New Website
Well, the long toil is almost over!
Every spare evening or few hours over the past two months has been consumed by the building of version 2 of Curly's Corner Shop, and at long last the task is almost complete. My website will grow from 10 to 16 pages and the content richness will improve dramatically. The overall look and feel of the site will also change, and I hope, navigation will be a lot simpler.
All in all, considering that seven months ago I had never imagined having my own website, I'm quite pleased with this second design. Simplistic, clean, more informative and user friendly. I will apply the final touches this evening (a final spell check, meta tags, key words etc) and close down the current version. May I, at this point, say a big thank you to the 200,000+ visitors who have called into the Corner Shop during the past six months.
However, for the future, you will need to update your browsers with a new "favourite" or "bookmark", because from Saturday 8th. January the URL of Curly's Corner Shop will change to www.south-shields.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk which ought to gain higher rankings from the search engines over the next few months.
New features on the site include additional photo galleries and places to visit in the North-East, what happened in history today, and a games room, as well as links to important sites for downloading free software. There will also be more comprehensive links to information about South Shields and a timeline history of the town. I hope you will all like it, please send your comments to south-shields@blueyonder.co.uk after the site has gone online.
Happy surfing,
Curly
