Memories of Ushaw Moor and Deerness Valley

Bearpark On Line

I recommend you have a look at it if you have not yet done so. It shows just what participation and interaction can do to keep it fresh and interesting. Apart from anything else you are likely to come across familiar people; I see, for example, there are photographs of Mr Gibbon - he became our headmaster at Ushaw Moor - and there is even one of John Minnis who became our Ushaw Moor School goalkeeper.

It is not as if Paul Clough has failed to provide a suitable site. His efforts and site design are top class. Are Bearpark people very different from those of Ushaw Moor? No they are not.  A short while back I wrote an article along the lines of: If Witton Park can do it so can Ushaw Moor. Well here is another: If Bearpark can do it so can Ushaw Moor.

  1. Hi Wilf and thanks again for your comments, it is frustrating more content is not flowing. I am especially frustrated at the lack of "community" interest with the Community FORUM and the Community BLOG. It seems that I am the only contributor to the Community BLOG.

    Maybe I need to rethink the whole site, maybe change the main site at UshawMoor.org.uk to something where the user signs in at the start and is persuaded to add content; not sure really which is best. I chose the BLOG design for the Memories and Community BLOGS as I felt it made it easier for users to add their own content.

    Anyway thanks again,, and keep the pen flowing, or the fingers typing.
