Sorry, no photos in this posting.<\/p>\n

I have now been hosting, managing, maintaining, posting to and otherwise looking after the Baildon Village website<\/a> and the Baildon wiki<\/a> since 2006 but I don’t know how much longer that might be if Baildon Parish Council set their website<\/a> up to be The Community Portal as suggested in their communications review. There is no reason why the village should have 2 community websites. (I have also been maintaining the BPC site – the application not the content.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, tonight I upgraded the version of MediaWiki used on the Baildon Wiki to the latest and greatest. I also had a look around some of it and wondered if I would ever manage to add, or get others to add, all the information about Baildon history that is around. I would love to hear from people about their stories. Please send stuff in as Austin Michell<\/a> did. Baildon Wiki is as much for anecdotes as confirmed\/factual history. Any offers? I also need to get the text from the last 4 Heritage Trail booklets put on there. And with mention of those I hope you have either bought at least one of each from the Baildon Library for \u00a31 each or downloaded the PDFs from the parish council website<\/a> > Documents > Heritage Trails section. I did the layout for most of them so of course they are beautiful booklets.<\/p>\n

My next upgrade task is the village website. This is now in serious need of a refurb and the version used predates the single button “Upgrade Me Please” option. MediaWiki is reasonably easy to upgrade but only if you understand databases and configuration files etc. Fortunately other applications now tend to have the “Upgrade” button, or similar, so the Friends of Baildon Moor<\/a> website I look after here<\/a> is using the latest version.<\/p>\n

I did create an article on the village website here<\/a> about the fact that it needed a refurb and asked for suggestions as to what it should do. Why is the website there? What do people want it to do? Needless to say I have heard nothing even though the stats say that it has had a reasonable number of hits.<\/p>\n

How does this fit with a complaint frequently heard that there is no one place to get information about what is going on in Baildon?<\/p>\n

So, if you are a Baildon person reading this, let me know what the village website can do for you. And if you can send information for the things you want to see so much the better. And while you are thinking about it why not send me some information for the Baildon Wiki?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
