Relay for Life 2009 Pewsey

Another update to my site.

I have added some photos of this years Relay for Life event held on Sat 18th July at the Coopers Arms Pewsey on my site The Home of Ken Burton.  Unfortunately the great British weather played its part in its usual fashion but it didn’t discourage the participants who bravely struggled on.  Unfortunately due to the inclement conditions and prior commitments I missed the candle of hope ceremony  and the next days events, but well done to all that took part.

Socks and Blogging here's the connection

Here is great video for all you bloggers out. There is a lot of common sense in this especially with all the gadgets and widgets available. It is certainly important to ensure that any thing on the side bar fits in with the rest of the site.  As I haven’t been blogging long  my sidebar is, hopefully, uncluttered but leave a comment if you disagree.  (p.s.The fish tank stays)

Panoramio Map on my Site

Just put a Panoramio Map of Pewsey on my site The Home of Ken Burton. If anyone else wants to do the same for their area, the instructions are on the Panoramio web site (look for Panoramio API). 

As I have some photos there,  (and Google Earth), its a good way to showcase your work. However the satellite image whilst being clear and high resolution is way out of date. I would estimate that it is at least 5 to 6 years old. I only hope that Google road maps are more up to date .

Another quick post to let you know that I've added some more content to  my site The Home of Ken Burton. Check out the links section from the home page for links to noteworthy pubs in the Pewsey area. Also hover over the links to see some Spry effects. (No these are nothing to do with cooking fat).

Whilst I’m posting I would like to remind you to please feed the fish at the bottom of this blog. (simple things for simple…………………)

Pewsey Flickr Groups

Calling all photographers who live or travel through the Vale of Pewsey. I am a member of Pewsey Wiltshire and Surrounding Area Group on Flickr and it would be nice too see some more members there.  There is also a Wiltshire group and a Kennet and Avon canal group. So if you’ve got a digital camera and access to a computer and the internet (which if you haven’t how are you reading this) or a film camera and a scanner, then come along and join. For those that know the area there are some stunning photo opportunities here so get snapping.

Updated Home Page

I have updated my home page on BKKK The Home of Ken Burton with more information about Pewsey and me.  Hopefully the navigation menu should allow the spiders to crawl my site better as the rest of the site was using flash buttons and text (depreciated in Dreamweaver CS4).

Tickets are only a fiver and kids (under 12) are free so there is no excuse for not turning up. The Coopers Arms will be hosting a number of real ales if you need more reasons.

This is a collage I made of last years event and if you want to see more, look on my site The Home of Ken Burton where you will find photos and some songs plus an interactive tour of Pewsey.
