Exploring RI Net

I was having dinner with some RI NET readers on Saturday night and they admitted that they didn't really look at the web site except for the News page (which they check every week when the email is posted). This made me wonder whether other readers are the same.

So, this week an extended did you know that once you're on the News Page...

  1. If you click on 'Raymond Island' in the heading (orange circle above) you'll go straight to the home page where you'll find: live weather forecasts and the week's rainfall; diary headlines; emergency announcements and the link to our residents' Exchange where you can buy, swap or sell goods and services.
  2. Clicking on 'Our Island' is the way to find our beautiful photography galleries.
  3. The 'Community' page has Landcare and RICA updates, as well as some old favourites.
  4. 'Insider' is where you'll find details of our reader competitions and weekly competition and reviews.
  5. The 'Diary' has details of activities and events on Raymond Island and in Paynesville.

Finally, don't forget that you can open news items that are 'hidden' behind the main item by clicking on them in the archive column on the right site (No. 6 in the example, where RI Community Consultation is the main item).

These pages are worth exploring. I'm working on new ones over time and will soon have more about the ferry's history ready to launch. The site can always be improved and your feedback and suggestions to add new features or do things better are happily received.

Cheers,
