Hello,

I've been doing some rearranging and a bit of slimming down to the home page - you can see a screenshot of it here:

http://www.fetcheveryone.com/new_homepage_screenshot.jpg

Things:

1) The whole thing looks a bit red, because of the two Santander ads. It's not so red otherwise :-) Also worth remembering that on most screens, you'll only see down to the top of Marigold's head, until you page down.

2) The nicest new addition is the route pic, which will change daily - so get uploading your pics from your runs (NB you are allowed to stop, otherwise they're a bit blurry). I've definitely got some prizes to give out next month, just waiting to hear back from a few more peeps.

3) There's a form for searching races on the home page now. Even excluding parkruns, we have 500 more forthcoming races in our listings compared to RW. I think that's worth shouting about.

4) I've trimmed out the 'update your status' thing. You can still find it on your user profile.

5) I took out the Twitter box. If you want to see what I'm saying on Twitter, follow me on Twitter. This is Fetch. (Raaar).

6) There's a daily running mileage box, for all of us. Just a bit of fun, and a record to beat.

7) Generally I think it all looks a bit tidier. The bottom edge just above "Things we saw today" is a bit raggedy, but I'll see what I can do about that.

So there. What do you think?

Wouldn't the route pic be a bit dangerous? I nearly uploaded a pic of me post sea sickness as my blog / route pic for the Scottish Islands Peaks Race. That would have made Fetch homepage NSFW! :-) G

By the way, it all looks very neat and tidy and in all other ways wonderful.
