What's new?
Some of the latest modifications and additions are listed below.
Here is what I have been working on, for the past 365 days:
- January 21, 2010 - I made quite a few corrections to the
Coin Collectors Database
- January 13, 2010 - I updated a few pictures and descriptions of coins, as I am
trying to build a high-quality resource for euro coins. I also fixed a few error that made several webpages inaccessible
and I made the columns in the Links Section sortable.
- January 12, 2010 - I added quite a few more
euro coin mintages.
- January 11, 2010 - Although I have not being posting anything in this page,
I am always updating the site. For the past few days, I am trying to optimize the site for mobile devices and the
results so far have been quite rewarding.
- November 11, 2009 - I made several modifications to euro coin pages and
added 2 more Greek coins and Blisters.
- November 9, 2009 - The Vatican euro
coins are now included in the site. This required quite a lot of work, because they contain 3 different designs.
- October 16, 2009 - I corrected the
euro coin mintages page and added quite a few more mintages.
- October 8, 2009 - I updated the
visitor statistics.
- September 29, 2009 - I updated the webpage about the
Sanmarinese euro coins and as a result, a number of
other pages were updated as well (eg. the webpage with the
rare euro coins and the
euro mintages.
- September 28, 2009 - I added a new button at the top of every page,
that allows the visitors of this site to quickly share a story on the site with friends in a variety of
social networking sites (eg Facebook, digg, stumble upon etc).
- September 5, 2009 - I installed a new version of the forum with
much improved characteristics. I hope that this will help in gaining mommentum there.
- July 10, 2009 - I completely updated the Sitemap
of the site.
- March 10, 2009 - I listed 3 more Greek coins in the
Greek currency section.
- March 9, 2009 - Following a visitor's suggestion, I refined the
RSS feeds featuring new product in the coin shop. Now you can select which kind
of products (single coins, sets etc) you would like to subscribe to.
- February 26, 2009 - Exciting news! I changed completely two webpages moving the
content to a database. As a result, the Coin Collecting Dictionary and
the World Currencies are much easier to use and includ a touch of
AJAX to spice things up!
- February 25, 2009 - This is a follow up on the previous entry. Today I
finally did it! My site is first on google when searching for the term "euro coin shop". I never thought
this day would come, but it did! I couldn't be any happier...
- February 18, 2009 - I am quite happy today, because I did a major
redesign of the site. Altough you cannot tell because there only minor visible changes to the end user,
the new design aims at positioning the site in the search engine results.
- February 5, 2009 - I just created a
Facebook Group called
Coin Collectors United, which will hopefully become a new meeting place for coin collectors.
- February 5, 2009 - Long time - no see? Not exactly. Although I have not been
adding many webpages recently, I am adding coins to the database and since this includes full specifications (diameter,
thickness, weight, composition etc), a high resolution photo and a detailed description of the main theme, I guess
it qualifies as new content.
- January 23, 2009 - I updated a lot of coin images with higher resolution ones.
- January 21, 2009 - I did quite a few modifications to the Coin Shop section and
I am ready to roll out a 'Frequently Buyer Program' or "Loyalty Program', with better prices for loyal customers.
- January 20, 2009 - I found and corrected a bunch of small errors throughout the
site.
