TECHNICAL PAGE

This website is hosted by UKHost4u (www.ukhost4u.com). We are using their "Budget Hosting" package - cost £19.99 + VAT per year, including free domain name

ALL the software used to build and maintain this website is 'Open Source':

• Web pages (HTML format) are built and maintained using KompoZer (http://kompozer.net/). We are currently using version 0.7.
• Photographs are re-scaled to our website standards using GIMP2 (http://www.gimp.org/)
• Non-HTML files (eg, linked PDF documents) are posted to the website using Core FTP Lite (http://download.cnet.com/Core-FTP-LE/3000-2160_4-10195752.html?tag=mncol and elsewhere)
• As necessary, documents to embed are converted to PDF format using CutePDF (http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/Writer.asp)
  

Embedded directional maps appear by permission of MultiMap (www.multimap.com)

We chose this combination for these reasons:

• Very low cost
• Relatively easy to use
• Good flexibility / freedom to chop and change
• Enables responsibility for website maintenance to be shared by several club members
