• A new References page has been created, and provides links to the many sources I have used in the creation of this site.

• The Geography, Inspiration, and Disclaimer pages have all been updated.

• The forum continues to grow, albeit slowly.  New topics have been added, including a brand new section on cycle routes in Cardiff.

• A total of 35 new images have been added, in addition to new suburb pages.

• The famous Cardiffians page has been updated, with brand new graphics and layout, with many new additions to the list (separate pages for every person are still being worked on)

• Each of the famous Cardiffians profiles have been upgraded to the latest XHTML standards, with new fluid layouts.  This marks the end of converting the site from hugely error ridden HTML 4.01, to error free, Strict XHTML 1.0 - every single page can be checked with W3C standards and will validate perfectly, in addition to perfectly validating CSS 2.1.  I am particularly proud of this accomplishment.

March 2009

• Having spent the last few weeks worth of my spare time on the site, I've been able to do some decent updates.  Many suburb pages have gone online, including Splott, Llanrumney, Pentyrch, Grangetown and Gabalfa. Still more to go, but as there are so few left to do, I've been able to concentrate on bigger updates.
  
  
• As a result, there's a brand new sortable A-Z Image List available, which has finally replaced the old manual search.  More pages are being changed from .html to .shtml and eventually, the old pages will be removed from the site.

Jan. 2009

• A NEW FORUM HAS BEEN ADDED AND ALREADY HAS SOME ACTIVITY ON THE BOARDS.  Please check it out.
  
  
• Work and personal commitments have again prevented me from adding much new content recently.  Every page on my site is already validated to XHTML 1.0 and the latest update of CSS (version 2.1).  This provides cross-browser compatibility and addresses accessibility.  Updates include:
  
  
  • A new site logo in PNG format, which takes advantage of the new opacity abilities in Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3.
    
    
  • New Page Titles, replacing outdated text and instead using bright, clean graphics.
    
    
  • The entire site structure to be reworked to include SSI (Server Side Includes).   Please update your bookmarks.
    
    
  • Brand new multi-level menus using CSS
    
    
• The upgrades will take me about 6 months to complete. Thanks to everyone for all the e-mails over the year.  Every single one has had something positive to say about my site which pleases me no end!

Sept. 2007

• A total of 24 new images were added to the galleries.
  
• This site has been officially recognised in a new book called 'Haunted Cardiff and the Valleys', published by Tempus.  Steve Cluer, Chairman of 'South Wales Paranormal Research', and I collaborated by e-mail to provide some images for his new book, and this site is honoured with a credit in the acknowledgements section. Many thanks Steve - the book's a great read!

July 2007

• New images were added to the Adamsdown, Caerau, and Canton pages.

May 2007

• The site is now just over two years old and this is my first update entry for nine months.  I have been very busy with other things and have as a result left the site unattended for quite some time.  I have created a new site for the Parish of Llantwit Major and Cowbridge, www.westvalecatholics.co.uk and maintain the site as a voluntary contribution.  It is updated every week. 
• Since Internet Explorer 7.0 was released, I have been having problems with my Flash Menus.  New CSS menus have been added, new graphics, and I've got around to doing a contact page.

Aug. 2006

• New page added to the Suburbs section (Cyncoed and Lakeside)
• 19 new images to added to various galleries, with most of them going in the City Centre section, which now has eight pages.
• New photos added to the Coryton and Whitchurch page.
• Added a new biography to the Famous Cardiffians page.
• All main pages rewritten to comply with the HTML 4.01 and CSS WC3 web standards.  I've noticed now with 'validated pages', the site is easier to update and maintain. It will also make search engine robots' jobs easier as they are scanning through clean code.
  
• I have removed the Guestbook due to spamming problems.

June 2006

• More problems with Google indexing the site, so need to learn how to produce clean, efficient code to resolve the issue. 
• The site has now picked up over external 50 links.

May 2006

• Google has dropped the number of pages it indexes on this site from about 60 to just 5! Even without the use of a Site Map, Google had been indexing these pages without a problem since October 2005. I have now created a long overdue XML Sitemap which should resolve this issue.
• The 'Famous' Cardiffians page has been completed and so far has four celebrities listed. 
• Thanks go to those who have e-mailed me, and left in my guestbook, so many kind comments about the site.  I am pleased that people are enjoying my work, including Brian Lee! (Author of 'Cardiff: Those Were The Days' and 'A Cardiff Century' amongst others). 
• The site received over 58,000 hits during April 2006.  The highest since it's launch.

• The homepage has been re-coded slightly to reduce the 'spare junk code' that Microsoft FrontPage seems to enjoy adding in irregular places.

Jan. 2006

• The Timeline page is online, and being added to in chunks, and I have added additional navigation links.

• The new Main Navigation menus have finally been added, and are done in Flash.

Sept. 2005

• After 5 months, the site has finally been indexed by Google, and other search engines for the first time.  I need to brush up on SEO techniques! 
• The A-Z index page is up and running, but the hyperlinks are not yet active.
• I will soon upload a page dedicated to Cardiff's Timeline.  I will not be citing sources at present, but will eventually add a list of the books I used in the process, towards the sites completion.
