New look for the Ostomyland website
The new look website.
We’ve had a bit of a spring clean here at Ostomyland. The Oland main site is often peoples first contact with our site and it’s community as it houses the majority of our article-based ostomy information. Whilst I’ve been very happy with the performance of WordPress – the software which powers this part of Ostomyland – the theme on it was a heavily edited existing theme, and so it didn’t fit in with the look of the other major part of Ostomyland; our community portal, powered by Invision Power Board. So, this time around I’ve rolled up my sleeves and given the main site a visual overhaul.
The main aims of which were to try to give as “clean” look to the site, as well as being visibly more identifiable with the community board’s existing look. This means there’s more dark blue and white areas, and ofcourse our usual logo is still sat at the top in pride of place. Our little mascot – the ever loveable and furry “Fuzzbutt” is also clearly introduced to our visitors as being part of the header, as she sits there welcoming everyone to the site. Continue reading

Our new forums – 1 month on and going strong.
On February 26th, 2008 our message board will have had it’s first month using the new system/software thanks to the upgrade from phpBB2 to the rather funky and cool-to-use phpBB3.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their patience whilst the admins got to grips with what buttons did what and so on, and also for all the nice comments people have given about the new forum boards features and ease-of-use.
So, a big thank you to all the board members. Here’s to looking forward to many more months of phpBB3 powered fun.
