May 2003
- 3rd May: The site's best seven day peroid so far ends, with 323 distinct visitors having visted the site. This record last over four months.
- 11th May:
- The site passes the 6,000 visitors mark, 26 days after reaching 5,000.
- The site now has 295 leagues spread over 20 levels, with more than half are in levels 10, 11, 12 and 13.
- My official esitmate for the number of leagues in the Pyramid is now 320-340.
- 11th May:
Updated the League Index so that clicking on a league's name would take you to the relevent part of the Single page Pyramid Structure. This involved placing 295 anchor name tags. Also began research into having the pages database driven, and affordable web-hosting. (These pages are hosted by my university, and there will come a time when I leave. By then I will need the pages hosted elsewhere).
- 17th May:
Decided to have this 'What's New' page, running it for a month before putting it online. I also added a brief history of the site, above. I decided to put the most recent news item on the homepage, with a link to this page.
- 18th May:
- Redesigned the bottom half of the Home page. The aim is to present the information on a more concise and clear way. Extensive use of bullet points is made.
- Also made minor alterations Kent League feeders page. Table is fixed at 780 pixels wide, as the 100% width looked silly at high resolutions.
- Split off feeders to the Surrey County Snr League onto a seperate page. Also discovered said league has a division 1, and include this new information. the rest of the sie is updated accordingly. Site now has 20 active pages.
- Finally, added a link to this page to take users to the bottom.
- 19th May:
- Redesigned the top half of the Home page to ensure that links and poll on whether or not to include details of the Welsh pyramid are sensibley displayed.
- This page goes active.
- The site's best 28-day peroid yet ends, with 1,117 distinct visitors to the site.
- 24th May:
Analysis of site's traffic reports reveals well over half of visitors continues to enter the site on a non-home page. (Principally due to search engines linking directly to the individual pages.). Concieve use of a java-script based toolbar, with each page sourcing a seperate java-script file. The script is in a seperate file for ease of maintainence. This is to ensure that visitors are easily able to access all pages of the site, no matter what their entry page. Research starts on exactly how to achieve this.
- 25th May:
Work continues on the script for the toolbar, hindered by my lack of experience with java. By the end of the day, the important bits have been written.
- 26th May:
Finish writing toolbar, and launch it on site. The following week will reveal its success or otherwise.
