I love looking at other allotments' websites.......so, does yours have one?

Ours does have. although it is still under design (by us). Should be officially launched over the next few weeks. So watch this space ;D

Sort of..

See http://www.barriedaleallotments.org.uk

but it's just me - hard to raise any enthusiasm from other on the site though

My allotment site [Newton Park East] hasn't although my Flighty's plot blog [link below] is all about my own plot.

The Newton Park Horticultural Society has a webpage on the Harrow in LEAF website

Just bear with them Nick. I know there are plenty of allotmenteers on the web (hence this site), but there are also many for whom the internet is not part of their life. I have been involved with designing a few websites for organisations and many of these were brass bands. I am talking from 10 years ago ish. For the first website I did many of the members were of the attitude of "why would we use the net for that?" Now it is a fact that for the majority of brass banders the first place they look when searching for a new band or when someone is looking to book a band is the internet. That has been the case for about the last 5/6 years. All bands have websites now. Allotments are likely to go in the same direction. It just takes time!

We've got a site, it's live but we (well I !) have only just started adding bits to it, as I go along.

It's a free community one that is hosted between "recipero" and "BT".

It's www.gaynesparkaga.btik.com

If you want to build a free one, go to www.communitykit.co.uk and that gives you all the information.
It is for registered charities and community projects.

It has several of it's own templates to use, we have used one of these, because it's "autumn leaves" and that's appropriate for an allotment site!

I'm also building one for my friend's Animal Sanctuary and I used a "custom template" on that one, I used our own Sanctuary logo which I uploaded to create the borders etc.

Hi Sorry I put the wrong address down on my last post (silly me!) :-[
It is www.rhfas.btik.com busy_lizzie ;D

Sparkly - I know what you mean! I had to persuade our committee to stump up the £6 to reg the domian name for two years. Paid it myself in the end! - people are starting to use it a bit more but the idea was that we would get contributions from other plotholders. I remain hopeful!

Hi all (my first post)

This is interesting as I've just had a go on the first page of our new site - again the BT/Recipero free template one (I chose 'autumn leaves' too!) - need to sit down and get some more stuff on it now.

Does no-one use the blog sites like wordpress or blogger.com? Free and easy to use..

BAK · « **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2009, 11:10:47 »

I normally wait until the autumn to pester people into penning a history of their own site. However, this seems like too good an opportunity to miss.

Why not investigate the roots of your site - it can make for an interesting winter project. Write it up and put it on your web site.

Have a look at what other sites have done ...

Consider yourself pestered. ;D

Now you've seen the rest, that only leaves the best. Not about the site itself (yet) but mine designed, built and hosted by me, (The plot and the web site).
