I'm now officially the village geek :)

Posted on May 3, 2006 By admin 7 Comments on I'm now officially the village geek :)

See this shiny new website:

http://www.hinxtonvillage.co.uk/

The couple that runs the dead-tree-format newsletter wanted to go high-tech and make a website for the village but didn't really know how to go about doing it. I've been in touch with them because I wanted to set up a board game night at our local pub and, well, basically. I offered my services and they jumped at the offer. I looked into content management systems for them. That way, they just need to write content and happily ignore having to mess with any HTML. They're thrilled. The whole thing took maybe 30 minutes to install, an hour to get my head wrapped around their configuration logic and a whole of 5 minutes to hack together the graphics. And you know what? It kicks ass, especially compared to other village websites out there :P

    Really cool site.

    Always knew you were a geek and it's not a bad thing (since I am myself one):P

    You should have a picture section.

    There will be one, linked to flickr. I'm donating part of my bandwidth from my web provider but I'm really tight on space at the moment.

Quote of the day

The Librarian of Unseen University had unilaterally decided to aid comprehension by producing an Orang-utan/Human Dictionary. He'd been working on it for three months. It wasn't easy. He'd got as far as "Oook".
--(Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms)
