Caroline
Wise, AU, and Steve
Wilson, AU, both of London, UK, received
authorization to create the First Official Central FOI Website in
1995. The website was published to the
internet in early 1996. (*) This entry gives an idea of the general
excitement about
the FOI going online, and an idea of what the
world was like for most people in 1996, before many of us had home
computers,
or heard of html code and netscape!
Announcement
of the First Central FOI Website Isian News, Issue Number 79,
Brigantia 1996 Editorial
What is more, members running commercial operations may advertise with us for 5 pounds per year. Other groups doing voluntary work with FOI members involved may also have free pages, Dragon will have an entire network soon (most Dragon members are in the FOI, it is an ecological campaign group for Pagans) and the newsletter of the Campaign Against Live Exports, and animal rights group, is already up. In the next few weeks people will be able to fill in an on-screen form and join the FOI directly through the computer. Please note that the FOI got onto the Web before the Church of England, showing just who is ready for the future. We will also be creating links to other sites, such as the Pagan Federation and the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, who will return the favour. The
site is already listed
for all major ‘search engines’ (programs that
search the Web for subjects) under ISIS, GODDESS, PAGAN, WICCA,
DRUID, RELIGION and some other references.
Paid for initially by John Merron of the Lyceum of Elen of the
Greenways, it is
sponsored by Atlantis Bookshop and will
hopefully pay for itself through these cheap advertisements.
