Here's and end of month update, some extra gigs have come in and also I've made quite a few upgrades to the infrastructure of my website. * Site News * You may have noticed that there was a link "news page" to a news page on the home page of the blues section of my website, if you ever followed this you will have noticed that the last update was in 2003! This old page was built by hand and even though there have been many improvements and updates to the site since 2003 I never had the time to keep note of them on this old page. Enter the new news page system. http://webplus.broad.ology.org.uk/news.php This one is database driven and will be much easier to maintain. Some things (such as new additions to the giglist) are automated so I don't need to worry about adding the same info twice. There's a latest news panel in the home page of overall site which shows the most recent article. Also you can subscribe by RSS by clicking on the orange RSS icon on the main RSS page. Here's a direct link to the RSS feed http://webplus.broad.ology.org.uk/newsrss.php or http://feeds.feedburner.com/broadbluesnews for a prettified version. Along with the news system comes a Blog page for longer articles, they will be mainly blues related but I may post on any subject so take a look from time to time to see what I'm ranting about! These mails will be automatically posted to the blog page, with any links etc. converted into proper checkable links . Again there is a RSS feed. http://webplus.broad.ology.org.uk/blog.php http://webplus.broad.ology.org.uk/blogrss.php http://feeds.feedburner.com/BroadOlogyBlog * Gigs * A couple of interesting gigs have come in during the last couple of weeks so here's a quick update.
