Arugam Bay Information

As Fred as stated on his previous post, it was time for a change for arugam.info… I promised him a long time ago, but you know how things are… Anyway here we are now.

I have managed to convert Fred to blogging for Arugam Bay, not that it is important to be caught in the trend of blogging, but just that I believe it is a convenient way to provide news day by day about the bay and what’s going on around, but also that it is very easy to update for a none programmer savvy.

We are currently re working the content for this site to be feeded not only by news a like information but also we want to make it a reliable ressource of informations for the ones who wants to visit us at Arugambay.

Since we want this site usefull for you!!! we would love to hearing from you about what kind of contents you think should be available at arugam.info, please feel free to use the comments box to wave your voice. We will hear all of you and will do our best to make this site meets your needs.

Help us a make a better ressource for the bay, togethere we are strong !!!

Here is a suggestion where other travelers to and from Arugam Bay Stopped Over.

Shown is the “White Monkey” Guesthouse high in the hills of Haputale. At 5 Euro or so/night a truly wonderful place with a view. Wrap up to your partner; it’s cool up there. But wonderful.

Hi Folks!
Greg, our new webmaster has presented me with a brand new idea.
To overcome out of date home pages he thinks a Blog is the anwer.

I still believe it’s a funny idea. Because we already have more than enough Bogs…specially around here…
Although old in age; I never refuse to give any innovation or improvement a fair chance.

Here it is!

We made a start; how we go from here?
Where are the photos?
How does the show come online for all the see?
How is it helping us in Arugam Bay?
Do we have a slight chance to compete with donation dripping “Mercy Corpse” and their prodigies?
Because:
We LOVE compettition!
It serves to improve matters and is in the interest of our home Bay.
How can I refuse to cooperate; it’s half of my life’s ambition.

Cheers
Fred

Great! We have attracted your attention. Above is just our idea of the best shot so far. Well done! This Love & Romance Heading has been more powerful than the usual War and Murder Headlines. What we would like YOU to do now is to enjoy the album. Maybe there is someone amongst you who can help us to enable the wider public to change contents of this site. For example, please help us but voting for the best looking couple of the 2006 season, looking at the photos we and others submit. We are no webmasters or experts, and are learning slowly without much assistance how to adopt the Internet to our location and situation. Please contact ArugamFoto@gmail.com if you are able to assist us. How to make things better. We are looking forward to provide a transparent, democratic online voting system.
