digital development, design and training
We’ve finally brought over the content from our old Tumblr .. its like finding an old favorite book you’d forgotten about
Now just have to get back into the habit of writing again.
And the lovely task of rebuilding all the data & images from the old sites. We’ve waited this long to get here, this isn’t happening any time soon! We’ll be in BETA for a while yet
We know you’ll forgive us 😉
Just a little reminder, naturallywordpress is still very much in BETA. Everything will function properly but not all features and functions have been activated.
Thanks for your patience, enjoy 2017
We don’t like call out charges, they’re messy and seem like an extra. So we have only added them where serious expenses have been incurred.
Life changes, we travel to different locations more often, further afield and back again. It’s something we have to reconsider, but it will still not be an extra.
Here’s the plan, note there is no change to standard hourly rates. Continue reading “Call Out Fees”
We are preparing to launch a new product range for self-employed worker, sole traders, and small, perhaps family, businesses that do not need, or want, the expense of a full website.
Is this enough to promote your business, tell your customers the latest news and offers? Where you are and how you can be contacted? A fully operational WordPress installation, but limited to only 5 pages (inc. posts)
At a very affordable price .. get in touch with us on Twitter
And you can still buy any of the add-ons available to the other products, such as full support.
We will shortly present services, news and tips of getting the most from WordPress, so check back soon.
Naturally WordPress provide economical hosting of WordPress installations for everyone, running on business grade services.
A Personal Service to those who need just a helping hand, and those wanting full support, as technology trainers we can help you all the way. Maybe only whilst you are getting your feet wet or for years down the line, we are on call to provide guidance or problem solving, even personal customisation and development if needed.
Naturally WordPress is brought to you by NW3biz who provide tech. solutions to small businesses, startups, non-profits and charities as well as non-commercial individuals.
It is a well known problem among developers, they never have enough time to finish their own sites!
Please forgive us, as we keep returning, adding more design and content
Here in the Ivory Towers (more like the dungeons of Mordor) a decision has been made. Greatly influenced by our e-commerce directed websites we feel tags should not be limited to only posts. Continue reading “WordPress and Tags and Pages”
Free talk on continuing the use of XP & the alternatives
Primrose Hill Community Centre, Hopkinson’s Place, Fitzroy Rd, NW1 8TN
Wednesday April 30, 2.30pm
To discuss: how to keep older machines with XP running well, and well into the future
Details to follow …
Here you are
lets make it clear:
Windows XP WILL CONTINUE TO WORK after April 2014
There are machines running Windows 2000 still running fine out there. That’s 14 years old, and I could even mention Windows NT4 which is 20 years old! Well maintained quality hardware just keeps on giving!
So what’s this about ‘retiring’ or ‘expiring’?
Microsoft will stop issuing updates for the operating system (XP) and old versions of the web browser (IE, Internet Explorer, for which IE8 was the last to run on XP).
What Should I Worry About?
Not much ..
What Should I Do?
OK, some things are important.
Anti-Virus software (AV)
The main vendors, including the free versions, are saying they will continue to support XP with new versions and regular updates. Why shouldn’t they? Now you’re a captive market.
You may consider upgrading to a product with a built in firewall, though with most peoples’ setup of broadband, this is not critical. Note that heavyweight AV products with lots of features will demand more computer power. This is impractical on machines that were economy retail base units: these products may force you to upgrade your hardware to make your machine usable again.
Web Browsers
Say goodbye to Internet Explorer (aka IE, the friendly blue e icon) only Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome from now on. Both of which, again, have announced they will continue to support XP. IE has been dead in the water for XP users for several years already and has always been a security hazard.
It is important you keep, at least reasonably, up to date with your browser – not because of features but because of the security tools that are built in.
There is the possibility for some to upgrade to Windows 7 ..
Last suggestion – switch to Linux
Its really not as difficult as some would like to make out. Many will work better on older hardware than XP now. Find your local Linux group (most cities have one) or The Restart Project (who may refer you to me ..)
We are hoping to run some classes soon on Linux – watch this space.
