Apologies if I have missed mentioning any of the vast team who so willingly pitch in to offer help and advice - it's been a long haul!!

Anytime Geoff, glad I have been some help. Glad SWGfL have moved it over for you. Hopefully you can get the other site sorted soon

Favicon and meta data need changing.

 

Favicon, create a 32 X 32 .jpg, go here, and then upload to the root of your site.

 

Meta Keywords and Description are found in global configuration.

Thanks Mossj,

 

Been and done the 2 things you listed. However, the Favicon icon doesn't come up. Being on a Plesk hosted South West Grid package I placed the saved icon in the httpdocs folder - which I understand is the root or have I got that wrong?

Sorry place it here "/templates/axe_rescheek_green/favicon.ico"

 

Might take time to come up, be patient or try on a browser thats never visited your site.

Looking good! I knew you'd get there!

Also consider moving useful links off the frontpage.. too me a frontpage should be a page that makes clear the information available on the site, and when it was last updated.

 

As well as a few common links (Newsletters, termdates etc)

 

Also consider making a Termdates PDF, 1 sheet which lists all the important dates on, put that as a quicklink on the frontpage.

 

I made a very simple one at my previous school (here) and it has been downloaded 1369 times (we only have 1200 pupils). So it's clear the parents are printing it off and sticking it to their fridges.
