YorkJitsu

The YorkJitsu web site has been unavailable for a little while.  Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused but the issue with our hosting provider has now been resolved.

The YorkJitsu site has been down for two and a half hours this morning to carry out essential maintenance work.  Over 22,000 files were backed up from our web server and almost 3,000 files updated.  The updates have just been to bring the software used to run the web site up to date and are not intended to provide any notable new features.  If you do notice any issues with the operation of the site, please let us know.

If you use Twitter you can now benefit from this with YorkJitsu.  The site now has information about the Twitter account for the town club and details about the hash tags for the town club and the university club.  If you've no idea what Twitter is and even if you don't currently use it, please have a read of the Twitter page as it will give you an idea of what we're using it for and you don't have to have a Twitter account to make use of our Twitter feeds.

It was noted that there may have been some issues for some site users accessing information from the web site on the Town Club page.  A modification to the page links has been undertaken in an attempt to resolve this intermittent issue.

A few web site updates have been carried out today relating to recommendations for the web site and also some information about some of the club instructors.

With only about 3% of web users currently making use of RSS feeds to we have addd a new feature powered by Feed My Inbox to allow people who do not use RSS feed readers to sign-up to receive the updates directly to their e-mail inbox.

Video footage is slowly starting to be added to the YorkJitsu web site.  The videos are being shot and edited by local club members and then uploaded to YouTube.  Videos are being linked into the main web site when appropriate, but all of the videos are available immediately upon upload via a special Jitsu YouTube Channel.

The YorkJitsu site has undergone some maintenance work today to update some of the core functionality and ensure that the features are up to date.

Should you identify any issues with the site following this update please contact us with details of the issue and where to find it (e.g. the URL) using the web site contact page.  Please choose "Website Feedback" as the category.

The YorkJitsu web site is continuing to gain more updated content as information from the old web site is being added along with brand new information.  Today the web site passed the 100 pages of information threshold with the addition of some new information about breakfalling.

The YorkJitsu web site has had a few core upgrades on Saturday night (22nd November 2008).  These have included the addition of several new features that will hopefully make more of an appearance over the coming months.

There have also been a number of content updates and additions recently so have a browse around - though some of the updates are only available to registered users (if you haven't registered then register on the site home page).
