A Local Shop, for Local People

January 23rd, 2010 3 Comments »

Today saw the official opening of our village’s first ever shop

At 4pm this afternoon the shop was opened by none other than our very own Councillor Stan Mason who had obviously been bribed with free cake. Stan can be seen under the ‘m’ in the photo above talking to my father-in-law about the adoption (or lack of) of the village roads. The shop appears to sell everything from washing up liquid to Cornish pasties so may turn out to be quite useful… if a little bad for the waistline.


CHCA Web Site

chca web siteMy latest web project is live at last. A while back I noticed an little advert on the CHCA (Coed Hirwaun Community Association) web site asking for assistance looking after their site. I decided to volunteer and they took me up on the offer. The original site was flat HTML and inconsistantly designed with menus all over the place differing from page to page. I redesigned the whole site to use WordPress (as usual) and completed a small training course for some CHCA members so as they can maintain it themselves. It went live yesterday and hasn’t had too many hits yet – but then again it was taken offline for a few weeks so I’m hoping that will pick up shortly.
