This page provides an easy guide to the pages that have been recently changed as well as a list of items that I am specifically looking for to add to this website. If you can help that would be fantastic!
Any opinion or quote on anything that either is already in the article or that you feel should be will be greatfully received. If you see a page that you know is just begging for one of your pictures from your own tour please drop me an email or consider making a post on the Mailing List so that others can also comment on your thoughts and perhaps enhance them!
Everything I receive is fully credited to the person who provided it along with a link to their website.
The following chart contains a running log of the items that I have added to this website. Over time the oldest entries will disappear as the chart fills up. You can find older items on the What's New - Archival page.

| Email Editor/Contact Us form upgraded and working again! |
Updated the contact/email forms to require a verification code to be typed in at form submission in an attempt to prevent the huge amount of spam that used to arrive from the form. Following the update I turned the Email options back on so if you've been unable to reach me in the past you should once again be able to. |
| BT101 Guestbook upgraded and working again! |
The guestbook reached 8585 entries and unfortunately was becoming hard to manage so I've upgraded it to the latest version and started it back at zero entries. Soon I will update the guestbook to use the same colour scheme etc as the rest of the site. |
