I have recently been working on my first project on the MediaWiki platform, a football wiki site for FootballFanCast.com. The Football Fans Wiki is a wiki written from the fans perspective, with information about each team's stadium, transport info, where to eat & drink locally, songs, programmes, merchandise store, links,video clips & more.

Key features that I added as MediaWiki extensions:

  • Register and login from the FFC site instead of through MediaWiki itself
  • News & blog feeds on the wiki homepage

The Football Journalist - Blog Customisations

The Football Journalist is a blog site aimed at people who want to become professional sports and football journalists. It features listings of sports journalism courses and jobs within the football industry.

I applied a few basic customisations to the theme, changing the background image and adding in the adsense blocks and job listings widgets. I also used a few of my favourite plugins to apply SEO to the site.

As the site is linked with FootballFanCast (one of the leading football blog and podcasting sites in the UK) I would highly recommend it for anyone who is working towards a carreer in football journalism.
