Some Site and Forum Updates

Taken from the IceInSpace front-page news

<P>Hi all.</P>
<P>Time to let you know about some updates I've made to the site&nbsp;over the past 2 days:</P>
<UL>
<LI>I've added a new project, the <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?finder">Illuminated Finder</A>, to solve the problem of dark crosshairs on a dark sky.</LI>
<LI>I've added some new images - 3 new <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?planets">Planet</A> images featuring Jupiter and Saturn, 4 new <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?sun">Sun</A> images featuring the massive sunspot AR720, and 2 new <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?otherastro">Other Astro</A> images featuring the Venus and Mercury conjunction.</LI>
<LI>I've added some new mini-projects to the <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?basemods">Dob Base Mods</A> section, including slew knobs and carry handles.</LI>
<LI>I've added 2 new clubs (NAS, IAS) to the <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?club_listing">Club Listing</A> page (<A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?contact">contact me</A> if you want your club &amp; info&nbsp;added!)</LI>
<LI>I've added the New Zealand Astrophotography Workshop to the <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?club_events">Upcoming Events</A> page (contact me if you want your upcoming event added!)</LI>
<LI>I've added a new <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?observatories">Observatories</A> sub-menu to the Astronomy in the Community category (contact me to get your observatory added!)</LI>
<LI>I've added a new <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?resources">Resources</A> menu, with sub-menus (so far) for How-To articles, Files library and Glossary. I need your help with content, please contribute articles, files etc for this section.</LI></UL>
<P>In other news, the <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/?forum">IceInSpace Forums</A> have really been growing! We've reached and surpassed the milestone of 100 forum members (112 members at time of writing), there's over 500 threads and almost 5000 posts. Word of mouth is starting to spread the news, and there's many more guests visiting every day which is great to see.</P>
<P>Of course there's still room for more, so please, head on over to the forums and sign up (it's fast and free!), and start joining in the discussions with the many other regulars who now call IceInSpace home.</P>
<P>Also in a slight rejiggyment of the forum structure, the "Tips and Techniques" forum has been renamed to "Tips, Techniques, Software and Computers", and there's new forum "Cameras&nbsp;and Photography" for all camera discussions and a place to post your terrestrial photography. </P>
<P>Please check out the <A href="http://www.iceinspace.com/forum">IceInSpace Forums</A> and see what all the fuss is about.</P>

I would love to see some stats on posts per hour of the day, I'm sure the majority happen during business hours

Mike,

I should have the Glossary ready for you in a day or two.

How would you like it sent? As an attachment on email?
