November 2002 to April 2003

  • 14th November 2002: Work begins on an update to the single page structure section, with the current colour coding for each level. It goes through numerous changes before an efficient way of obtaining the desired effect. It allows for leagues down to level 24.
  • 30th November 2002:
    • I add graphics to the site: the title picture, plus graphical links to the three main pages for navigation. The latter proves unsatisfactory, and is dropped.
    • I also sign up to a website promotion scheme. Although unqiue visitors increase 350%, AFS showed that most would spend about 30 seconds on the home page, and then leave. The scheme is later dropped.
  • 1st December 2002: The new colour-scheme is launched, with frames and a toolbar now being used for navigation. In accordance with site hosting rules, a non-frame homepage is made availble.
  • 4th December 2002: A seperate page is added listing feeders to the level 11 Hampshire League, after new feeders cannot be included on the page for the level 8 Wessex League page.
  • 5th December 2002: A seperate page is added listing feeders to the level 11 West Sussex League for similar reasons, splitting it off from the Sussex County League page. The seperate page is later made defunct, and merged back with the original.
  • 9th December 2002: The site passes the 1,000 visitors mark, having taken less than 50 days.
  • 14th January 2003: The site passes the 2,000 visitors mark, 36 days after reaching 1,000
  • 2nd Febuary: The number of recorded leagues is now 274, going down as far as level 20.
  • 5th Febuary: The Essex Intermediate League feeders are spilt off from the Ryman League (Div 2) page. (Both pages are now defunct)
  • 11th Febuary: I make my worse decision yet, and add a marquee in the toolbar listing all the leagues on the site.
  • 15th Febuary: The site passes the 3,000 visitors mark, 32 days after reaching 2,000.
  • 17th March: The site passes the 4,000 visitors mark, 30 days after reaching 3,000
  • 15th April: The site passes the 5,000 visitors mark, 28 days after reaching 4,000
  • 26th April: The seperate main and 'sections' toolbars are mereged, with the marquee dropped. At the same time, all content is re-jigged to work in one frame, making maintainence easier, and improving non-frame access.
