Do you offer any other services?

We also run a digital media website and service - myfishbitesmedia.co.uk

Great name - where did that come from?

The idea came from a clothing range from the now defunct 'sons not dogs' people who were really helpful to us about the name - for which we thank them!! The name was used because we want to provide youth work resources that are Biblical, that bite and that are real.

This site has been checked and is functional in Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE 5+ for PC (although some aspects don't work unless you have IE8+). This also works under Mac OSX using Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Opera.

PNG Images - Internet Explorer 5 and 6 do not display PNG files properly, due to the inept way the browser works. We've tried to address this issue, but if you are running IE5 or IE6, please upgrade to the latest version of the browser, or preferably use Chrome or Firefox.

Your other needs for full use of this site

If you want to make the most of this site then you will need to have the following items:

Adobe Reader (to read pdf files)

Microsoft Powerpoint may be helpful (or Powerpoint viewer - PC only)

Apple Mac

Proudly created using an iMac - why not consider making the change

Other Software and technology used

The site has been developed using Adobe Creative Suite Premium. The website uses www.godsweb.co.uk as the host, great features at unparalleled prices. They've been a helpful, reliable and excellent Christian company to deal with - highly recommended.

I also used the free code from http://www.mways.co.uk/prog/hidemail.php

Mobile / Cellphones

This site is not fully compatible with older mobile / cellphones and PDAs, although it displays fine on smartphones.

Disability

We hope that this site is easy to navigate and use. We have made every effort to re-design the site to make it more easy to read than before where it was white text on a bluey background. We have also made Verdana the main typeface as it is a little larger and clearer than Arial. We hope this has helped. At the moment there are no plans to make this site accessible directly by speech enabled software.

If you have a Mac it is possible to get the Mac to speak a limited amount of text by going to System Preferences > Speech and using the options there. Mac OSX includes 'VoiceOver' for free - making the operating system friendly for those with visual impairment. Click here for more info about that...

Search Engine

The search facility is provided free of charge by freefind.com and you should type in a word that you are looking for and it will bring up pages containing that word or theme, if contained in the site.
