Eaton Bray Weblog Updates

As the editor for the Eaton Bray section of DMOZ named the news site "Eaton Bray Weblog", then who am I to complain...

This Eaton Bray site has become a great place to try new things out, and having set up Feedburner, the latest of those is to finally submit to advertising to see if it can bring in any revenue at all.

I was happily suprised just how simple it was to setup - the main problem was working out where to put the adverts so as to keep them as unobtrusive as possible. Hopefully I've succeeded, with adverts on each blog entry, and below the text for some of the main site content; let me know what you think.

Classic FM feed change

It seems that mms://audio2.musicradio.com/classicfm no longer works on its own in Window Media Player (WMP).

Luckily it is still possible to get everything working with the addition of a brief welcome now, using the following URL in WMP: http://audio.musicradio.com/Playlist.asx?show=5.

New Feeds For All!

The old XML feeds will still continue to work for a long time to come, but there are now new feeds available:
- theo @ blogger: http://feeds.feedburner.com/theo-gray
- theo @ spaces: http://feeds.feedburner.com/theo

Eaton Bray - New Layout

I've been planning a layout for the Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire website for a while now, based on the new Carnival one, and integrating the Eaton Bray blog with much more information, but hadn't quite figured out how to get the latest blog entries to appear on the front page.

Step up Feedburner! Having just gone over there to convert my blogspot Atom feed to look nice, I suddenly spotted their "Buzzboost" script and everything was solved.

So with a quick graphic (I know it's not wonderful but it'll do for now), it's all up and running, and finally makes it worth me buying the eaton-bray.co.uk domain in the first place!

Eaton Bray updates

I've been having a busy time of it at work recently, which I'll share more of once the new stuff is released in September. In the mean time I've been keeping away from other computers as much as possible, but have had a chance for one or two updates to the Eaton Bray blog and St Mary's sites.

The new version of the Carnival website (being tested from http://test.ourcarnival.co.uk) is coming along, but I still need to get into Flash and finish off the pictures; those of you who have had a look at the Carnival 2005 pictures will hopefully have seen the new slideshow, and I've now got to get that implemented into the new site and showing pictures from all years. The final push will be making sure none of the current links into the site 404 which is going to take a bit of juggling with the new directory structure.

And when my head clears a bit I will update that BT Broadband Basic review...!
