About

One purpose of this blog is to test different themes, layouts, etc. before applying them to the Crofton Scouts Website.

Themes change how the blog looks

People can see and interact with the blog in different ways by using one of Blogger’s themes. Google Blogger offers a number of different themes to control the overall appearance of the blog. For example, compare this blog with the Crofton Scout Group website.
What are we trying to achieve?
Before making radical changes to the scouts website we could do well to consider our target audience and try to find ways to make it easy for them to access the information they're looking for.


Regardless of the aesthetics of the different themes,fonts, colour schemes and backgrounds, the website needs content! Up to date news and relevant information will make visitors want to return.

As treasurer of the scout group, which has limited funds, I could never contemplate paying for software or hosting, choosing instead to make use of any free facilities on offer. Sadly, in late May the Escouts service suffered technical problems from which they have yet to recover, the result being that they are currently unable to supply hosting services. I had often thought that, if I were to build another website, I would see what could be achieved using Blogger as the main tool. Now is my chance to find out.....
