the future and credits.
How it works....
It's still early days and you won't see much content
just yet; but with time we plan to develop our
niche in the Web to further the aims of the group
and for our members and wider audience to enjoy.
The principal features of the site you will find
at present are:
- a 'one-stop' Home
page where a visitor can see what's new
at a glance. We have adopted a news and features
approach to keep our content current and dynamic.
This will encourage you to check back for
updates.
- two menu systems to find what you want quickly
and easily in the way you prefer. The drop
down javascript menu runs along the top of
every page and makes it possible to reach
any part of the site with a minimum of clicks.
The left-hand side menu has been included
for those who prefer it.
- the Calendar
is a part of the site you can use to find
out when forthcoming events are scheduled.
Each entry provides a link for further details.
- go to the Contact
Us page for links to a feedback form and
an email registration form. Alternatively,
you can contact any member of the committee
directly using a link to their webmail address.
The aims of the website....
So what do a bunch of old rustic villagers want
with 'one of them new-fangled websites'? Well,
that's just it - we're neither technophobic nor
xenophobic. Some of us can work a pole-lathe;
some can turn out charcoal at an impressively
consistent quality while others can weave a little
javascript. There are accomplished photographers
among us, and those who contribute accountancy,
creativity, ecological knowledge and organisational
skills. We are a team - and as such believe in
the value of teamwork to achieved shared goals.
By putting the Tottington Woodlanders on-line
we want to expand on that sense of teamwork. We
want to attract more people to participate in
what we do and share our enthusiasm. We want to
share our experiences with other community woodland
projects; provide a forum for woodland issues
and contribute a resource for education and enjoyment.
We also want to open our ears to any advice offered
as well as extend a warm welcome for any would
be volunteers.
Plans for the future....
With the initial functional structure in place,
it's time to consolidate the content. So we will
be adding further features for your enjoyment.
We will also aim to deliver the following enhancements
in the near future:
- a site search facility
- search engine submission
- a hit counter
- photo competition gallery
- discussion forum
