As I mentioned in an earlier article, I’ve improved the page loading times dramatically so that should mean that previous visitors using dialup that found the site slow to use will be happier.

Recent features added:

- I’ve moved the links to a separate links page (on the page menu to the right) - if you find or know of some links to other sites that might be useful to include, let me know on the Add a Link page.

- Mystery Photo page added. If it becomes popular I’ll make it a monthly thing.

I have also considered including a forum, but before I go to the hassle - let me know via the comments if anyone would find this feature useful. Here’s an example forum to look at : Narromine Online Forums.

Finally, there are a reasonable number of visitors each month, many just stumble across it from a Google search, but there are some locals who pop in now and then. So, what about letting me and others know by adding a brief comment or two? Not too much to ask is it?
