I’ve just pulled the plug on the old Wensum.net website and livened up the new one. Like my blog, it’s created in WordPress - which will hopefully give potential clients an idea of what’s possible using the software.

I’m really liking WordPress. It strikes a pretty good balance between power and useability. The new site doesn’t particularly look like a blog, although it has some elements of one. The layout theme has provided a couple of random glitches, but otherwise it has been pretty well-behaved.

I’ll be interested to get viewers’ feedback.

The next Kickstart Fakenham meeting has been set for Thursday October 22nd at 7pm in the Wensum Lodge, Fakenham. There is an open invitation for anybody to come along and see what’s being done for the town by the group and make suggestions & contributions.

The basic agenda (subject to change) is as follows:
Committee announcements and prospective changes.
Formation of Carnival Committee/other Carnival Business.
Forthcoming events including Autumn Tidy Up and Christmas Lights event.
KSF Website & Logo.
Top of the Shops.
Any other business.

… pass it on!

The Leisure Society – Last of the Melting Snow

This is the best contemporary band I’ve found out about for a while. Their viral marketing is nice too! Here’s a Youtube video of them performing in one of a series entitled ‘bandstand busking’ (proving they can do it live as well as in the studio).

Clever lyrics, great playing and a style reminiscent of… well, perhaps a cross between Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Elbow. I’m a fan now – remarkable, as I was drawn in by a simple one-off ad on Spotify!
