St Neots Citizen

The Citizen Editor announced today that the Citizen had upped sticks and moved to a proper host.

“We’re very tired after moving,” said the Editor. “We had to wrap up all the stories and comments, put them in boxes and load them into a van. Then we had to unpack them again at the other end.”

The move came after the Citizen started getting a ridiculously high number of hits, despite having not properly launched yet. “Our actual launch is 1st August,” said the Editor, “once BT finally hook Citizen Towers up to the outside world.” The Citizen team had given up waiting for Virgin Media who had been promising that their service would be available “any day now” for over three months.

Until this date the Citizen is still not “officially” launched and therefore may seem a bit unpolished over the next week. Editor Tim C promised that by the launch date everything “will be lovely”, and all the archive stories will be available.

But what does this mean for you, the reader? You can still access the Citizen via thecitizen.co.nr, but if you’ve bookmarked the site itself you’ll need to change it to http://citizen.foshiznik.com. And if you want to submit a story, please use the address submit@citizen.foshiznik.c

So, thanks for all your support so far and please continue to enjoy the St Neots Citizen

Part of the network

Please excuse our layout for a while, things like inconsistent fonts, fontsizes and styles will all be ironed out before we “go live”.

The new St Neots Citizen wants you, the residents of the best town in Cambridgeshire, to get your jounalist hats on and contribute to the site!

The uploading of the old stories will be done soon, and we’ll be needing rewrites of the “lost” ones. But every good news site needs, um, news. Otherwise it’d be the St Neots History Citizen – and it’s not.

Until we get a proper submissions area sorted out (i.e. when we have permanent hosting) you can submit your story by leaving a comment to this post. Comments are moderated so it’ll appear as a proper story.

Please remember – no real names. And Bob Farms is still the only “madcap local councillor”…

Cheers and that!

The Citizen Editor

Welcome to the new temporary home of the St Neots Citizen. Over the next couple of days the archive will be uploaded and we’ll start re-writing the missing stories.

If you want to get involved, leave us a comment.
