24 Megabits - 3 Weeks!
According to reports the exchange was Be enabled last Wednesday - almost two weeks ahead of schedule. I see that this is now confirmed on the Be website. Any company that gives Bedlington "City" status has to be supported!

I will look into this. We've to finish the current skin properly anyway, but might possibly add another, or modify the Gallery specific CSS entries.

'Neglected Building'? (Opposite St. Cuthberts)...
It's the Church Hall that's been scheduled for demolition. A pity as the shell was probably sound, although the floor was definitely rotten and was declared unsafe. Seems like no one wanted to make the funds available for a renovation, as there's been a long-running saga to establish who actually owned the building. Anyway, there was a planning application to build "Luxury" Flats, that may or may not have impressed the local guardian's of our culture at the WDC.

Oops!! Try again; that's fixed now I think. Just uploaded a 400KB flower pix, and as you'll see the server has created a 5KB thumbnail and a 50KB intermediate (browser friendly) picture too. Doubtless someone will now complain that their 20MB raw bitmap doesn't resize properly!! http://www.bedlington.co.uk/community/index.p...bum&album=1 Need someone to create a new personal gallery to see if that is working correctly too. Not a member who has already done this in their controls at some time past.

Are you logged in and clicking on the link in the [blogs Gallery Help Search Members Calendar] toolbar? Works fine for me, and I note that missvic posted some pics too.

Not so! The Gallery software has been fully functional since the last upgrade - a long time ago now. I'm not the only one who has created and uploaded to it. If you are having a problem then PM me.

Are there any small traders left then?

Household Items For Sale...
Very observant! The fact is that most spammers are very obliging people. They join and leave their spam in this section, which, of course, doesn't display. Seldom, if ever, does it meet the clearly stated rules, so it gets deleted rather than approved. Their membership gets deleted too, as they've no real interest in our Town. Actually, rather a lot of the spammers get deleted before they even post - but that's another story!

Where's Me Posts Gone?
Try using one of your other personas SS. OK, so this isn't That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds! Moderate yourself and be at peace with the world.

So... it has taken a genuine, fully paid-up, Rolling Stone 63 years to work this out?!! Took me a tad less to work out that's what they all want! But... if only I'd twigged in one third the time! Tomorrow's Sun headline: Keith Richards smoked my Grandad ?

Where's Me Posts Gone?
Read the rules! If a post contains nothing but personal abuse it will be removed. If it makes some other point it may be left, unless someone complains. If you want to complain then you need something specific to complain about; there's no point claiming unfair unless you can show what it is that's unfair! BTW your posts are NOT being pre-moderated - unlike some. When they can post something vaugely within the published rules their posts do go through. Some mistakes are inevitable when several dozen spammers are clouding the issue every day. If you think there's been a mistake then PM me.

Is It New?
I bet that it's the altar on which Labour members of WDC sacrificed absolutely all their socialist principals. This never needed to be too big because those principals were pretty small-minded anyway.

How Should This Section Operate?
Members opinion is sought on how the Introduce Yourself section should operate. Does the possibility of (possibly sarky) comments discourage new members introducing themselves? Remember that newbies may not be as thick-skinned as you lot! _________________________________________________________ NOTE: If you peek at the result BEFORE you vote yourself then you won't then be able to vote.

Bedlington Terrier
Then the Wikipedia entry must have been written by someone from Ashington! Well.. it would be funny if it wasn't so near the truth!

Bedlington Terrier
Just what the World needs - YABTWS (Yet Another Bedlington Terrier Website)! Did you see the new strap line before you posted? Anyway I do hope your web site will educate owners not to call the breed "Bedlingtons" - we get rather sick of people referring to their Bedlington. It's OUR Bedlington and it doesn't have four legs! Human Count: circa 30K (Slumber Hours, that is!) Canine Count: Several thousand. Sheep Count: Verging on 0 (Unless you count the butcher's.) Therefore, there's not a pressing need for the average Bedlingtonian to keep a tame mutton chaser. Consequently, you can walk around the place for days and see almost every breed but! A great disappointment to tourists, I know. Total lack of enterprise us not having somewhere for the huge number of Bedlington Terrier owners worldwide to visit, and somewhere to spend some money before they quickly exit! Where else on Earth would pass up such a tourist revenue opportunity? Well - I'll tell you where - the completely unsung Town that invented the railways that now span the Earth, and for good measure was also the birthplace of the guy who engineered the very first transcontinental communications cable. Both of the inventions which have completely transformed the World over the last century and a half. There is, of course, a well-visited museum to these great engineering achievements. Err... no! So.. welcome to the Town that's had it's identity stolen in more ways than one. The famous Town which is head and shoulders over very other Town in the World in the total and utter lack of enterprise stakes! Who is to blame for this? Well, it's a long story, and not too many people come out Persil white. Maybe I will get around to documenting a bit of it before too long. Anyway, wishing you every success with your new web site. You'll doubtless be giving us a link, now that you've placed one here for yourself.

Please (Bedlington) Bear With Us
The new Gallery and Blog software has now been installed (at great expense!), but we still have some configuration issues to work through. i.e. It sort of works, and you can view old posts again, but there are some serious issues with uploding images to be worked through - um.. real soon! Large images can now be uploaded to the board. Though we haven't explored the exact limits yet, they are not at all restrictive.

Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes Invited To Switch On Bedlington Xmas Lights!
...gracefully declined, due to other commitments. But have asked to be considered again when they are next in the area! Seriously, it should be pointed out that those on the buildings have once again been fitted and funded by the Bedlington Forum, and not W.D.C. We are all grateful to Mr. Brian Oliver for the hard work he unselfishly puts in organising the Bedlington Town Forum. Once again the Bedlingtonshire Chamber of Trade is putting, time, effort and money into lighting St Cuthberts Church Yard - which overlooks the Town Center. To give them credit, I'm told that dear old Wansbeck District Council is putting on a much better display on the lamp posts etc. this year. (Could some of the public critisim here have been heeded?) The cameras will be out shortly to test this hypothesis. We'll also be checking out the local traders, and residents, own displays. If you see any eye-catching ones then don't hesitate to post your own photos.

Those Dam Autumn Leaves
A million leaves form their own dam in the River Blyth; just above the concrete dam South of Bedlington.
