Concrete5 is here (Content Management System)
Sep 06, 2010 - 2:16 AM - by Richard
Richard's Avatar Put simply Concrete5 is the best Content Management System I have seen! AND ITS FREE

Why am I announcing that on Escouts?

Well I want to share some work I did for my region www.southeastscotlandscouts.org.uk

Put simply Concrete5 is incredibly easy to edit, and is incredibly powerful, I was telling Gavin how I had been doing Scout Websites for 12 years, and I was excited... [Read More]

Closure of Free Web Hosting
Aug 25, 2010 - 11:23 PM - by Richard
Richard's Avatar During its existance, Escouts has provided free hosting to UK Scouts for around 8 years, (we've been in existance over 9 years). During that time we've saved UK Scouting somewhere in the region of £100,000 - £150,000 and thats a conservative estimate.

[Community] Clarification of Rules / Procedures etc
Jul 28, 2010 - 1:32 AM - by Richard
Richard's Avatar On Monday 26th July 2010 , Escouts: Community alone attracted over 1000 unique visitors (real people), and that is excluding our Search engines.

Over 7000 pages were viewed by REAL people that day. On that day, our members made 233 new posts and created 16 new threads. But one statistic I find remarkable, the average time on the site is almost 8 minutes!

So Escouts: Community is large and a valuable resource for Scouting in the UK (& beyond), we know that, you... [Read More]

[Community/Forum] - Forum Portal Restored
Jul 20, 2010 - 12:01 AM - by Magician
Magician's Avatar Hey All,

After a week and a bit of being broken, I have taken some time tonight to fix the portal.

As way of an apology, I have also included a new feature that was to be put in place with the pending VB4 upgrade! - See who can spot it first!

As always, any issues, contact me here!
