Hello to all you #frothers
Thought I'd take the liberty of starting us a nice new thread as the other is getting rather full. :)

Here, Hunty. Tragic, wasn't it? I watched the interview with them, and they were a very loving couple.

CardyMow · 03/12/2011 22:17

Thank you. I wanted to link to it in the blog post. Sad.

CardyMow · 03/12/2011 22:35

Would a Daily Fail link be too out there to include? Believe it or not, the Daily fail story on this seems to have the most information in it! It's the only article that clearly states that Helen Mullins couldn't claim JSA because she wasn't employable due to her lack of literacy and numeracy skills, and that she couldn't claim ESA because her disabilities weren't diagnosed. The other stories all gloss over that rather than spelling it out clearly.

Let me know about the Daily Fail link please - OK or not?

MmeLindor. · 03/12/2011 22:48

I would use whatever story gave most info. I think I read about it on guardian website. They had the video interview, if I remember rightly

CardyMow · 03/12/2011 22:52

The Guardian doesn't spell out just HOW people are falling through the cracks between ESA and JSa though.

God, that story is so sad. I feel chastened reading it. I am just so miserable that the couple were failed like that, in so many ways.

Anyone know the best way to share a pdf with everyone? Can't post it to fb.

KateMiddIeton · 03/12/2011 23:12

Font I use keep and share. You register, then you can upload documents and make them public.

I'll find a link to the site and post it in a minute.

MmeLindor. · 03/12/2011 23:13

Oh, for fucks sake.

Free schools must promote marriage.

What is PDF? I can put it on my blog and post a link, if that helps?

KateMiddIeton · 03/12/2011 23:16

Www.keepandshare.com I realise I made it sound like it might be a very complicated URL Grin

FontSnob · 03/12/2011 23:17

Tis the first draft of logo.

MmeLindor. · 03/12/2011 23:18

Lol at kate. Sounds interesting. Will check that out

sorry

You need to click on the button on the left of the screen to make it public access. At the moment you need to log in to view.

FontSnob · 03/12/2011 23:42

ahhha like that?

KateMiddIeton · 03/12/2011 23:47

Yes and it is beautiful. What a great job!

FontSnob · 03/12/2011 23:48

Okay, think that is working. Suggestions for changes, complete or minor, welcome.

MmeLindor. · 03/12/2011 23:48

Ooooh. I like it.

Think that the Frothers as title is great and TMC as logo/explanation works well.

FontSnob · 03/12/2011 23:51

Cool, thanks very much, it is okay if people want changes/don't like it i won't cry honest.

CardyMow · 03/12/2011 23:52

That's great!

KateMiddIeton · 03/12/2011 23:54

No it's great. Can you do a square one we can use as an avatar on FB and Twitter please? And then never, ever, ever put it next to the crapola I've put up on there for now Grin

KnottyLocks · 03/12/2011 23:55

Just catching up.

Apologies, been rather busy. BUT tomorrow I'll sort out my google email then twitter stuff.

SEN provision in schools will be being affected. I'm looking into it.

MmeLindor. · 03/12/2011 23:57

Hyperlinks should still work but they may have to paste in HTML mode. Not sure in blogger.

garlicnutter · 03/12/2011 23:57

Whoo, Font, that's BEAUTIFUL!

I'm writing another feed script to bring Facebook posts in to the blog, as well.
After that I'm demoting myself to author ... if I can resist the temptation to get all whizzy with overlays and sliders & things. Which aren't really necessary on a campaigning blog (trying to remember how much other work I'm putting off for this Blush)

Have done all the basic SEO stuff, they should start crawling toomanycuts.blogspot.com over the next few weeks. I've also posted links to it everywhere I could think of. Please remember, Frothers, there's a reason it's called the Web. The more you link back to the blog (and Facebook page and Twitter group), the bigger Frothers becomes and the less They will be able to ignore us!
