New Season, New Look

.

If your reading this then the chances are you've noticed it looks a little different. What you haven't? Go put your glasses on and look again. It's not just a new colour scheme for the Blog its a whole new website for the club. I'd like you all to join me in thanking Joules for doing an outstanding job and putting up with all the demands and moaning from those of us involved.
Here's a short walk through some of the biggest changes.
When you visit the new site you'll see that it looks a lot different. First thing is slap bang on screen a photograph from one of you! Remember a while ago, seems like months to me, I asked you all to be on the lookout for invites into a new Flickr group. Well this is where we are putting those images. Right in the face of anyone who visits the site. The picture changes randomly each time you visit that page. So if you feel left out and want one of your pictures there, sign up to Flickr and add me as a friend or email in a link to your Photostream.

Wait there's more!

The about us page now gives people a much better idea of what we as a club like to do.

The programme page has received one of the biggest overhauls. Now as well as being able to download a PDF file of the meetings you can also look at a Calendar which not only lists our meetings but also shows events in our local area. So with a simple click of the mouse you can see what's on. Hanneke does a superb job of keeping that calendar up to date. So you should all buy her a cup of tea next time you see her!

The News link still takes you to this Blog but does so with much more panache.

The Galleries, my personal favourite. Remember the old one, just a few stale looking links to various websites. Well it's all high tech now! Slap bang in the middle is something you may not have seen before. It's called Cooliris. Remember the pictures on the front page? Well this shows all of them at once. You can even make it fill your screen up to see the pictures in all their glory. Just click on the bottom left icon of two white, diagonal arrows. Hang on though because, if you scroll down the page you will see links to individual members Flickr sites. Not just boring links though, click on one of them and you will see just how magnificent the pictures from your friends are. Of course if you haven't replied to my email telling me its ok to feature your Flickr page here then your name won't be on the list. No Flickr account? Then go sign up, it's free! I have to stress you have to have told me,by email, its ok to put you on this list otherwise you can't be added. If you have agreed to it and your name still isn't on it then just give it a week or so. We're still addressing a few issues.

The contact page just lists different ways to get in touch with the club. It looks great though. As does the Find Us page. Yeah I know its missing the clubs meeting address, it's being added soon.

That brings us to the last page. The links to other website's. If you have a private website that you want added to the list then tell us about it.

If you think we need to add a website to the list. If we've forgotten something. If something isn't right. If you feel we should be doing something differently.

Tell us about it! Because if you don't we won't be able to correct it.

Oh and of course if you've never visited the club website before, shame on you, here's a link
