Nearly there but have not done much for a few days as J, and now I, have gone down with seasonal bug. Whisky sour, to get the vitamin C of course,  seems to help but I think that the evidence for benefits from vitamin C is very weak if not completely missing so may be it is the scotch.

I have just got to scale the icons on the links page, expand some of the text on Tai Chi and then the techy stuff so you don’t need to put /wp at the end of the web address which is quite long enough.

I am doing all this on my old laptop running Linux (Dell Inspiron, Ubuntu 16.04LTS if you are interested). What I must start doing is using my phone to post.

I have decided to stick with the basic 2017 Theme but I have uploaded a photo taken by my son from the top of Wudangshan on our 2016 trip to China for the home page background. There is a tale to tell, including a 3m long snake, as to why I didn’t take a suitable photo from the top that day…

I plan to have a static home page with links to About Me, About Tai Chi, The Wudang Style, Classes, Useful links and the dreaded Blog. I say dreaded because I’m not sure I want to pontificate to all and sundry!

Next step is to knock out a mission statement so here goes:

This website is intended to

1. Publicise the club to attract new members
2. Alert members to useful info/resources
3. Keep members informed about upcoming social and special events

I will be adding posts on a regular but as yet undecided frequency.

I am doing this because I think  Wudang style taijiquan is a great form of exercise and self defense.  I want to pass on what little I have learned over the last 25 years or so.

I am setting up a new site for the club. It has been a steep learning curve but I have bought/leased the domain, rented server space, got to grips with cPanel to park the domain and installed WordPress. I am now learning how to use it by posting this!
