We track the performance of the website using Google Analytics, This means that we can see how many people visit us, where from, and what content has performed the best. As i know how uncompetitive we are here I thought that it would be fun to show the latest stats since we
started with the new website.

The image below has the details. You may have to save it to your drive to read it. The important ones are “unique page views”.

Hi Guys,

all known members have been imported into the website.

If you have not received an email with your username and password, it’s likely that your email address is out of date.

You may need to contact Trevor to update your email address.

If you do not like your username, we can change it to something more to your liking.

A good move would be to change your password so that you can remember it!

If you have not received an email, add a comment with your Full name, membership number and email address below, and we will fix it.

if you want to add your pictures to your articles and galleries, its best if they are no larger than 800 x 600 pixels.

To resize pictures for the site, a good program for doing this is BIMPlite.

You can download the program from here, and best of all it’s free.

To write an article on the new system is pretty easy.

Once you have logged in, from the link on the right hand side…

 Login

 the system presents a dashboard to you, you need to go to write post.

From this page, you can now write out the article,

Write post

and use the upload manager to add any files or images that you want to. Click upload, choose your file, then hit upload again. Adding some titles and descriptions to the pictures that you upload is a good idea too.

The best size for pictures on the site is 800×600 pixels. (the width should be a max of 800 pixels). This means that we wont top up the site with pictures, and that they will load quickly into the page.

A good free program for image manipulation is GIMP 2 along with Davids Batch processor for processing many pictures at once.

Once the article has been written, choose a category from the right hand side, and then hit publish.

As you can probably see if you are reading this, the website has undergone a radical change. This should not effect the operation of it. The aim of the change is to enable members to write articles and post galleries in an easier fashion. The forum has been left alone for the time being and is still available, from a link on the sidebar (orange bit on the side). Read More »
