NP Woolley news via a blog site

Hi all,

I have created a blog/news site at www.npwoolley.blogspot.com.au, it's not intended to be a separate source of information on what's happening but a "slave site" to generate a news feed that we can embed in our website.  Our website design program is not as customised for blogs and news feeds as we thought!  The main problems are text and image integration, getting overlaps on some devices!

Facebook's design had given us an easy place to put updates and job photos, but the problem with all these social sites is that they set up a separate source of information away from the website.  I'm not really happy with having a blogspot either as it has a separate URL, but the only other solutions seemed to be pushing on with our current clunky website manager or make some downloadable newsletters...ugh, I think that would be reverting back to the dark ages!

We're trying to download a copy of our old Facebook page, just for old time's sake.  It's not a bad resource either.  If we can, we'd like to get it up onto our website so you can go through it at your leisure.  Surprising how many people had visited our Facebook page, who weren't actually on Facebook!  I keep bumping into people who don't have an account and still looked at the page as a website.  We want to get that onto our website so there's ONE PLACE for all the information.


Lots of website improvements are underway, make sure to keep regularly visiting to not miss some of the new pages such as Modeller's Hub.  I have some more VR drawings to be scanned so keep an eye out!

Happy steaming,

Nigel
