Any way of using photos tagged East Dulwich from Flickr or similar?

Perhaps a combination of tags e.g. East Dulwich + eastdulwichforum - then folk could submit photos for the (presumably) banner...

Will design a appropriate banner for a small fee. Type of design and idea can be discussed.

contact ng9.designs@gmail.com with ideas.

Thanks Ng9 Designs, I like your sales pitch. Can you show us any samples of your work?

[Guest]

Ill design a few of my own ideas of a possible banner and post the links of them here some time this week.

New to the site and find it very interesting. Good to see information provided by real people. I'd be interested to find out how you set up a forum like this. Are the tools freely available?

Regarding logo perhaps a simple ED would suffice. Flickr's pink underlined F is a pretty immediate identifier. I think a photo compressed to that size unless it's very simple will be a bit squishy.

Now to the next point, Mr administrator I hope this doesn't smack of disloyalty, I'm sure JoGoJo will be setting up an entirely different forum.

Assuming the forum is not going to be a rival to this one I'm happy to advise ;)

Plenty of software available on the ether, much of it opensource and either free of charge or a small fee for technical support etc. Then you'll need some sort of host, usually broadband service provision comes with a few MB of web space hosted generally on unix-apache which will support 90% of the solutions out there.

For blogging there are loads available:

movable type

word press

grey matter

for forum software there are a load of java based ones

such as these

or csharp ones

such as these

or Vanilla

and frankly hundreds more.

I believe this uses phorum which is PHP MySql which powers an awful lot of the stuff you see out there.

Setting it up will be a little more involved than pointing and clicking, you'll need to know something about ftp, but all of the above have pretty good tutorials on their websites.

Hope this helps, and i look forward to seeing www.noteastdulwichforummaybesomethingaboutdoggroomingforum.co.uk soon :)

Hi Admin, how about this one?

Or an 800 version with white text for clarity

[JoGoJo]

I like the white txt version

Hello, I could do you a lovely logo, please a look at my site for examples http://www.oneanother.ltd.uk The site was designed by me and built by BeatNic. If you're interested we should meet for a chat before any making happens.

'scuse my ignorance, and don't want to open a can of worms, but what happened to this?

I've just read this thread for first time and think a logo would be fun. I like Hugenot's design. Why don't we use it?
