Wordpress Upgraded

Filed under: Site News — Chris Hunt @ 9:23 pm

I’ve been putting it off for months, but I’ve finally upgraded the software which runs this site to the latest version of Wordpress - version 2.3.3. As the functions of the site have been fairly heavily augmented from the standard set-up, there’s a chance that some features will be broken by this process.

Can you please let me know if anything on the site isn’t working properly. If I don’t know about it, i can’t fix it!

Design Tweaks

Nearly six months from its relaunch, I’m fine tuning the design of this site. Mainly this involves changing some of the fonts used and introducing pull quotes to the articles (they’re the shaded boxes off to one side holding a quote from a paragraph).

It doesn’t have to be funny - any article connected with hostelling would be equally welcome. Just use the Contact page to get in touch. Of course, if you want to write something especially for this site, that would be welcome too…

Filed under: Site News — Chris Hunt @ 9:19 am

It’s official, the new style YHA Group site is open for business. I hope you find it easy to use and to find what you want (unless you’re a spammer, in which case I hope you find it more difficult to bombard the forum with rubbish!). Do wander around and tell me what you think.

However, this site is missing one important component, Continue reading…

YHA Group site - Under Construction!

Filed under: Site News — Chris Hunt @ 11:18 pm

I’m “remastering” the YHA Group site to run on the Wordpress blogging platform. Over the next few days I’m going to be uploading some of the articles and features from the old version of the site into this one. So watch this space!

Feedback on the site, and suggestions for improving it, are always welcome.
