Thanks guys, it's been a bit of a slog over the last couple of weeks. Fortunately I've got a forgiving wife who's not got too upset at me ignoring her every evening.
The bulk of the work is done now, some of the text on the pages could do with updating, I'm afraid that's not my specialty. However I think the look and feel of all of the sites is pretty good.
I really have to pay homage to Sayontan Sinha though. He's the chap who created the Suffusion Wordpress theme we've used for the sites, it's incredibly flexible and customisable and has sped my job up considerably by cutting the amount of CSS I've had to write in half and pretty much removing any need to write php
I did the forum refurb tonight, i hope everyone is happy with the new look. It's intentionally very similar to the old look but grabs some styling elements from the main BBBQS site.
Next on the agenda is
http://www.grillschool.co.uk which is going to be our online recipe portal and home to a number of tutorials as well as tips and tricks from experts such as yourselves. The aim with this site is to help get people cooking more than just bangers and burgers on their BBQ's by giving them a source of good, honest advice and a load of recipes to work with.
Grill School is empty at the moment, I should have the site structure in place in the next week or so and then we can start adding content. Anyone who would like to donate some recipes, please let me know and I can set you up with contributor accounts, if you can grab nice pictures of the finished dishes too that'll really help with populating the site. I'll send out instructions on how to add recipes to anyone who wants to do it but isn't comfortable with entering them into the site. It's easy though...
Oh well, time for bed me thinks, only two more days of work then I get to do some BBQ instead of writing websites about it
