Just noticed a bit of a jump in my Sky broadband connection. Whereas recently I've been pushed to connect at anything over 1300kbps downstream, today I checked and my connection's sitting at a whisker under 1700kbps - image below

Credit where credit's due...

The street light directly outside our house had been out for a while, so reported it to Clackmannanshire Council through their online reporting service - Clarence .

This was done at 10pm Monday night and by Wednesday (might have even been Tuesday, just didn't register 'til Wednesday) it was back on all nice and bright again.

Now you've signed up to the site as a member, to share information with others you'll need to create some content. Here's how to get started...

Uploading and storing files

As a registered member you have your own personal storage area on line that you can upload files to. It looks similar to the picture above and is accessed by clicking on My Account then File Browser. It's empty by default and you have a quota of 5MB that you can upload files of the following types - jpg, pdf, gif, pdf, doc, txt. You can access and link to any files stored here in your content/articles.

According to some bloke called St. Swithun, we've little chance of firing up the barbecues around Delph Wynd until at least the 24th August.

Apparently, whatever the weather is on this day - St. Swithun's [see photo], it will remain the same for next forty days.

Bugger...

You can upload your own photo to be used as your online identity quite easily. Here's how...

Log in to the site as normal.

You may see this user name popping up on the site from time-to-time.

Laurel's a very nice person who'll be here to help you if you get stuck on how to work with all the resources on this site.

Actually, it's just a dummy account that's been set up for testing purposes, but I may use it in the future as an alias to help out member's on the site.

Although I've been trying to keep the development of this site in a testing stage until all the bugs are squashed, it looks like the detectives amongst you have discovered DelphWynd.net on your own.

Not so difficult to find I suppose, as when you type in "Delph Wynd" in google now, we're already first on the list. Go on, try it...

Admin's Blog section added - Tips'n'Tricks'n'Stuff

This section of the site will be updated regularly (possibly!) with some tips and tutorials on getting the most out of the resources on the site.
