WebUser rating and our response

WE WERE RECENTLY reviewed by the well-respected internet magazine WebUser.co.uk, who gave us a 3* rating for our "novel idea" but also presented us with some problems.
A map was described as a "logical addition", and our site having "jus[t] enough information to get the message across".

Well, we're not a group to criticise anyone; indeed we acknowledge our website's earlier problems and are grateful for their review. And indeed, we have now added our first beta map, using a Google Map widget. You can also link to our Google Map page for a full sized version.

We're also rescripting other parts of our site. We don't want it to appear complex and dense, so we're simplifying it and making it less wordy.

In other news, our new Facebook page is up and running with all of their new features including our stream and wall, and we have opened a discussion on what new features you would like to see on the website. Twitter is also getting quite a bit more use as our Book moves on.

And this, of course brings us to our most importnat update: our Book is, at the time of writing, off to its 5th destination.

Stay tuned for more news!
