Herts blog - new design

As trailed a couple of weeks ago, the Herts blog has now been redesigned. Trials of a similar design on another blog have gone well and, armed with that experience, the county service has now been updated as well

The new three-column design makes better use of screen space.
  • The main central column contains county news stories - and has as much space as the previous design provided.
  • The right-hand column is now only contains links to Herts county or club information, along with the blog's archive.
  • Regional, national, and international links are now in the left-hand column

In addition the left and right hand columns now include automatically updated lists of the latest stories appearing on other relevant sites (where those sites generate "newsfeeds" - sometimes called "RSS feeds"). This allows you to keep up to date with everything happening in the world of women's and girls' rugby in one place without having to check dozens of different sites.

Not all sites offer newsfeeds yet (the RFUW in particular do not) - but if your club site produces a similar "feed", or you are aware of any other feeds that are of interest, then let me know so that it can added.

Any comments on any aspect of the new design would be appreciated!
