Welcome to the Lady Bay web site
Hello. Click Here to see the most recent additions to the site.
This site is open to all to postings from residents of the Lady Bay area of Nottingham, but anyone can read it. The site has been running for over ten years now and gets ( look at the banner for a number ) or more new hits each month.
 
I'll make the flashy thing show the most recent visitor number again when I can get a moment. These number are daft anyway - other ways of counting visits show nearly 50,000 visitors. The numbers of pages read, or at least looked at reaches in to the millions.
 
Throughout this time the site has been a free facility offered to viewers and posters alike who live or work in the Lady Bay area of West Bridgford in Nottingham (England). In the past year, many adverts carried in the Lady Bay Newsletter are also shown here - for a £2.00 fee payable to the LBCA. 
 
As far as I am aware, this was one of the first sites in the world to offer user input - far predating 'Blogs' by using my own software. Ho hum...
 

It has long been my desire that the site should be run by the community for the community, but easy to use technology to allow that has not been readily available until recently - now it is. Any person or group, company or service which has direct links to Lady Bay can contact me, the 'webmaster' and request their own page or pages on this site - at no cost. The site content will be vetted by myself and any other user of the site for common standards of decency, honesty and with luck also accuracy. Personal opinions can be posted in the appropriate areas (when they are created) but these too will be vetted. It is not the aim of this site to act as free advertising of products or services, but links to site which do offer adverts are allowed. So, for example, shops and businesses can have a page each which gives a description of the service provided, but prices will not be accepted - links to owner's existing sites which may include prices and details of products are acceptable. The Lady Bay web site is intended to be a directory of all that is, has been, or will be happening or available in this area. My belief is that people will come to you if you fulfil an existing need, you can make that known from here.

Events like the Open Gardens and Open Studios, group meetings, plays etc can have their own pages - linked to the LadyBay online Events Diary which can be updated by you the user after registration on the site. Registration requests for creating diary entries, requests for pages etc can be made from this site by using the LOG IN menu entry in the red menu on the left hand side of this page. Once registered you will need to use your password to enter the update sections of the site (of which there will be many). In order to keep track of what is going on, the site keeps information about posters but not visitors to the site - other than counting them! Any questions may possibly be answered on the FAQ section.

Here's hoping this extension of the Lady Bay web experiment goes well! Thanks for your support over the years. Simon Anthony, webminder. New Info - please read...

New site update facility added - 14/6/2006. From today registered users can log on to the site and post a blog. Selected users (that's most of you) will see a 'submit ' menu below the normal red one, for most of you every entry will work. The Blog option will always work.


To post more than a simple Blog, first select the general topic headline and you will be taken to an edit page for that section. Next, select a more specific area if available from the 'drop down menu' called 'Category' on the edit page. You can cut and paste directly from Word (etc) or type directly in to the windows. There are two. The top one is for an introduction if needed. The lower edit window is for the main text.

When you are done, click on the Save icon - which looks like and old-style floppy disc. And that's it!

The moderator (me) will get an email saying an item has been submitted, once moderated the item will be on show to the world. You can post pictures too, but they must be small enough to fit the screen!

To see the latest additions to the site, select the New News menu item from the red menu on the left.
