Andrew Larcombe asked me by Twitter yesterday for a feed of images from the database for Surrey. This could be reused on the Surrey Archaeology Society website. Andrew has redeveloped their site using Drupal as the content management system, with jQuery as the javascript framework. They have some nice features (flickr feed, presentations on slideshare) and I think that they are one of the more advanced archaeological society websites that I have come across. Well done Andrew…..
I’ve just released a feed that can be configured by county to return the last 25 images, at present it does not contain any descriptive text, would that be useful? Suggestions welcome. If you want to use this feed, you need to go to this url:
