Today I upgraded the core (concrete 5) of the site to the latest version. I would like to say it went well, but that would not be true. A package in the past failed to install, and although it was supposed to have been removed, bits of it still remained and this were preventing the site from upgrading. The good news is everything is back up and running and on the latest version.

Other progress on the site has been on hold for the last month, but I am trying schedule in some time to work on it. Hopefully the basic layout of the verified twitter accounts will be completed by the end of the weekend.

The first sections of the site were made live earlier this week, this included establishing the basic layout of the site and the key functions such as allowing users to register with the site.

Over the next few weeks we will gradually be adding content to the site as well as rolling out some new features we have been working on.

The plan:

• Start adding content to the side, initially in the ‘Tips & Tricks’ and ‘The Web’ sections with the other sections being populated by the end of the month.


• Launch the specialised Twitter Trends section. We have already started recording the data for this captured from the API.


• The site is built using concrete 5 and the pages are populated using content blocks, we are working on a custom block type used to display dynamic lists.


• The home page is still looking a bit blank, our hope is that this will eventually be feed by summaries of the other site sections when they have been established.
