Webmaster's Page
2011 January 17th 07:35 UTC
Updated several pages. Created a News Archive page for all the news in 2010, this can be reached from links at the top or bottom of the news page. Added the latest News Bulletin letters from the UK section to the Newsletters page. Created a NOTAM page for letters from the President. Currently, this page is not live, as only one NOTAM so far. As new NOTAM's are produced, the older ones will be moved across. Added a AVweb news item to the news page after receiving conformation we are OK to reproduce selected items as long as they are credited, linked back and copyrighted. Changed the width of the main column as some of the more text intensive pages were getting too long to keep scrolling. It also gives additional room on the top bar to add an additional menu link in the future.

All documents now have a issue date, document number and issue number.
