Which you all should totally do too. Its going to be a good evening, You can even talk about business beforehand in the pub!

I'd love to but, alas, I have two very young kids and my leave pass extends to allowing me to wander over the road to the pub once a month, on the basis that I'm talking business. A full on night out pass from a Mum who still only sleeps 4 hours a night isn't going to happen

I'm still good for Friday!!

Is the 3m likely to be heaving as it's a Friday night??

Good point, might be worth moving to the sportsmans bar bit if it's rammed.

[hewlett]

I'll get a space for us in either side, the pub is an L shape and that bar is the other side of the L to the main bar bit

[hewlett]

8pm as per norm btw

[hewlett]

Thanks Gus, I should remember this month. Last month was difficult with both babies not sleeping much and I was away a lot too, hopefully June will be calmer, lots of updates though for Wednesday

[hewlett]

Indeed this very Wednesday, a rare 1st Wed on the 1st!

I have a meeting on Thursday where I'm presenting my 'long in development via the 1stWC' website to a group who'll potentially hook it up with a UK charity, generate some much needed publicity. If anyone can sign up (10 secs, just email+password) and add just one genuine task that'd be fab, what's on there now has been there for weeks and the website looks a bit quiet. The link is in my profile, thanks.
PS It's Centrepoint and the idea is that this get used to help the homeless, becomes part of the charity (i.e. is no longer in any way commercial).

Sorry guys - still here in the office so won't be able to get out in time.

We'll be here next month

Good night everyone, one nugget for me - 'clarity required', thanks Don that is a very good point.

[hewlett]

Cheers Don. Great advice and much to mull over. Wordpress just provides a free framework that gives an amateur like me more scope to play around than with a rigid template building website creating package like webs.com - you take the template/add ons, upload to a hosting provider and the costs are just the hosting ones which are minimal. If nothing else from this whole exercise I've learnt a lot about website design and can share that with others just starting out. I'll develop that site further, test URLs as you suggest and enjoy providing an update on this and all the other little projects at the next meeting. Cheers again.

[hewlett]

Can we please move this to the following Wednesday (13th). I'm away in Bonnie Scotland attending a meeting near Fraser's house - just a shame he's away

Excellent, I was planning on doing a quick WordPress run through 'Hewlett's Guide To Creating a Slick Multi Functional Website in Less Than 20 Minutes'. It's a great solution for a website that does most normal type things (manage users, run a forum, sell stuff, display maps etc.) and this is MUCH more flexible than options like webs.com/wix.com etc. but a different tool than what you'd need to create something truly unusual - for that you need a PH expert partnership (thanks John).

It's tonight

8pm bruv

[hewlett]

Thanks all, great turn out. The tutorial was a bit rapid so just email me if you get stuck. Norm, great car and amazing story to go with it

I can't make it tonight, I'm afraid.

I woke up this morning at 4:30 and I am absolutely exhausted.

I was looking forward to Steve's website presentation too. Bugger.
