| Post subject: | OOAK Table Tennis News Page - now Live! |
I've created a News page for this forum, which I thought might be useful to keep people informed, and might stimulate some discussion. It includes the latest ITTF news, Tabletennisa news, and news from UK, Europe, USA & AU. You can find it here: OOAK Table Tennis News As I'm far from an expert in webpage design  , any comment, suggestions or additions would be appreciated too!Cheers! |

Wouldn't it be easier to setup a content block using the rss feed? RSS feed for tabletennista is here http://tabletennista.com/rss/ |

RSS feed for tabletennista is here http://tabletennista.com/rss/ That's exactly what I did, but the feed gives the option of full text and media (which is what I used) or just a list of topics with a brief description. I thought the pictures would brighten up the page a little, but it's easy to change.

I like it, and as far as I can see it is ready to be advertised on the main page. I guess you will have a button in the header section, with the buttons for video/links/etc. |

Yes I do plan to do that, I was just waiting for some feedback to see if any improvement or additions are required.

Looks pretty good. Where will the link be to it? Next to FAQ? |

I might make a banner for it as well, at least for the early days so that people become aware of it. I can easily add more live feeds to it if there are other sites that provide useful information. It does not only provide a handy reference page for us for TT news from everywhere, but it also helps promote those sites that provide it.

I've updated the page with more ITTF news, including news from their Facebook, which is updated with much more information and more regularly than their main site. Does it display OK for everyone? I've also put in the button at the top of the page for quick access, as well as a banner that now highlights the new forum page. Any other news feeds that would be useful to you? |
