About

The AllAboutOmaha.com™ website provides an easy access to numerous Omaha Arts, Attraction, History, and Entertainment sites all in a condensed area.  We have more graphic links to Omaha's best than any other site.  The pages are bragging pages showing off Omaha's best and what we have to offer.  In lieu of the upcoming Omaha Convention Center and Arena, out-of-town folks will want to know what to do in Omaha and exactly what Omaha has to offer.  These pages fulfill that request better than any other.

AllAboutOmaha.com™ also shows off our neighbors.  We have wonderful communities throughout Nebraska and also our neighboring states.  The pages cover loads of great things our neighboring states have to offer that tourists would be interested in.

In addition to great local websites of interest to tourists and locals alike, the Omaha pages are filled with interesting bits of history, such as the origin of the word Omaha (how the Omaha Indians got their name), origin of the name of Council Bluffs, history and contribution of the Mormon migration, coverage of Great Plains natives, notes of Omaha's neighboring communities, such as Florence, and Bellevue.  The community coverage extends to cover all of Nebraska, and all six surrounding states.  Attractions and historical tidbits are covered to encourage anyone to make the journey to the Midwest's best, and all from the Omaha point of reference.

If you are using a slower computer, nothing is more frustrating than to read a bit and then have to wait for the next page to load so you can continue on.  Longer pages take a bit longer to fully load initially but give you plenty of reading using only the scroll bars or by pressing the space bar.  For this reason, some pages are long on content.  The Omaha attraction pages have a large number of graphics to show off other attraction websites and therefore load slower than other pages on the website.

Not

The AllAboutOmaha.com™ website does not maintain nor provide current schedules and times for area attractions except for special cases.  We do have some operating hours and admission costs, and some special event information (including dates, times, and additional information).  For current schedules of show times, performances, etc., click the link to the website.

It is most important to understand that the AllAboutOmaha.com™ website is not a news website.  Our emphasis is to show off Omaha by showing off our many attractions and events, and many other things that make Omaha great.  Many other websites show the local news and national news, including other Omaha websites.  It is too difficult to draw the line between local, national, and international news so understandably any website that shows local news would also show the others as well.  If we offered news, you would get the same news that you can get from any other website.

We do not provide links to all websites that has anything to do with Omaha.  We show off the more important websites

Nutin' Fancy

The AllAboutOmaha.com pages are written with their own style, nothing fancy, no literary achievements were made here.  Where it is deemed necessary, tips are used to explain a term or link.  Since school children are expected to peruse the pages to learn some tidbits about Omaha, gargantuan and abstruse words that are not part of quoted text have been eliminated so that almost anyone can understand the content, so bring your tabularasa mind and prepare to learn something new.

You will not be irritated by "Bad English."  We know the difference between a subordinate clause and a restrictive sentence.  You will not find double negatives, unless it was clearly done tongue-in-cheek.  We have made spelling choices on some words that you may choose to differ with.  For example, we choose to "website" over "web site" although there may be exceptions.  We cannot claim perfection however.  We do a pretty good job of proofreading and not forgetting to run spell check after making minor changes, however, slip-ups do occur.  Understand that unlike many websites, we take the strong stand that it is not your responsibility to be our (unpaid) proofreader.  I hate that stance that websites often take that you the reader should tell them about their mistakes.  It sounds like they are saying that they are not willing to do sufficient proofreading on their own and that if you expect the quality to be better than what they offer, then you need to be willing to be their unpaid proofreader and link checker.  We make a great attempt at checking our own pages thoroughly and often.  External links do change or disappear and it is difficult to keep up with.  At any one time, we are aware of several links that have not been corrected yet or the corrections have not been published yet.  We use several link checkers, spell checkers, and various tools to maintain our website.  Even our tools are not perfect.  If you do encounter something irritating, misspelled, or just needs spell check run to eliminate the fat-finger work, and if you wish to tell us about it, you can always send us feedback but you will not see us begging you to do so.  If you do, much thanks to you for doing so.

Most of all, we hope you learn something new when perusing the history and we hope you will have easy access to the best Omaha and the surrounding area has to offer.
