UKWRS Report for September

«

»

In last month’s blog about the UK Waterways Site Ranking scores I promised a mention of the latest Forum to be logged on the site after things had settled down.

I was waiting until Tony Blews has clarified the rules for using the site to ensure a level playing field in comparing the Forums.

Tony also added a new category for Forums which has three members and here they are

2

The first graph shows the JustCanals Forum, the first to appear on the UKWRS site. There was a peak in January, when it snowed a lot a people were "working at home" but otherwise it’s an unremarkable year.

The second graph shows a new forum created for Ex Ownerships members. This is the newest to be added to the UKWRS site. Its title limits the potential membership and time will tell where it settles down.

4

The final graph shows the Canal World Forum. Initially at a low level then, following an upgrade of the site, a dramatic peak going off the scale and causing Tony to clarify the UKWRS rules.

Falling quickly into line with the new rules this site has settled down to become the highest scoring site.

Remembering that these Forums are the combined publishing resources of all their members it’s unfair to compare them directly with sites like Jim Shead’s, created by one person.

Gypsy Rover

«

Passing Ansty Today, as we headed northwards filming the Oxford Canal, a familiar looking boat approached and the steerer shouted "Hello Paul".

It was Gypsy Rover’s new owner, taking over from Derek & Dot who are still managing a little cruising with help from their friends.

We didn’t stop, as we were filming in the limited sunshine. Hopefully we can meet again later.

Waiting for Sunshine

«

»

We’re heading back to Birmingham, filming the Oxford Canal as we head northwards, when the weather permits.

Sunshine is forecast for tomorrow so we are hoping to make it to Banbury where we can exchange crews at the station. Andrew and Megan can head back north and Susan can join us for the next leg of the cruise.

And we can visit the shops for more supplies.

UK Waterways Ranking Site Scores – September 2010

«

»

There’s two graphs to study this month.

Heth, from Takey Tezey, which isn’t a spelling mistake, left a comment a few days ago and, as with anyone who comments or asks, there’s a chance to see your own scores.

Tekey Tezey has shown a confident rise in support during the last nine moths. I hope they can keep it up. It’s always harder to attract visitors to a site in the winter.

Last month I mentioned the Canal Shop Company entering the site. Now we can show a month’s progress and that looks good too.

If you’ve looked at Tony’s UK Waterways Site Ranking recently you will have seen a change at the top.

I’ve been recording this and have exchanged a few emails with Tony. I’ll comment next month when the position is clearer.
