Welcome to the Nordelph Community web site.
Saturday June 18th -- Nordelph's 2005 Community Day.
The photographs above, of two firemen from the Norfolk Fire Service at Outwell comparing this year's appliance model with one from the past, and the well-visited stall mounted by the Herb Garden, are just part of the page of pictures and comments we've loaded on the website. And this introduces an important aspect of finding the information you want on the web site. Our aim is that you shouldn't have to remember where things are -- that the navigation is easy, and that anything you want to retrieve is no more than three clicks away. You can get to the Community Day page in no less than three separate ways. The most obvious, for this update only, is to go there directly using the link a few lines above. But it's also a single click away, using 'Community Day 2005' in the index, where it's replaced the now-redundant programme of events. But later this year, we'll remove the Community Day link from the index -- but the page will still be available: added to our 'Picture Galleries' section, and accessible through the 'master page' drop down menu. Two clicks this time, and available by that route, even now!
This business of multiple paths to the same information crops up again this month. Shining Tree from Salters Lode contributed to our Community Day, and they're one of the new additions in our 'Trade Directory' section. But if you wanted to find their details, and our link to their website, you might think first of looking under 'Leisure'. Since that's perfectly reasonable, you'll find a link to the same page under that heading as well!
And there's a lot more new stuff, as well as the above:
- A total of three updates to the 'Trade Directory' -- as well as Shining Tree, there's the Herb Garden and a frozen fish delivery service. Since the last update wasn't around for long, let us remind you that last time we also added dog grooming to this section
- More (many more) photographs of old Nordelph, and what visitors to the Community Day told us about them. (This is in the Nordelph Past section, under 'old pictures', so our maximum of three clicks away, unless you use the direct link above.)
- Now that we have a date for Broadband (12th October -- see our amended masthead), we've started a sequence of pages on whether Broadband is for you. (in Nordelph Future, under Broadband, three clicks)
- A review and extracts from a delightful new book on the Fen Line railway (under 'Travel' in the index -- a new heading)
- A handy list of accommodation in the area -- great for when you're mounting that massive party, and can't put all your guests up! (under 'Where to stay' in the index -- another new heading)
- The regular monthly update to the Church Services page
Why so much in one update? Why not hold some of it over for a month? Well that's because we've decided that this is going to be the 'off season' for the website. Although we'll update regular items like the Church services as needed, we're not planning an August update with really new content. If we get a good summer, you'll not want to waste time indoors reading it, and we certainly won't want to be slaving over a hot computer putting it there! So this month is a double helping, to see you through the occasional day when the summer isn't quite as glorious as it might be! See you in September!
