Site Information - General

Who runs it?

This site is administered by Jim and Thomas Mynors.
Jim is on the organisation's executive committee, and his son, Thomas, provides technical support for the site.

The two can be contacted with feedback or other questions on siteadmin@rural-theology.org.uk and technicalsupport@rural-theology.org.uk respectively.

You may also fill out a feedback form on the site, if you prefer. This form can be used anonymously for comments - you do not need to provide a name.

The current format

The website has been in this format since 2005. If you have any suggestions about how we could improve it, please get in touch.

For more information about the Site's past, look at the History page.

Special Features of the Website

'Random' Images on the Home Page

Two random photos are shown on the Home Page, from a collection of nine. We hope, in the future, to be able to increase the number available. If you have a suitable photograph depicting rural religion, please send it to us and we'll try to include it.

Technical information on how this 'random' feature works is below.

Technical and Legal Information

Copyright

Very few parts of this website require strict Copyright. The following applies:

• Please feel free to link to any part of the site - you need no permission for this. If you think your site is appropriate for the 'Related Organisations' pages, please contact us.
• Many of the images on this site are photos taken by individuals. You may, of course, download them for your own personal use, but please ask us before using them in other public situations - particularly commercial ones.
• The Reading Lists are free of copyright, and are made available as a resource.
• The Journal is copyright, get in touch with journal@rural-theology.org.uk

File Formats

• All web pages on the site are written in HTML and PHP, and their extensions reflect this.
• Files available for download are in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Adobe Acrobat formats, often as well as HTML pages. We endeavour to make all Word/Excel files also available for Adobe Acrobat, because of its wide compatibility.
• Almost all images on the website are JPEGs. We currently use two or three GIFs for special purposes.

For information about Downloading Files, please see this page.

How does ... work?

All of the interactive/user feedback technology on the website runs using PHP (Hypertext PreProcessor, a web scripting language). The feedback forms use a PHP mail function, as does the broken link reporting and dynamic frames for external sites.

We plan to make various scripts available in the future so you can see how the site operates. In the meantime, if there is something you particularly want a copy of, please e-mail Thomas Mynors on technicalsupport@rural-theology.org.uk.

Random Image Selector

Using the PHP srand/rand function, we can generate a random number between 1 and 9 to select the first image, and then add to this number to select the second.
