Website Re-designed
Welcome to the new-look Carsington Bird Club website.
Bookmark this new page in your Favourites
The website has been completely re-written, for easier maintenance of posts and pages, together with the ability to pre-post updates and set them to appear at specific dates/times.
The new site continues to provide all those familiar features you like, such as the on-line sightings board and Roger Carrington’s excellent monthly round-up of bird sightings at the reservoir. It also has the ability to allow users to catch-up on any content missed at publication time, such as newsletters, features, etc. If you missed a post, or would just like to look at previous postings, simply click on the Archives and review them month bv month.
The website has been written to accomodate a minimum screen resolution of 1024×768 pixels, however most modern PCs and laptops exceed this value by far. Anyone using this site with an 800×600 pixel screen will still be able to use it, but may have to scroll right-left for some of the content.
All your familiar links are there, as well as some new ones. there is also a “tag” list down on the right-hand-side. This allows users to find a page or pages which have a particular word or phrase, for example click on “Osprey” to locate some content containing that word. Alternatively enter your search criteria in the Search” box at the top of the screen. The post/pages retrieved are shown, subject to a maximum of 5, to keep load-time to a minimum.
Selecting the “Categories” link on the right allows users to focus the content on a particular subject matter, such as Newsletters or News – however the default category for the homepage resets itself each time you visit.
Wherever you find yourself on the website, you can always return to “Home” by either clicking the “Home” button at the top, or by clicking the “Carsington Bird Club” header text.
Have a look round and if you have any questions please ask – we value your feedback.
