The
New Ramsbury Community Site
Ramsbury Parish Council have commissioned a new site at
which now carries all the latest village news and should be your first source of information about clubs, socieities, organisations and businesses in Ramsbury and Axford.
The
Hunger Site
Go to this web site and add it to your Favourites, then you can go to it every day. Click on the button and a hungry person somewhere in the world benefits.
The site is run by the United Nation's World Food Programme, and the food is paid for by corporate sponsors, whose links appear on the "thank you" page.
Utilities
If you find your browsing slow, it might be being slowed down by advertisements
which are being loaded from other sites or by unnecessary animated graphics.
You can make browsing much faster by using filtering software like interMute.
It's easy to install and it saves a lot of time. Think of it as a TV video
recorder that automatically misses out the ads. You'd buy one if you could,
wouldn't you.
interMute is available by download and you can try it for nothing for a while. Find out more at the interMute site.

The following four are our favourite Ring sites
Marlborough in Old and New Images
Medieval Village of Lacock, Wiltshire
Avebury Sites A lovely introduction to one of the local tourist spots.
Moonrakers This site is based in Palmyra, NY, USA but has a wealth of information about Wiltshire. They are REALLY HOT on family trees. If anyone is in the village doing research and has a tree they've done, they would love a copy, even if its hand written
Finding stuff on the net. Search Engines and Indexes.
Most of the search sites like Northern Light, Yahoo, Infoseek, and Altavista will display and work much quicker if you use interMute to cut out the ads.
For lots more information about Ramsbury or anywhere else in England and Wales try this link to UpMyStreet. It's a remarkable site to check if you're looking for more information about Ramsbury or anywhere else. Just enter your post code and find the facts about where you live, including: property prices, schools, council tax, crime clear-up rates, ambulance response, MPs and lots more.
192. Looking for a UK telephone number. Try the UK online phone directory from BT at www.bt.com/phonenetuk. This contains exactly the same information as you get by dialling 192, but it's free and it's probably quicker. It will also reveal the full postal address if you need it. It could be useful for genealogists too.
UK Post Codes. The Royal Mail will tell you the post code if you know the address at www.postcodes.royalmail.co.uk
NorthernLight.com This is a massive
index and our current favourite place for research.
Locate.com
an all-in-one search page.
www.altavista.digital
com
www.infoseek.com This is the one I use most.
www.lycos.com Lycos is
useful when looking for something specific.
webcrawler.com
hotbot.com
www.yahoo.com The most
popular directory and search engine in the world.
www.yahoo.co.uk concentrates
on UK sources.
You can also try the good old UK Yellow pages and A-Z of business at www.yell.co.uk

www.ThisisWiltshire.co.uk. The local newspaper site.
news.bbc.co.uk. All the national news and much much more.
www.cnn.com. Even more international news.
Building your own web site. Design guides and tips..
www.waller.co.uk Dick Waller has put together a collection of suggestions and resources.
He also maintains the Bletchingley Community and Business Pages at www.pncl.co.uk/Bletchingley/ This community project was one of my sources of inspiration for
Ramsbury.com and shows how it might work.
Some of the bouncy graphics on this site originally came from Glover.com
which has now moved to www.JeffGlover.com
Jeff's guide to what makes a site "Sucky or Savvy"
is very helpful, even if you would prefer to use more conventional English.
"Bad or Good" maybe?
Jeff is now the webmaster at www.xoom.com where there are lots of free downloadable goodies and yet another
source of free web space.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) etc.
My home ISP is GLOBAL iNTERnET.
