Mohawks Blog Competition

It would appear we have a new shiny website. Oh wait, we’ve had that for a while. But what’s even newer and shinier about it now is that we have the ability to host blogs. Yup, you heard me. BLOGS.

As a committee, we’ve been talking about having more content on the website, and who better to generate it than YOU?

We’re hoping to have several regular blogs running on the site, but we don’t want all of them to be run-of-the-mill ‘here’s how ultimate works’ ones. We want excitement, drama, insights into stuff that is often missed by the mainstream blogs.

So, enter the fray by emailing in your idea for a themed blog, and giving us some kind of keen-o spiel about how much you love the interweb and want to use it to entertain Mohawks, ex-Mohawks and the rest of the ultimate community. We don’t have a set number we’re looking for and are planning to go with quality rather than quantity, so don’t worry that there won’t be space for your genius.

Suggestions from the committee thus far include some boring chat about tactics and self-improvement and the slightly more entertaining ‘EdCam’ (where Ed’s everyday activities and statements are documented).

You folks can do better, right?

Christmas reminder

Hello, Therapist again

If you don’t know when Christmas is then this year it will be on Sunday 25th December, all day. If you go to a midnight mass then you will experience the first part of Christmas day at the time when the first part is, and not a second later. If you go to bed so as not to intercept Santa Claus then you will most likely miss the first part and so your Christmas day will begin some hours into the actual day.

Hope that clears that up.

In more serious news: SIGN UP TO THE MOHAWKS CHRISTMAS DINNER

If you’ve no idea what I am talking about then check out this forum topic and fill in the form to tell Jessie that you’re coming. Book yourself into ice skating if that’s what you’re into.

More soon, see you at training tomorrow (come across Stanmer park if you don’t want to invoke the picket line wrath).

Order Kit!

Hey one and all,

Just to say that if you have not already done so then you need to order kit, now really.

So, go to this forum page and read the relevant information and get ordering… there’s not much time left!

If you don’t get kit then you will regret it. Also, you probably won’t match anybody else at tournaments because we don’t have much spare kit so just get some. It’ll last ages and you will love it and wear it loads and loads and loads. Also, Mohawks kit is the sexiest around so you’ll be the envy of EVERYBODY else in the world, probably.

Catch you all soon

New Mohawk Website 2011

Hello Mohawks

So we’ve got a new website.  Its been in the making for a long time but over the last few weeks, what with my paid projects coming to a close, I put in the hours and (at the very least) got the site live.

The website you’ve come to know and love had an original design and integrated nicely with the forum (most of the time) but all of the content needed to be maintained by me.  That comes with inherent problems, namely there is only so much I have time or will-power to do.  With this new website we’re using a content management system (cms) that allows you guys to add content!  This is good because it means other people can do the grunt work!

Initially, those that can add content will be added on an invite only bases.  Eventually, however, every one of you will have the opportunity to add content, related to frisbee, the mohawks or something else entirely.  Watch the category ‘Website Updates‘ for more developments.

There are also parts of the website that visually I am not happy with.  I have left them as they are since I just wanted the site to go live.

Some of the more important things you need to know:

  • Your old forum accounts still exist but you’ll need to reset your password.  Your passwords were always encrypted and so migrating them to the new system was not possible.
  • The forum is more or less the same, however it has been updated to the latest version.  Lets see if you can find the differences
  • The rest of the site is built in a different system to the forum.  Once you’ve logged in, you may notice the differences in user areas for each system.  The forum is what you’ve been using for years.  The other don’t worry about for now (unless you want to).
  • Quick intro to:
    • Pages – are found in the main menu along the top of the page
    • Posts – are assigned to categories, which can be found at the top of the right-hand-side sidebar
  • You can also Facebook ‘like’ or Google ‘+1’ pages and posts now for all you cyber butterflies
  • If you have any suggestions then here’s the post
  • If you have found any bugs then here is your post
Finally you’ll notice on posts you can leave comments.  So reset your password, log in and get commenting!
