Headlines
The home page has a revolving news headline - with up to 10 stories - allowing you to see the most recent news additions to the website without having to search.

Print, PDF and E-mail Articles
At the top of every article (story) selected, you will find 3 icons in the top right hand area. These icons allow you to: Print the article; Create a PDF of the article; and e-mail the article to either yourself or someone else.

Local Food Directory
Use our Local Food Directory (under Forth Valley Local Food Chain) to quickly search for producers and sellers of a wide range of local food.

Links Directory
Our links directory provides community and business links out to organisations websites that we think will interest you. Depending on what section you are in, the links directory will offer you target links.

The Library
Our new online library contains all of our publications that either we have researched and produced, or ones that we have been involved in. The library is divided into categories - but you can also search the entire library with the search button. The library also contains a section with links to other websites that you might find of interest.

Events Calendar
Our new events calendar has many interesting events which you can search through easily by keyword, or by browsing through categories, or months, or days. You can also add an event.

Stay Up to Date with RSS Feeds and the Bulletin
You can easily stay up to date with new articles and stories on our website. RSS makes it possible for you to keep up with our  web site in an automated manner that's easier than checking it manually. If you use Internet Explorer 6 or 7 (and many other popular browsers) you probably have an RSS feeder built in already. If you don't have one of these browsers, view the BBC website information on RSS feeds for a list of recommended RSS readers. Whenever you see the orange RSS button on our site - click it and then you're done - it's simple, it's easy, and you don't need to provide any personal details - not even your e-mail address. And, if you would like our popular monthly bulletin, then you will find a link on the bulletin page (next to the tag cloud).

Contact us
We do hope that you enjoy the new look and feel to the website. During the first month we do expect some teething problems. We are sorting these as quickly as we can. However, if you wish to let us know about something, or if you need any help or assistance with the website, please do get in contact - you can find our details in the contact section, where you will also find a contact form.
