After your suggestion I've started running a facebook ad (using £250 worth of voucher codes found on the net) at 2p a click, targetted at people within 25 miles of Cramlington, Morpeth and Ashington. I can't target Bedlington directly due to it beingoverlooked again. I've emailed the Facebook devs to get them to add us By all means feel free to create a group if you think it will help but I'm not sure how effective facebook groups are for promotion personally. Unless I'm missing something, a facebook group would essentially be a duplication of what we have here with less functionality. If you look at the majority of groups on facebook they are groups of people who are already friends from other avenues. The group is created, there is a bit of chat, and then it dies off. Visitor numbers have been growing steadily over the last few months, once we get some flyers out (expecting them Monday) and I contact local businesses and organisations things should build even faster still. You'll also be pleased to hear the County Council's Locality Development Officer for Bedlington has taken the initiative and accepted our offer of an editorial account.

Rumours are rife suggesting a fellow Bedlingtonian is to appear in one of the regional X-Factor shows. I guess that gives me a legitimate reason (excuse at least) to watch it

I would say a composer is also a musician

I have to disagree. Generally speaking I wouldn't say the town is run down at all, dejected and neglected? ...maybe. Yes there are certain parts that need attention but that is true of any town and I've seen a lot worse. Bedlington's problems are not physical they are psychological.

http://www.vimeo.com/6213702 Vimeo wins. Apologies for the borders, my video editing applications are on the other machine so had to use Windows Movie Maker . Small correction: Population of Bedlington is approximately 16,400 at last census NOT 10,000.

Just waiting for Vimeo and Youtube to process it. Will post as soon as one of them has finished.

Fair use

Got it. I'll convert and upload shortly.

recording it now, have i missed the Bedlington bit?

What's this about thieves being caught after stealing copper from the Bedlington Terrier. Chased by somebody on horseback?!?!

50% success rate for me so far can't be bad. Granted only two results in, all downhill from here.

You are not displayed in the list for me so it's just showing for you. Should be an easy fix, it's on my to do list

Thanks Pete I'm fairly convinced this is a bug, I'm looking into it.

I'll be out next week onwards handing flyers out. In the meantime, if anybody wants to help with some site promotion, there's now a really easy way to invite your friends. Just expand the user dropdown in the top right of your screen, click invite friends, enter your friend's name and email address and then hit "Send Invite".

Nicely done Monsta deal struck

PM sent Neil

OK must be a bug, will sort it now.

The live chat active users list will show people active in there in the last 60 minutes (changing to 10 shortly) so even if you are not currently in chat if you have been in the last 60 minutes you will still show. If you definately haven't been in chat at all then it may be a bug, I'll check it out in any case.

Sounds like outgoing connections are being blocked. Did you get a popup at some point asking whether you should allow or block outgoing connections?

Just thought I'd give you all a head start that's all

You should be able to use images. here if the file is hosted elsewhere and you know the address... And here if it's on your computer...

Still on the cards, real soon now.
