Thanet District Council’s Forward Plan just published
Bit of egg on face for TDCIT there though as the document is titled WEALDEN DISTRICT COUNCIL, let me explain.
If you have limited IT abilities and unsuitable web publishing software, (I should point out here if you have the right software that has been properly configured you don’t need any special skills to publish to the internet,) you can cheat by using someone else’s skills.
So if say you have to produce a document for the internet that has columns images etc and you don’t know how to produce one, you find a similar document elsewhere on the internet, right click on it and click on view source.
Behold the HTML appears, all you have to do then is to change the text in it for the text you want to publish and then put the amended source document on your web server, leaving HTML coding that you don’t understand well alone.
If the engineer who tells you this cheat has a wicked sense of humour he may omit to mention that near the top of the page is the title and the tags for the search engines that you also need to change, or you will be caught out by anyone with the most rudimentary knowledge of computing.
Anyway I digress back to the forward plan, links to all of the forward plan documents may be found here. http://tdc-mg-dmz.thanet.gov.uk/Published/C00000151/P00000126/$$$Plan.doc.htm
The title of this page is, forward plan and the tags for a search engine are Council & Democracy
so a search engine looking at it wouldn’t know it had anything to do with TDC, probably as well really.
Update they have changed the title of the page to Thanet District Council Forward Plan
, still no keywords.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
Yawn
