what's new

this page will give you an insight into some new features that are now available on the myherefordshire.com portal, so check back regularly !

social networking - july 08

you may notice there is a new feature on the left-hand side of each page on myherefordshire.com . We are starting to implement a number of social networking and interactive features, the first of which is a method of bookmarking individual pages on myherefordshire.com. Social Bookmarking is a way for you to collect links to your favourite web resources so that they are easily available anywhere in the world. You can also then share these bookmarks with others if you wish. The button we have provided gives you a quick and easy way to add your pages to your chosen Social Bookmark account. Have ago and let us know what you think.

getting involved competition - april 08

are you involved with a charitable or non-profit organisation ? do you have a website ? not yet working with myherefordshire.com ? then why not enter our new 'getting involved' competition and possibly win a top-of-the-line Pocket PC....(This competition has now finished)

youth zone - april 08

the release of our new youth zone is a major development for us. Initially the zone will encompass the 14-19 prospectus and our new positive activities section, but we intend to build on the zone and create a comprehensive information resource for young people.

This is a searchable database of activities tailored specifically for the 13 to 19 age group, and it is designed to increase the range of activities available to our Herefordshire young people. To gather the activities, we have been working with a number of providers and have many more to come in the following months, but if you organise events and activities for young people, then get in touch or add you events to myherefordshire. If you specify an age group in the main events section, then if appropriate your events will also be made available in the youth zone. Any ideas or comments on this new section would be most welcomed.

who's who - april 08

we have just finished development of the Herefordshire Who's Who directory on myherefordshire.com. This will be the definitive guide to Community Development workers in the county and will enable anyone to find the Community Development worker most able to help them. It will also enable Community Development workers to signpost to other workers or agencies easily as well as improve networking. The Who's Who Guide is a fully searchable database, enabling searches on various categories including first name, last name, geographical area of work, postcode, organisation name and work type categories.

The first stage of the directory is to enable individual Community Development workers to create an account in which they can create their own Who's Who Directory profile and update it as necessary. This will ensure that the guide is always up to date, and then when we have a good number of profiles, we will enable the search interface.
If you are a Community Development Worker, then register with myherefordshire.com, wait for your registration confirmation email, then login, and following a link from the bottom of your 'myprofile' page you can create your Who's Who profile.

the big picture - march 08

if you haven't heard of it yet, the Big Picture is a project to create the biggest photo album in the West Midlands. Everyone can add their favourite pictures - family, friends, local landmarks, even your pets, and it is really easy to share your photos and tell the stories behind them. myherefordshire.com is supporting the initiative so have a look at our Big Picture page and then why not submit some pictures of your own.
