Geoff writes: we spent the day working on various bits and pieces. Amongst other things, we’ve made a number of changes to the blog, as follows:

a) The external page where ‘our XC flights’ were located has been moved into the blog, and linked from the tabs at the top.

b) We’ve created a new page, ‘articles’, which stores some of the various flying-related articles we’ve written. Again, see the tabs at the top.

c) We’ve created a twitter feed into the sidebar menu to the right. This will be used exclusively for information from flying sites, usually during competitions, e.g. updates on the site the comp is going to, what the task is, etc. Obviously, whilst we’re actually flying, there won’t be any updates. (We were playing with twitter as an alternative to the 3Jam we used to use for text notifications, but our thanks to Jamie Sheldon, http://naughtylawyertravels.blogspot.com/,  for the idea to incorporate it here).

d) As part of all the above, we’ve reorganised the sidebar, and made it a bit simpler.

We still have to do some work on getting RSS feeds just for the podcasts, so that people know when new ones are published (we’ve plenty more in the pipeline to add to the 12 already there) – thanks to Tim Pentreath for his ideas and advice on this, we hope to sort it out shortly. Paid work got in the way a bit!
