Inspired by robots.txt Adventure, have looked over the robots.txt files on my sites and sprinkled a few custom lines around, as well as housekeeping the current text (see also).
24/8/07
Now that I've moved house, I can get a few more updates in, hopefully.
Added some additional terms to the Laser 2 Glossary pages following analysis of my search logs.
18/6/07
Gnome gallery pages updated to use the jardAlbum and lightbox script.
Small bugfixes to the jardAlbum scripts and minor version number bump.
18/4/07
Family pages updated to use the same lightbox script.
jardSuite jardSubs updated to 0.5b to resolve a couple of small compatibility problems (AvantGo I'm looking at you here).
3/2/07
Inspired by Fun With HTTP Headers, have sprinkled custom HTTP headers throughout various parts of the sites (though not the home pages yet, so I wouldn't have been caught by his survey.
Image gallery pages updated for Ajax and Lightbox (only for logged in users, and not the Gnome ones yet).
Small correctness update to the (now defunct) SWG Animal Resource Calculator, now at version 1.45d.
17/1/07
Ran various Javascript scripts through the JS Lint and caught quite a few errors I should have noticed before. Improved Kbase login experience, especially login from RSS link.

About page rejigged, as most of the 'How this site was created' section is horrifically out of date, most of the old version is archived on the 2006 pages.

Happy New Year!
Implemented un-delete (admins only) in Kbase (about time, I hear you cry). 'Twas easier than I'd initially thought (thanks mainly to forward-thinking in the delete set up). Who knows why I took so long to get around to it. Further microformat work on KBase, now marks up the author's info as an hCard. Couple of other general code tidy-ups and minor changes in the jardSuite subs. Moved some of the list view initial display server-side (away from javascript, where it was a whole load of looping through the DOM and making lots of changes, to server-side, where its just changing one variable) and 'prettified' list-view twisties. Updated CSS file for Kbase.

How this site was created

jard.co.uk is part of the jard network. The jard network (jard.co.uk and jardMail.co.uk) is owned, created and designed by James Blatchford. Also affiliated with the jard network, but not necessarily part of it are BlokeAtBack and GAThrawn's blogs, these may come under the jard umbrella at some point in the future.

All xHTML and HTML documents, CSS Style Sheets, JavaScript source files, Perl and CGI code in this site were created and edited by hand. Most pages have been fully validated and conform to the relevant standards.

Development and testing were carried out with the help of the (at the time) current versions of various web browsers including Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla SeaMonkey, Opera (and Opera Mini) and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The (various) test servers are running versions of the Apache Server. Adverts on this site and others in the jard network provided by Google Adsense.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone for their help, encouragement, criticism, ideas, whatever...
