Thought you might like to see one of my sites which has been attracting rather a lot of media attention after Stephen Fry tweeted about it twice in the last six months.

Able2UK is a slightly tongue-in-cheek approach to news relating to disabilities – from mental health through to physical disabilities and everything in between. I provided training for the owner of the site (who had never used Joomla! before), who completely self- manages the site on a day-to-day basis, and support with the general design and development.

It uses JA Methys and a couple of the included extensions, with K2 to drive the news stories.

Thanks – took quite a hammering on the latest Stephen Fry tweet – 30,000 hits within 10 minutes! Looking at ways to reduce the database calls it makes, mostly relating to K2 I think.

As I mentioned, it’s loosely based on JA Methys 🙂
