New category and a bit of a clean up
I’ve made a few minor changes to Kent Index. We have a new listings category, Things to see and do, under which I have grouped a few other related categories. Please let me know how you get on with this new set-up. I have also begun adding useful information such as how to report potholes, […]

Adding Towns
As part of the ongoing experiment that is Kent Index, we’re going to try and add towns and (eventually) villages for more localised listings. To make this happen I’m going to need some help. While I was always pretty good with IT and computers, geography was not my strongest subject. If I get something wrong, […]
