Still to do

Things still on the list...

1. Review engine
2. Actually writing some of the content.. There's a lot of blank pages on there at the moment
3. Find.. To allow users to find gear, resorts etc based on their criteria.. This needs an XML generating aspx page that effectively builds a huge XML representation of the site (including the data files) so that search criteria can be presented to the users dynamically based by what info is in the data files and then data files can be located based upon the values picked by the user..
4. The idea is to have the XML aspx page heavily cached so that it's like a regularly updated index... We'll have to see how it works out..
5. Advertising

Thoughts from others would be most gratefully received

Christmas Dev

Over the festive period I've put in a few hours. Here's what's been added:

1. Added gear content structure.
2. Removed nasty error: display on the production system. (I'd forgotten to deploy the dll for snowMAD)
3. Added a page called sitemap.aspx. This page dumps out all the nodes in the site structure dynamically. With certain parameters it's also used to feed the google sitemaps programme with the correctly formatted site map xml. Can be found at www.SnowMAD.co.uk/sitemap.aspx.
4. Added a bravenet free forum. can be found at http://pub6.bravenet.com/forum/468183105/
5. Added a link to do a price check on froogle on the gear xslt. (Needs more work. Currently provides two checks 1. from the name tag and 2 from the parent foldername which is displayed within a span on the page. [javascript on the button looks up the span innerHTML and passes that as the product name parameter to froogle] Found www.Kelkoo.co.uk had no skis so went with froogle.
6. Kept trying to get listed on google.. Arrgh. The logs are showing that googlebot's visiting but I'm not getting listed. The sitemaps page states "Data is not currently available. Please check back later for statistics about your site. " This is going to start being a problem. I've got listings on MSN and Yahoo at least:
