	Details: I've added a features page with a few articles of interest, I hope to add more over the coming months.
13/10/05 22:50	Title: Massive Update
	Details: I've just finished a HUGE update of the site, the main thing I have tried to do is update all the historical information and change the focus of the site to be Corsham based. I have changed the homepage and left-hand menu to reflect this. Here are some of the major changes:- Map on homepage - a map of Box Hill showing main locations of interest. Burlington photos – added some exclusive photos of the former government war HQ, these can be found on the Burlington page. Burlington directory - on the Burlington page an exclusive phone directory. PNCC – I’ve added a new page on the Primary Network Control Center in Tunnel with exclusive photos. CAD Corsham – I’ve added a new page to sum up the Central Ammunition Depot with links to all the sub-depots. Browns Quarry – I’ve added a Browns Quarry page as this was one of the major Corsham quarries used by the MOD that I was missing. Visits page changes - it's now known as the Location List and doesn't include above ground sites. Location pages - every single location page has been updated so each contains lots of historical detail about each location. Downloads gone - I've removed the download page because it was a bit pointless, all the material from this page is now on the relevent location page. Updated shop page - I've made the shop page more relevant to the underground scene in the South-West. Stopped CD ROM - I seem to have reached saturation with this now and I keep really be assed to send any more so no more CD ROMs. The site has been doing well, I first start this work to update the site at the start of September and since then positive feedback has steadily increased, thanks for your feedback, I don't ignore it, if you think a page is crap I do strive to improve where possible. I would like to thank the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office for allowing us to reproduced Crown Copyright photogrpahs.

20/02/05 23:43	Title: Rate this page feedback
	Details: I've been trying my hardest lately to make sure the every location listed on Nettleden.com has as much information as possible on it's page (as you can see below I have added lots of links and historical data) as part of this I have added a "rate this page" feature to every page on the website. If you think a page is helpful you can rate it as such or if you found the information on the page was poor then you can rate the page poorly. Hopefully this way I will be able to see which pages regular users and people finding the site from search engines find usefull. It will also identify pages which users are unhappy with and I can then work on improving them.
