Over the last week, I’ve been adding some new features to the Scheme’s main website - http://www.finds.org.uk - and I hope that these prove to be useful additions. These include:
- New Google map for showing regional recording areas and locations of FLOs
- Upgraded profiles, now showing recording districts, local coroners locations and FLO location, quarterly recording stats and overall periodic statistical breakdowns
- List of coroners offices - useful for Treasure queries
- Created KML files for Coroners and FLOs - please feel free to reuse these!
- Center of map
- FLO
- Finds Liaison Officers
I have plans for expanding the FLO pages, with more statistics and presentations that they give to their local finders, MLA groups and other interested parties. Soon I’ll be adding RSS feeds of their latest finds and adding geoRSS overlays to the maps to give some spatial context. I’m also toying with introducing Wordpress MU for all our staff to write their own blogs if they want to. These posts can then be integrated into our system.
I’m also wondering if the menu system needs overhauling as we’re adding more and more content….. Any comments out there?
