About us
We want to and will make it easy for schools to keep their staff, pupils, parents, partners, other stake-holders and wider community informed, updated and engaged.

Now, by merely typing in the text you can do it too!

It's so easy even 7 year old children can do it. If you are able to move a mouse, click a few buttons and string a few sentences together you can maintain a cutting edge site.

We'll give you all the training you'll need, support you on the phone or with email, all to make sure you get the best out of your investment.

Our killer features are:
Superb content management and blog software. Excellent Google optimisation.
An email to weblog interface, making updating your school blog a doddle. 
Top draw support and feedback.

How boys miss teacher's reprimand



Any colour but black
Of course we can design you a new look, but initially, why not use our current look, tell us the school colours, give us a logo or badge, maybe a picture of the school and we can present to you some colourways.
Diff colour ways of themes
Pick the one you want and we'll implement it for you. This is the beauty of content management systems, all pages flow through templates, so one change in those templates cascades through all pages.

Maybe the theme is too, blobby, too bouncy? That's OK we can do straight laced and formal too. Want a dynamic, constructionist look after the Russian artists? Or, something more impressionist like Monet and his gang? Or, something more sporty? You name it we can dance it.

Young children are being denied the chance to play at being pirates and astronauts because they spend so much time learning to read and write, according to research published today.

My kids get plenty of time to play 'let's pretend' at home. I don't know about school, but always thought they'd be doing formal learning there?!

Too much learning damaging children's play



Started making appointments
We sent out letters explaining the ease of use in diagrams, you can see them below. To all the heads of primary schools in Walsall. Letters will have arrived already, I guess. As we're already getting emails as a result, requesting a date for our demos. Next week: Monday pm is booked up, as is Tuesday am and Friday pm. We do very early mornings, and fairly late evenings. Best call or text my mobile 07903 940 427 or email me. Or, wait till I call you. As I shall.

Book early! Get in on the fun, quick.

We want every school linked in to this network, there-in will be untold wonders. You should have one, because of the power of the network. Even if you've already a fancy pants website—you can put some links on your fancy pants front page to your new weblog and the departments off that, the discussion group, RSS aggregators and your new collections of RSS feeds, photo galleries, pupils' work pages, uploaded files, member lists and the traffic stats... Hmmm! That's a lot of features—they're all in our manual. Does your site have those features? Does your site have a manual? BTW: how easy is it to add a link to your fancy pants website anyway? Got to ask someone to do it? Ahhhh, bless. :-)

The only bit that's hard with blogging technology is writing good, readable stuff. Am I being too facetious? Too smarmy? Should I add a smiley there? Am I striking the right balance? That's the hard bit: writing, once the technolgy is out of the way. Me? I love writing. I could write forever...

Did we say why we're a dot org?
