New Web site and new blog!

Welcome to our new Web site and integrated blog. All based on the supreme blog platform, WordPress.

If you experience problems when accessing any of our pages or feeds please feel free to contact us. Feel free to drop a comment to let us know what you think and where we can make further improvements.

We still have a lot of tweaks to make to images and copy, but it’s best to go live now, before I personally hold up the project any further with my silly and annoying perfectionist change requests. We also have a number of accessibility issues to address in the next build of the site. We’ll post a list of known issues as soon as we’ve conducted another test.

Donncha, please feel free to reference this as a compelling example of how powerful WordPress is as a CMS and not just a blog application ;)

    Looking good, but there’s something on your page that requires a login to your backend. It’s probably a graphic image?

    I know Donncha, it’s a pain! We’ll address this and the other outstanding issues as soon as the team are back to work.

    Congratulations! I switched to WP from MT a few years ago and have evolved with it from early version 1.x. It rocks. It has saved hours and hours of my social life. A benchmark in personal CMS.

    Thanks Jag. We stretched parts of WP beyond its capability, only to find that the latest version incorporated the stuff we needed – such as using any page as the default ‘homepage’ – particularly good for ‘sites’. We’re going to write a post about all the stuff we’ve done so others can benefit (or laugh) :)
