November 2003
- 3rd November: Design a new hompage layout, with a toolbar down the side. The toolbar works on te same basis as the top one. Also move all the links to other sites onto a seperate page.
- 5th November: Visitor number 13,000 arrives, just two weeks after the 12,000th visitor.
- 6th November: Create an additional short league index, which doesn't show every division. The aim to to produce a page which is quicker loading, and easier to use. Also fix bug in homepage that was causeing it display incorrectly.
- 12th November: Create a new section, detailing the restructuring of the pyramid that'll take place after the 2003/4season. Also modify toolbars accordingly.
- 15th November: The page that shows how the top ninel levels of the pyramid will be from the 2005/5 season is made narrower, so that it include the left-hand toolbar.
- 15th November: Visitor number 14,000 arrives, just two weeks after the 13,000th visitor.
- 25th November: I now know that over 50% of the bottom leagues (those shown as having no feeders), are definately so. I only have another 30 to go. I am hampered by a lack of websites for some, and lack of responce form other leagues.
- 26th November: Email a number of county FA secretaries to try and find websites where I know of none. In some cases, I am informed that thereis now website, so I ask for league details. I also put in a meta tag describing the site's contents for the benefit of search engines. (Google, though which the site gets a high proportion of its visitors, is now shoing the contents of these tags).
- 27th November: I email all the league secretaries of the level 8 leagues to confirm their feeder leagues. This follows an email to the Untied Counties league asking for the website a league which proved not exsist! Also tweak homepage, to make latest additions more prominent, and the site's 'mission statement ("Details of the composition....") a bit less obtrusive.
December 2003
- 2nd December: The previous 27 days have seen a record 2,020 visitors.
- 3rd December: Visitor number 15,000 arrives, just two weeks after the 14,000th visitor.
January 2004
- 6th January: Having spent the past few days designing a toolbar for the left-hand side incorprating links to evry page on the side, I then start the long process of implementing it for every page on the site. Like the toolbars before it, it uses Java-script to access a single file for evey page. However, every page must be changed to allow for the new layout. It ishoped that this sidebar will be the lasting way of navigatin the site.
- Visitor 17,000 arrives on the 3rd (17 days after number 16,000), number 18,000 on the 16th, and number 19,000 on the 28th. A new record of just 12 days for 1,000 visitors is set.
- Over the second half of the month, research takes place into the structure of the Womens' Football Pyramid in England.
Febuary 2004
- 2nd Febuary: Women's football pyramid section is made active.
- Visitor number 20,000 arrives on the 11th, 14 days after number 19,000. Will now state only every 5,000th visitor on here.
