Feeling a bit down today. There’s a lot of “bad stuff” goes on in the world and occassionally it gets to me. Was struggling to write a review for a play I saw on Monday (I didn’t know before I got there it was for folk with learning difficulties and when you compared it to some of the other stuff I see it wasn’t that fab but you could see they were really trying). Anyway it is online now after some tweaks by myself, Bryan and the guy that publishes them!
This morning I got shown something that made me feel a lot better about myself though! A review of my work’s website which I did a lot of the planning work for, and the map of cupboards was all my idea. Just in case they don’t leave it online I will save it here too:
Society of Advocates in Aberdeen
The Society of Advocates in Aberdeen have just launched their website, and very nice it is too. This is easily the most attractive and professional of the three websites reviewed this time round.
There is much useful information to be had on the site, but it is all so well organised and laid out that it is quick and easy to access. As you might expect for a website which has only recently been created, all the information is right up to date – but already shows signs of being kept up to date.
The CPD and events calendars seem to be full and varied, and for those of you who missed the hill walk to Glen Clova in September the photos will be posted online soon!
A definite bonus for this website is the ability to search the Society’s extensive library. The search facility returns not just the details of the book you were looking for, but also the bookcase in which it is kept (this information is usefully supplemented by the downloadable plan of the library, with bookcases clearly numbered).
The Society has apparently been on the go since the 15th century, but with this website – as the Press & Journal so eloquently reported on the site’s launch – it has well and truly “lurched into the 21st”.
