Looks Good Mike... Now to get a few more on there. Interesting to see it also shows hits.
For those not in the know it is under News and Articles up top.

Heres a few legends

Hi all,

Trying to figure out how to PM Ron Head on FG?

Mike

I went onto the FootyGoss and the PM's dont seem to be working. I couldnt find anywhere to send one now. Used to use them a lot.
I know Ron was moving east so most probably gone now but he did tell me he was going to continue on the Goss from over there as he loves his WAFL.
I would say looking at the Goss now he has given up on that idea.
I did have his telephone number but cant find it at the moment but will keep looking.
He has all his stories on disc so wouldnt of been hard for him to repost them on here.
I am sure Ron will drop in and have a look on here when he gets time and contact you on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I am sure he would not mind if you copied a couple over from the Goss. Sure there would be nothing illegal in that?

ps I have just found Rons email address will send it to you via admin email
Not sure if still current but got it off a post on FG

Thanks for the footwork. I will try contacting Ron this evening (we are on the same time), so it shouldn't be too hard.

Appreciate the efforts both Cardy and Anchor.

PM is a great idea, however I need to really work out how best to implement it.

Mike.

I have hundreds of WAFL Newspaper photos that i have downloaded from the old Weekend News wrap and Daily News from a work in progress project of mine in gathering pics that appeared in the paper between 1975 and 1985 and my grand plan if i ever get around to it is to collate them into a picture book almost like a scrap book that can sit on someones coffee table, or most prob Just my coffee table, these are the years i am most facsinated with, ive worked through 1976 and 77 so far with bits and bobs from other years. I regularly visit the Battye library and trawl through on microfilm and it literally takes hours and hours,sometimes the quality isnt great as they are the actual newspaper pics ill try send some to you Mike and maybe put some up or ill post them on a thread

Okay...

Ron tried to call me yesterday (my wife answered), but I wasn't home from work. By the time I returned his call, he was out, so I'll try again over the weekend.

As for pictures and video's, I've got some ideas brewing... I'll have a look at some website extensions that are available to see what we can do with regards to making the pictures and video's as features rather than being lost in threads.

The software I am using to power the website is flexible enough to allow moderators or contributors to add to the website other than just in the forums.

This may need to be done in the new year though, as I still have a few other things that require tweaking on the website, plus balancing work and family life this time of the year.

I'm open to ideas...

Mike.

Yeh maybe pics Mike but as I said on the WPFC thread under FootyGoss flashbacks there are a couple of sites already with huge collections of video's. Maybe put a link on this site to those two sites for starters as the WAFL Archives site deserves a bit of support and they have endeavoured to put all WAFL footage they have plus contributions so if you start the vides we have a bit of double handling

Archives website

www.waflvideoarchive.webs.com/ and Their channel all WAFL vides

WPFC Youtube site plus they have a facebook site with a few vides as well.

For your consideration

Point taken, it is a very good and exhaustive list of video's.

Mike

Mike what I did on the Braves site which I ran a few years ago was put a heading up the top called LINKS. This gave short cuts to other interesting sites for baseball.
You could do the same here. Another one you will most probably start will be Fixtures etc.. Any way have a look at what I did with menu options and might give you an idea or two. I did it to save space.

I took a lot of pics and put them under my Photo section etc.

Keep up the good work

ps put this on here as we were getting a bit off Topic on my Footygoss post on WPFC Thread.

I think the advantage of having a section for videos on this site as well is we can all make comments about them here, rather than stuff around going back and forth to other sites
