It wasn’t listed as ‘recent articles’ it was just the latest front page news links.
I did attempt to clear up the misunderstanding about ‘Recent Articles’ 😉

The idea was always to carry over the blues as it is a colour associated with “trust”. Trouble is I did the site as it is on zero budget, actually cribbing favours to get it done from Li, again. That was the way the template came and I had no time to make colour alterations, which is part of the reason for the request to spend a few quid on it.
New logo ;)….
Tell you what Ade, I’ll bargain with you here and say that, when I have the time to do it (please bear in mind I have a day job or three) and I can find what I think looks right then I’ll whack it up for approval.
Whilst you ponder that there reckoned to be over 100,000 fonts available. It takes a bit of time to trawl through them, then you have to… shock… actually PAY for them unless I “acquire” what I want and that only adds to the time factor.
Alternatively someone can pay a design house to do it for us. The current UKW one cost about £10,000 to do (IIRC) and the ISE one, IIRC, was about £6000. Then, on top of that, if you want to trademark it to protect it as ISE is and UKW is about to be, then there’s another £2500 or so, assuming there’s no problems.
You can get it done a lot cheaper for sure but, as usual, you very often get what you pay for and the harsh reality is that everything has a price tag. 😉

Re: WTA Website
well, its a bit rude, 😉 When I logged onto the previous WTA site it greeted me thus, ‘Hi Jim’, now it says ‘Hi Banks’ 😥

It’s just now using the username instead of the actual name. 😉

Sorry, didn’t explain correctly…. spelling mistakes AND the consitution need to be amended as it’s not our agreed one up there!

Re: WTA Website
You are correct, spotted three smelling pistakes or typo’s on the WTA History page, also corrected. Will have a look through the rest later, got to make the tea now. 😀

Re: WTA Website
Right, I have gone through about two thirds of the whole sheebang, iespell, is a wonderful tool 😉 , corrected the spelling mistakes/typo’s, tidied up a bit of grammar here and there, will get through the rest later.
One thing did puzzle me, it was in the, Industry Issues, A Modern Trade, article.
‘ An industry trade group is generally a public relations organisation funded, founded and formed by corporations that operate in a specific industry. Its purpose is generally to promote that industry through PR activities such as advertising, education, political donations, political pressure, publishing, and astroturfing‘.
Astroturfing???????????? WTFJim.
