June to September 2003

• 18th June: The site passes the 7,000 visitors mark, 38 days after reaching 6,000. This is the first increase in the number days for a thousand visitors. The early part of June has been bad, but things are picking up again.
• 3rd July: The inter-season lull continues, with visitors running between one and two thirds of their normal levels. It is hoped that numbers will pick up again once the football seaon resumes. No further updates to the site are planned until October.
• 24th July: The site passes the 8,000 visitors mark, 36 days after reaching 7,000.
  • Work continues offline on the site, as server uploads will be impossible until October.
  • A number of pages are updated, most notably the Ryman League feeders page. This follows an email from the vice-chairman of one of the feeder leagues, which reveals that the feeder situation is more complicated than originally thought.
  • Some of the early history in this site is altered, following the discovery of old files on my computer at home.
  • A hyperlink checking utility is used to find out many league links are still valid. Although the number seemed quite small, most failures were due to one website no longer being operational. Otherwise, the percentage of broken links was very small (around 3%). These broken links are either replaced or removed.

• 16th September: The site records its 10,000th visitor, just 22 days after reaching 9,000 visitors. This takes four days off the previous record for 1,000 visitors.
