Aryblæn! will feature more Flash driven content featuring local artists and musicians in coming months. There will still be a significant amount of coverage of The Nomads and moreso of other local football teams in lower leagues, as resources and facilities allow.

The question of sponsorship per se depends on the outcome of discussions pending between Aryblæn! and The Nomads' new owners. It may be that Aryblæn! is able to offer The Nomads some sponsorship, as in previous years, or it may even prove to be more mutually beneficial for the roles to be reversed and thereby support expansion into other areas of media production.

All options are open at present although the principal sponsor for Aryblæn remains Alan (and Alison) Stevens, whose prompt support and encouragement in May ensured a further year for the project in its current form.

Some template pages are being hosted and tested at netfirms.com on a website I initially set up at the club's request before Aryblæn! but which fell into disuse when the then directors decided they didn't like the (free) host's banner ad at the top of the page but wouldn't commit to paying for hosting!

Such as it is, several new designs will appear at that url in coming weeks to explore the reliability (and production time required) of seting up an fully integrated Flash site with all of the multimedia features that allows - streaming video, music and archived match video playlists.

Such a website is bound to be highly design intensive and time consuming to maintain but the appeal it brings makes the addition of more and varied content an essential element in order to attract subscribers and advertising or sponsorship. It may be an other year (season) before all of the elements are in place, and by which time others will undoubtedly be attempting a similar synthesis but the experience of producing Aryblæn! in its various forms since 1998 will be critical.
