An Island Wide Appeal, The chance to Help in a Poetry Project.

Now as you are aware, the fiveislandseye is a completely new and re-vamped blog site, which is run in conjunction with Thescillyindependent, a website that went live, last week. Thescillyindependent is a news website, and at the moment it is still to some extent under construction, so please do be patient in regards to that.

Still though it has been built using WordPress, a Content Management System or CMS for short, which is a fantastic way in which to design and build a website, the best thing as well is it does not require any code at all, everything is modular and it can work within a lot of use cases, from hospitality, technology, e-commerce and more, so if anyone is looking into adapting their businesses in these strange times, then WordPress is fantastic. Another slightly easier CMS to use is Wix, and that works in the same way as any desktop publishing software does, although it is slightly more expensive, but it is largely drag and drop, again making it super easy to get online, in these extraordinary times.

Anyway, I shall not waffle on, digression though, regardless of is quite good and something else that I have found to be of use, is ignoring the news..... Unless of course it is in a local newspaper or on a local news website.

Thescillyindependent earlier, had a comment, on an article, from a poet, called David Redfield. He has previously been interviewed by Linda, on Radio Scilly (Now Islands FM). And he is asking if anyone on the Islands would be interested in helping with his latest project, two of which he is running at the moment, one for where he lives in North Norfolk and the other being for The Isles of Scilly. 

The project that David, is working on is called "The Lockdown Spring Renga Project". Which is a writing project to reflect life under Lockdown, one of which as mentioned above is for where David lives. However, David has also said that his other project is "The Scilly Renga".

David also adds, that he is posting "The Scilly Renga" on "Johnny Mack's Jukebox Page" and on the Isles of Scilly Notice Board page as well as the St Mary's Library Page. If anyone can help or wants to be part of and help with his project and The Scilly Renga, then the link to David's page is below.
