Gentlemen,
Firstly, apologies for being the world's worst webmaster over the latter half of last season, my computer went up in smoke so I've had to buy a new one! Should be able to eventually salvage the old one as well when I find out what's wrong with it, so should always be backed up in future!
Anyway, this is the new 'News' section of the site, it is in no way 100% finished, however I've chosen a blog for the news page as there are several great advantages. The first is that the committee can now log in and post news articles straight onto here, so even if I'm being crap there will always be new content on the site. Secondly, I can create an RSS feed so that the tech-savvy amongst you can be automatically updated with the latest updates from the club. Thirdly, blogger (the host site) is run by google, which should enable us to do some clever things with the club gmail account where the calendar is stored.
There are several other updates which I'll roll out this week, some obvious, others fairly cutting edge! The obvious ones include the new committee's details, the updating of the homepage (April's cheese of the month is probably a little mature by now!) and this news page. The less obvious (but much more awesome!) include the Amazon Associates scheme. I'll post a news item specifically about this a little later, but what it basically means is that if everyone buys their textbooks, cds, christmas presents etc off Amazon through the club website, the club gets a cut of the profits (up to 15%!!) which is easy money in my book. The Old Boys' section of the site needs a good deal of work, and I'm hoping to get that sorted by Christmas.
I hope everyone's having a good start to the season, hope to see you all soon.
Beard xxx
