Hi All,
 
What wonderful weather we had this Summer!  Good for walking, but not good for keeping up with web-site update plans.  On the first anniversary of Coventry Walks site going live (21-July), the only change I made was to update the "Hits History" page - I had meant to have completed some enhancements users had requested, and send a newsletter.
 
With cooler (and even a few wetter) days recently I have had a purge on catching up.  So for those who haven't been keeping up with "latest" news, I summarise key changes since the Nov-2003 newsletter:
 
1. Added and updated information about the new Prologis Country Park.
 
2. Added an information page about "A Coventry Way CIRCULAR WALKS" book which is now published.
 
3. Added information about areas which are Good for Dogs.
 
4. Drafted information about best walking areas "just outside Coventry".  The draft is nearing completion - your corrections/improvements are invited.
 
5. I have also made progress on technical improvements.  I have reformatted all pages on the site to use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets, which should work consistently in all modern browsers) and to replace the "frames" with a within page header (Thus ensuring visitors who arrive from a search engine, or from their own bookmarks/favourites, or from links in e-mails will see proper navigation links).  More optimisation work is in progress.  I also added sitemeter facilities to all pages, so I (and you if you are interested) can see the patterns of use of this site.
 
6.  I have added lots more little extras.  See the news archive for the list of most significant items.
 
Many of these improvements have only been possible due to feedback from users.  Please keep your ideas coming.   In particular, let me know what you would like to see added and/or improved on the site.
 

Regards
