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.

Teachable moment No: 2
Salisbury's Blog Club must have been fun today. Bev's new camera
Nikon D50 frontview

has snapped the pupils and they've added their pictures to their own posts on the front page.

Fame at last :-)

However, one of them added their date of birth. Here's me sitting watching this all happen and suddenly I'm feeling uneasy. So, I go with my gut feeling and decide to edit out the D.O.B. I feel it's a little too much information. Not that I think their identity is going to be robbed, but it could be. Not that I think that a 'stranger' is going to approach the kid out side the school gates on their birthday, but they could.

It's one of two teachable moments. The last was editing out an email address.

Phooo. I've been that busy deep up to my arms in oily dirty code. Hadn't chance to announce and welcome our newest customer. Walsall Wood. And they've taken to it like a duck to water. With posts for Book Week and most beautifully, three proud winners of Pupil of the Week. And yesterday, the dreaded SATs revision.

I say dreaded because my 7 year old daughter has already developed the SATs exam fear :-(
