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.

   More reading of the runes. Craig y Don came through with 4 good posts between 8.30-9.00pm Thursday evening.

Next day they get 953 human reads. Should speak for itself.

I went to look and post some comments. A few other commenters went too. I am and so are the other commenters, members--we show up in the member reads--179.

Obviously, others (non-members) went to see the updates too (953-179 =779 views).
Lesson is: more updates more traffic. As I keep repeating.

But what's happening at Pudsey? Pretty sure it's the Wednesday afternoon's  pix of the new school. I spy several new members joining up too, yesterday. Lesson is, get a new school, post great pictures... :-) Nah! Lesson is: big news equals big traffic.

Kings Hill? They haven't updated since early July. They still get a fair number of hits through to archive pages from Google searches. But! Yesterday, they had an email from someone moving to the area, wanting a nursery place. I guess they looked through lots of pages on the site, checking out the school.

Greenfield? No idea. They haven't updated much at all, so not may pages to attract Google traffic. An abberation that proves some rule I don't know yet.

Salisbury, updates from the kids' Blog Club. Attracting (304-129=175) a small number of eyeballs. Perhaps it was parents, or themselves showing their parents or friends? Their news wasn't too interesting though, thus not too much traffic.
