I sleep all winter

Now is the time of year when most people seem to think I spend my time sunning myself on a beach. I wish. 
Although there's not much festie news at this time of year, now is when lots of little bits and pieces on the website get improvements made to them, the company accounts gets sorted out, deals are made for next year, new servers are installed or upgraded, etc, etc, etc - it all takes time, and normally more time than I think it will (hence me asking for a php programmer to help me out with some stuff).
The most recent additions/changes/upgrades on eFestivals are:-
- the latest version of the chatroom software has been installed.
- an upgrade to the line-ups software, to make it nicer to use.
- several upgrades to the festivals listings, to make it nicer to use, more searchable, and to display some confirmed line-up info. There's still much more to add on this, time depending (I've moved onto other things for the moment).
Several other projects have been started too, rather stupidly. They've taken more time to get part way than I expected them to take in total. For the moment, I've put these to the side.
Coming very soon by the looks of things is a major-ish upgrade to the forums, member galleries and blogs ... when the new software for these things is released, there's some other tweaks for the forums planned, but you'll have to wait and see what exactly.
And of course, there's eGigs to develop and upgrade too - and with that now having the staffing levels it needs (and having more gig reviews than any other UK website some weeks 
), the time has very nearly come to properly promote eGigs on eFestivals - I didn't feel it was worth doing until eGigs was actually of a standard that people would want to revisit ... with the hit stats now starting to climb, as soon as a few minor-ish improvements have been made it'll be done.
