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.

I've added another switch to override the default in your email to weblog Prefs.

I did this because Helen, the Head, at Bodnant Infants, Prestatyn posts little snips to her site, while Jemma, the nursery nurse, bulk posts dozens of pictures, and wants then to hang in the pending news items for her to clean up and delete the Hotmail sig file.

(Hmmm! Just remembered Helen's emails come from her school's system, and they too have a sig file, though at least that's constant, so I can snip it out on the way through. I've tried to snip Hotmail's too, but it keeps changing.)

Anyway, the result, will be that The Head can email in little pieces of news, directly to the front page, while Jemma, can keep the way she has always posted.

All Helen would need do is add a subject line such as:
Coffee morning [[notices pta]] [front]

For me, I always post directly to my front page. I have the email to weblog Prefs set for this. But occasionally, I want it to hang in the pending so I can add more video. Thus I'd have a subject line like this:
We go swimming [[kids]] [pending]

Now, the next step is to get Jemma to add [h149] to the front of the subject lines so that her mixtures of portraits and landscapes are nice and straight ;-)
