Bye Bye Blogger - Hello Wordpress



The emotional last post to the blogger site. We have updated the club website to use Wordpress which offers us a lot more options. This site will remain here while we transfer all the content across.

Scheduled downtime for Website updates

Hi everyone. We wanted to give you advance notice that over the coming days the Sportsworld website will be down for a period whilst we do some essential upgrades. We have scheduled these updates over the weekend which is generally the lowest period for website traffic, in order to have as little impact on visitors to the website as possible.

During the down time a message will appear on the home page with links to the 5 mile classic registration page and as always the current site will continue to be available from http://sportsworld-terenure.blogspot.com

A good website should have a clear vision and be capable of developing over the long term. This vision will evolve through discussions among the site’s stakeholders and users. On Sunday we hope to have in place a future proofed website with improved aesthetics, killer content and clearer objectives. Those objectives being to inform current members and attract new members to a great running club.

Even after the initial site has been launched, our responsibility toward generating content doesn’t end. We continually need to keep the content fresh and up to date. We need to continually source new content, review existing copy, and update as necessary. We need new content, such as news stories, reports, forum comments to keep users coming back for more. We encourage you to make an effort over the coming weeks to contribute and spend some time on the new site. You can get a sneak peak of the almost finished update at the bottom of this page.

With the 5 mile classic next weekend we have set a deadline of this weekend to get the website live. Whilst all the new content wont go live initially it will over the coming weeks. Please bare with us whilst we make these changes and feedback any comments or issues once the site goes live to info@sportsworld-terenure.ie
