Update

Having a presence online has massive benefits. Firstly, it enables us to reach so many people, which means my blog is read by people all across the world. It also means people can find us, just by looking at their phone or computer. Which is brilliant when you’re a small, boutique B&B in Champagne.

However the website needs regular care, as the platform we use is constantly being updated, which means adapting the website for the latest changes. It’s also important for us to keep our website current and fresh, to ensure our readers and visitors have a pleasant experience, and to make sure all the photos are up to date.

We will often chat between us, to discuss what’s needed; what works, what doesn’t work and what we’d love to do. Brian is the one who knows how it all works though, so, with some input from me, he takes care of it.

For a few weeks he has been wanting to move our site to an updated version that our platform had recently introduced. However, this came with a couple of worries, which I know had been playing on his mind. Firstly, would we lose all the blog pages? And secondly would the diary still work after the update? Both of these could cause a lot of heartache, and difficulty, but he knew it needed to be done. He’d had a few days working in his workshop on the doors, in the cold, so I suggested that maybe he has a change of scenery and spends the day working on the website. After a day of testing and checking, then changing things and testing again, the move over went pretty cleanly, apart from a few little things that need fixing. Phew!

A big thank you to those readers who have spotted a couple of issues for us. We really appreciate your input, and Brian is working to get them corrected.
