Tourney: Hell's Belles, vol. 1 - 15-16.10.2011

I'm guessing we could host it under a sub domain of lhbpa (something like http://llhbpc.lhbpa.org, http://ladies.lhbpa.org or http://hellsbelles.lhbpa.org) and you could still be admin and control it.

It would also give you more control over the style as blogs hosted on wordpress lack features that a custom wordpress install have. Having them both under the same domain might improve seo on both sites as well(not sure about this).

I'm sure we could sort something out if you wanted to. Would just seem to make sense to keep it all in one place rather than spread it out over multiply areas.

Site looks good though btw

Thanks Sandy. We have discussed the various options before and settled on this so it's probably best we keep it there.

But yes, wordpress sucks.

Originally we were going to make an all-singing-all-dancing Hell's Belles domain, but then it was decided that this was too much work (where would the traffic come from, they already had an active Facebook page, etc) and so we created the LHBPA page and registration page instead.

Brooks then wanted a "blog" for the tournament however (and are fronting most of the funding for the event) and so Joni kindly offered to create one.

In the future I agree that it'd be good to keep everything together in one place, but perhaps tournaments (with their strong links to brands/sponsors) should have separate domains (with a small page and link outbound from the LHBPA site) to make it clear that the LHBPA is owned/run by the London community (no ongoing ties to sponsors, etc)?

Then again maybe a sub-domain on the LHBPA site is enough, it also means more people could (potentially) have the tech help/know how from Sandy and co to realise their ideas, etc.

Team with the youngest poloist just signed up.
Leah of wheely wheely goal fame!

Site looks good though btw

+1. The banner is looking good, and I'm liking the little lhbpa logo additions, and the sponsorship section.

Also, Joni, I broke my parole and went into the dashboard.. then couldn't help but make two whole posts... But i didn't break anything. Success!

Phew!

Comfortable Shoes is an awesome name.

Also, Chukker Dorris. Ha. Who are Ludo and Eileen?

Ludo, B's girlfriend. At Brendan's suggestion, their team name is this, but I am awaiting confirmation from the girls.

Eileen is from MKE. She started playing years ago in Berlin (and played in the shoreditch invitational), but then didn't play for a long time.. Since coming back to London for postgrad work at LSE, she's been trying to start back up again..

Man, I should write bios.

Ah, cool.
