Illuminate ICTVery Open SourceWe have now set up a code server to publish all of our open source work - even those tiny bits of code that we often write to solve a particular problem. We are very dedicated to sharing knowledge, especially since we (and the groups we do work for) have benefitted so much from the hard work of other open source developers.

Server is dead, long live Tomato!We at illuminate iCT are in the process of doubling our webserver capacity! We've started to notice that the performance of our main webserver isn't as good as we'd like it to be - it's getting quite full and it's beginning to show. Categories: Circuit Rider Blogs
Styling tips for web pagesIlluminate ICT spend a good deal of time working on your site designs. When they leave us, we're usually very proud of what we've achieved and we've given you a sturdy platform on which to build rich and beautiful content - I may be getting carried away! However, this is where one of the pitfalls of a Content Managed website rears it's fat, ugly head. Categories: Circuit Rider Blogs
Your Site in a DayIlluminateICT has been working to develop a low cost entry solution for smaller voluntary and community organisations to let them get onto the internet. Using the powerful Drupal solution we have now created a method that will allow organisations to create their own web site in a day. Categories: Circuit Rider Blogs
Glossary of Internet TermsWe're starting to build up a glossary of internet terms. Some of the vocabulary used when discussing some of the technical bits of dealing with websites can be be a bit obscure. We try to be clear in all our communications with you and it's helpful for us sometimes if we can point you to a page on our site that explains what we're talking about.

Google ChromeGoogle have launched a new web browser called Chrome. It's an early release and there is obviously a lot more work to do. but it looks clean and simple to use. Categories: Circuit Rider Blogs
Colour SchemesColour schemes can be really hard to arrive at. Do you select colours that are of similar hue (different blues for example). Or do you use colours that clash with each other (red and green for example). Categories: Circuit Rider Blogs
Converting colours for the internetIn most design software, especially when designing for the internet, colours are defined with values of Red, Green and Blue, often just called RGB. So, a red colour will have a high value for R, and lower value for G and B. Categories: Circuit Rider Blogs
New Tips and Tricks sectionOur site now has a tips and tricks section in the Web area. In here, we'll put anything we think you'll find useful. As with all the other site content, the tips and tricks will be fully searchable. You can reach it from the Web menu, or directly from here. Categories: Circuit Rider Blogs

The conference has begunA good turnout for the first Drupal conference facilitated by illuminateICT.
