How to publish the sporting calendar to your web site

Why not improve your website with very little effort? If you'd like to add some automatically updated relevant content to your website then read on.

I've set up an RSS feed from the the National calendar of events run by James Ventham of Lancashire Sport Partnership.

In order to get the next 10 national sporting events as a list on your website just give the html code below to whoever runs your site for you. Wherever on your site they put it the list will appear - just like magic.

<script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/NationalSportingEventsCalendar?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript" ></script><noscript><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/NationalSportingEventsCalendar"></a><br/>Powered by FeedBurner</p> </noscript>

If you want only 5 events instead of 10, or all events for the year, or in calendar format rather than as a list then just let me know and I'll tell you how to do that too.

New sporting year on the Promoting Sport Toolkit

It’s a big year for sport in 2008, with the obvious highlight being the Beijing Olympics which kicks-off on the 8^th of August.

Thanks to the Lancashire Sports Partnership, the Promoting Sport Toolkit has got it all covered with a comprehensive calendar of the big (and not so big) sporting events of 2008.

Thanks also to Sport England South East for some great new photos that can now be found on the photo library.  These include images of people taking part in bowls, tenpin bowling and orienteering.

If anyone has got anything they would like to share on the Toolkit, drop me an email.  chris.smith@uwe.ac.uk
