I nominated my web site alst year but the judges chose not to give an award.....I have an average weekly hit of 45,000 on my home page and this translates into just on 5000 regular weekly reader which is more than one of my three local weekly newspapers. I have a blog, a daily diary, a virtual surgery section (a first), a debating chamber, RSS, a breaking national news and a breaking local news section; the site is updated about 4 times a day by me, a photo gallery for press needs, a record of action in each parish, a record of what I am doing for each major issue in my constituency, links to local and national web sites, maps of the patch, and so on. derek wyatt
