Our front page may look rather bare at the moment. It will fill up rapidly as we get you to help us write stories and submit photos and videos. In the meantime we have some sample news stories so you get an idea of how it works.
Let me point out a few features that you might miss at first glance. On the top of the page you will see a menu bar that reads “home headlines weather etc”. Click on one of those and you’ll find a lot of very current information.
For example, there are almost 200 headline stories from around the UK and world that are being continuously updated throughout the day.
Wondering what the weather will be like on Thursday? Click our ‘Weather’ section to find out.
There’s a transport section that gives you ‘live’ train schedules updated every 2 minutes! It has information for trains arriving and departing from both Cambridge and Waterbeach.
Our Calendar section lists local events and meetings. You can add your own public event right from your computer screen, too!
And our Directory lists all the local services and businesses in Histon and Impington.
On the upper right side there’s a place to subscribe to the HI Courier by email. You’ll get an an e-mail whenever there is a new story on the website (one email per day).
That’s just a ‘taster’. There’s more to come.
If you have ideas or would like to volunteer time to help make the Courier project a success, please contact Denis Payne denis@dwpayne.net or Ken webeditor@hicourier.co.uk
