My local club, the Sunshine Coast Avicultural Society, has been lacking a decent magazine and web site for several years so when I closed our shop and retired I decided I would take on the job of editing the magazine and also provide a decent web site. Our previous one was set up around 10 years ago by a member who subsequently left the area, and as a result hasn't updated the site sine 2003.
I've been doing the magazine since late last year and finally got around to registering a domain name and arranging the hosting of a new website a bit over a week ago. That is now running at www.scas.org.au as a temporary site until I decide on a more permanent design, although I prefer a rather minimalistic approach to website design so I might not change it that much
My first web pages were written in 1995 when there was no choice about being simple!
One of my principle aims with the site is to provide good articles out of our magazine so that they are available to a wider audience than just club members. As is usual with club magazines the editor (me) is writing most of the stuff and if I am spending the time writing I want to feel the result is reaching a wider audience!
Anyway have a look, and particularly have a look at the articles - there are three up now, one on sprouting seed and two about hand raising babies. The next to be added will be on providing calcium which will appear probably tonight.
cheers,
Mike
