Help with new Astro Society website please.

[michaelmorris]

Hi Folks

I'm putting together a new website for my local astronomical society (www.worcesterastro.co.uk) .  I already have moonnations's Moon Phase and Clear Outside embedded in the home page.  I'm looking for ideas for other embedded code/ twitter feeds/RSS feeds that might be of interest to members. 

Any suggestions?

(NOTE - I know virtually nothing about programming in HTML and I don't have the time or inclination to learn!.  All that you see is drag and drop stuff in Weebly or pre-prepared embed code)

I had read Wordpress makes it easy

You can try to source the updateable weather satellite imagery for example (not the date/time specific ones which change often but ones with say a -weather_channel.jpg ending).

As a web master and HTML guy, i have to say that overall it aint bad at all. The layout in general could do with a few tweaks here and there...........but nothing major. Its mainly your home page that could do with a lift.

Try the S&T RSS Feeds http://www.skyandtelescope.com/subscribing-sky-telescope-rss-feeds/

I did our website in Apple's iWeb the only drawback is updating the news section needs to be done in iWeb I should have done the regularly updated sections in Wordpress and used RSS to embed the output do that it looked the same as the rest of the site. I have used RSS feeds to power the events lists which is just linked to a google calendar via feed burner and yahoo pipes to extract the relevant info for each particular feed.
