If you’ve got a few moments then I recommend you take a look at the new website for The King’s Fund, launched last week.  As well as reflecting the thinktank’s new brand identity, the relaunch has introduced a very interesting new homepage, with drag and drop content boxes that the user can add, delete and move about to create their own tailor-made page.

The content boxes on offer range from latest analysis and audio to information about events and venue hire. All of this can be done without signing in to the website, but if you do register and log in you can also set your preferences for health topics, current projects and subscriptions.

The new approach is an engaging and creative response to the challenge of how to provide a homepage that meets the needs of diverse audience groups - and it may well provide you with some food for thought for your own organisation’s homepage. I’ve worked closely with The King’s Fund web team in the past and it’s great to see the organisation’s website evolve in such an exciting and inspiring way. Well done!

The Age of Stupid is a 90 minute film about climate change, set in the future, which will have its world premiere in London on March 15 2009 and then be released in UK cinemas on March 20th, followed by other countries.

If you think climate change is an important issue then please see the film. If you’re not yet convinced about climate change, then go see the film and see if it changes your mind.

The premiere is taking place at cinemas across the UK. Please support the film - find your nearest premiere and book tickets now!

I’m excited to be getting underway on a new project with The Age of Stupid team…more on that closer to the time of launch!

Over the Christmas break I spent a bit of time working on an idea for a little side project that I’ve had bubbling away for a while now. Riders Recommend is a place for horse riders and owners to share recommendations on everything equestrian.

Visitors to the site can browse recommendations and add their own via a very simple form. The project neatly brings my professional interests together with my personal interest in horse riding.

The flexibility of Wordpress meant that I was able to get the site up and running very quickly. The versatility of the Wordpress platform - and all of the plugins that are available to extend its functionality - never fails to amaze me.
