SITE DIARY
Kept by Adam while building the site on GeoCities. Reproduced as he wrote it, spelling and all.
| DATE | ENTRY |
|---|---|
| 05/12/98 | Right thats all the bugs gone as far as I can see. All UFO sightings are now divided into pages. |
| 11/11/98 | Oh great chat doesn't work either:( That should be fixed now. |
| 11/11/98 | Agggghhhhh Bugs dson't you just hate em? Well when you submit a report and it has a ' in it screws up!!! Okay looks like validation is more important than I thought. |
| 9/11/98 | What the h*#l!! Today we had over 330 banners displayed on the site. This is amasing and better than I thought thankyou for your support. |
| 1/11/98 | Speeeeeddd freak!!! Notice a speed increase? I hope so it took me 2 days to implement all the graphics have been reduced in size and the awards have been moved to their own page. So it should take less time to load. |
| 28/10/98 | Great we are now online with a new domain name and full ASP support. |
| 20/10/98 | Okay thats everything sorted as far as I can see we have over 70 sightings online and a brand new system for processing them which means jsut one click for me rather than all the copy and pasting. |
| 13/10/98 | Ten months later and the site is totally out of date I've got about 60 sightings waiting to be put online but I need an easier way of putting it online. Roll on ASP. |
| 28/01/98 | I am trying to make the site a little more user friendly and making it look good so be prepared for more changes. Don't forget to tell me what you think. |
| 28/01/98 | The number of UFO sightings has now been brought up to 29. |
| 28/01/98 | Okay so updation has been a little slack but u try doing a job and College leaving one day of the week left. Sorry about this but I am trying. |
| 07/10/97 | We now have 18 Sightings on-line If you know anyone who has seen a UFO then tell them about the site. |
| 06/10/97 | 3000!!!!! We made it. I did not realise I could get this many hits. Thankyou for your support. |
| 25/09/97 | At last I have got my finger out and got on with some of the reviews. The reviews on web sites is now growing and should be a good source of information on the other UFO web sites on the internet. |
| 25/09/97 | UFO Newsletter has had to be stopped due to Philip now not having enough time. If you are interested then contact me by e-mail. |
| 02/09/97 | Oops I forgot to take the disk with the site into College so update is late :-( |
| 01/09/97 | More UFO reports have flooded in and the total sighting reported on-line is now up to 13. |
| 26/07/97 | The menu item graphics look rubbish and so they have been tweaked to get rid of the white blocks around the edge. |
| 23/07/97 | Frames lovers will now be happy we have put a frames version of the reviews section and of the UFO sighting report section. |
| 15/07/97 | Okay now its time to try and do a bit more to my site in the holidays. Now what I want to know is why did no one tell me that 'Being at the top of Yahoo is certainly not lonely.' In the weeks we were at the top of Yahoo we managed to get an average of 300 advert viewing a day! |
| 30/06/97 | In conjunction with AlienB25 we have produced Alien Chat which allows you to chat about UFO related topics. |
| 30/06/97 | If you have got a frames compatible browser you will now see the navigation frame. The frame advertises parts of this site and also allows quick navigation. |
| 30/06/97 | The page is dull and boring so out comes front page again! The updated web page is uploaded which looks 100% different to the first. Is it better or worse mail me and tell me. |
| 28/06/97 | We hit the 100 views count, the question is how many of them was me trying to sort the page out. |
| 08/06/97 | As James Whale was talking about abduction I phoned up and unsuccessfully plugged this site. Maybe we will get a load of users or maybe not you don't know! |
| 08/06/97 | Forms Work!! But they are being e-mailed to me:( |
| 06/06/97 | Place Out of Order sign on the whole point of the web site:( |
| 05/06/97 | BUG:( the return form does not work I hate front Page! |
| 03/06/97 | Placed Counter (Watch that counter go!) |
| 02/06/97 | Started Advertising Campaign |
| 01/06/97 | Put Web Site On-Line |
| 28/05/97 | Completed initial web Page |
