs to do is provide the information to me, which could be in the forms of an email, compact disk, or memory card," added Erminger. "Any directorate/organization on the installation that serves a purpose to a Soldier, Family, or community member associated with Fort Stewart, Hunter Army Airfield, or Kelley Hill should be on the Web page."

Even though Erminger is a one-man shop, he credits exceptional help from Robert Davis, a fellow contractor who works at the Directorate of Information Management.

"Robert worked on the framework for the new site while I was updating information in preparation for the site combination," said Erminger.

The Team Stewart Web site is for general public use, so no matter where you are on the planet, as long as you have Internet access, it should be accessible.

External links can also be found on the site. However, there is a screening process for them.

Erminger explained that external sites have to be reviewed for possible malicious intent.

Advertising and endorsements are looked over along with those which may have connections to 'shady' organizations.

"Kevin Larson, Media Chief in the Consolidated Public Affairs Office reviews them with me. If the link has a good purpose and is usually an official site, then we have no problem linking it."

When Erminger is not thinking and breathing the computer world of HTML, ASP, graphic design, or programming code, he actually takes time out to enjoy time with his four daughters, ranging in ages from one to 13 years old, and wife Chara. You may even find him ready to tee off at the golf course or in the crowd at one of the Talladega, Alabama NASCAR races.

Though he now resides in Savannah, Erminger's roots began as an Air Force child in Montana.

"My Family moved to Slidell, La., and there I attended Louisiana Tech University," said Erminger. "I later joined the Air Force and became a meteorological technician."

After the Air Force, Erminger went into the civilian employment sector and landed jobs with the 15th ASOS at Hunter and the Army Corps of Engineers in Savannah. Though he traveled back to Louisiana, he was drawn back to this area.

For now, Erminger looks to the future for even more expansions to the Web site.

"I would like to make it media intensive and as easy as possible to navigate, while also making it the best multimedia experience for everyone, keeping it simple enough for people to navigate.

"Also, if I had my choice, I would like for persons to see the news as it happens during the day, and we may not be too far off from that point."
