I have finally realised why none of my links are working on ANY of my articles on the UCE news site , so after some painful editing of html- I blame new times roman and their 'curly' speechmarks- I think that I have got it sorted, so click away.
I have now finished my article on Birmingham Blaze football team, which features an interview with the teams manager Garry Brown, and posted it on the UCE Newsite , in the Local section.
I am still researching news worthy stories for the 'gay' section of our news site, and I am waiting on an email interview response from Birmingham, 'Pride 07' events director Dabid Babbington, and hopefully will have another story for the gay section on our newsite.

Contacts
This is the email that I have sent in order to persue my articles for the 'GAY' section of our community website.
Hi David, I found your contact details on a regional BBC news website for Gay pride 2007 in Birmingham. I was wondering if you would mind answering a few questions about the event this year, and a few about last years event, comparisons, views, events, excitements etc!!!
I will be publishing the final article, about Birmingham Pride 2007, online, as part of the 'UCE News Site'. It would be brilliant if you could get back to me as soon as possible to let me know, and I will finalize my questions for you, and get the article on the way. I don't know my scope on word count for the article as yet, but I am wanting to make it quite a large feature/interview piece in our Gay Community part of the site, with lots of colourful images. This will be great publicty/pr for PRIDE 07 for the student community. I look foward to hearing from you, thanks for listening.
Jessica.
His contact details are: everevent@blueyonder.co.uk
I am still awaiting a reply in order to write up a large feature article on this massive event. information about PRIDE, are easily accessible on the internet, and from the gay community section on BBCnews site for birmingham I have also found further stories of interest for the site, I am emailing other contacts for leads on other stories.
It is just a matter of waiting for reply's from my contacts.

PRIDE 07 - Gay Community
I have been reseraching and making contacts regarding GAY PRIDE in Birmingham this year.
The BBC regional news website for Birmingham has released a statement from the events director, and is as follows:
The plans for Pride 2007 have been revealed. Events Director David Babbington tells us why he believes this year will be the best ever.
"Birmingham Pride began in 1997 and now, in 2007, it’s time to make some changes. Lots of work has been going on between the gay community and Birmingham City Council to give the event some stability, growth, financial input and make it into an event the community and Birmingham can be proud of.
Sparkle at Pride
I am pleased to say we are now moving together under the umbrella of Birmingham City Council, making the event bigger, better, transparent and putting the community at the heart of what happens. The theme for this year is: “United for Equality”". http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/content/articles/2007/02/09/birmingham_pride_preview_2007_feature.shtml
There is much excitement surrounding this years event, and with it being a decade of this event happening, then I can't think of a better time to do a large coverage piece for this- feature, photographs, and I have contacted David for a possible interview. I am also going to persue further articles surrounding the PRIDE event, and interview gays/lesbians that are students at UCE.
GAY PRIDE 07 is going to be my main article as part of the 'Gay' section that I am covering as part of 'Community' section of the UCE newsite that we are to produce in our Online Journalism Module.
