A couple updates to the tool this week that I thought I'd share.

The main front page now loads with an abbreviated view so that it is less cluttered. This should also help with performance. If you click on the numbers in that UI the map will zoom in and, when you get to the appropriate level, you will see the individual site icons to click on.



On that main screen there is also a set of links that allows you to browse the sites by region so if you prefer text browsing (or are on a UI that doesn't support Gmaps) you can still get into the data. I need to do a somewhat better job with organizing that data on the browse page but it is there.

Also, if you click on the icon on the main screen you're now taken to a site details page.



As you can see the details from UNESCO as well as any notes or links from members who have visited and noted that visit as public will be shared on the site page. A bit of member-based reviews of the sites in addition to the UNESCO data.

Oh, and I fixed a bug in the member stats data where it was mis-reporting visits in the past 12 months.
