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

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....
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.
interactive parish carbon footprints - january 08
do you have a parish, village, group/club website? You can now
have an interactive graph of your parishes carbon footprint. This
graph, and your parish average will change as more and more people
complete their personal footprint. See the
get involved
page for more details or have a look at the Golden Valley Environment Group's website to
see them in action. Want to see how your neighbouring parishes
are doing ?? Visit the
statistics
page and you can choose any parish to see their average. So
spread the word and try to drive down your parish average.
