- Fixed a nasty bug in popularity ratings where I had treated recent events as further away in the current year!
- Improved hardness rating algorithm to use whether a dance is first, last, an extra, or starred as hard in a programme. Future work on hardness will try to use MiniCrib to give an initial hardness rating to the less popular dances as they don't appear often enough in dance programmes for the current algorithm to work well.

- We have stopped for the Summer.
Changes 13th May 2008
- The site is on a new server. Better cache control has been implemented to cut down on unnecessary refetches. With the pdf changes last week it should all work much faster, that should complete the tuning for a while.

Changes 8th April 2008

I used to use a background tartan pattern based on the
Berkshire design by Rabbitt Goody but it clashed badly when
I got the right colours for the logo.
