30 Days

Well, here we are, 30 days out from the debut of Abandoned Rails 3.0, so let's see where we are.
I must say that I have been rather busy with pretty much all aspects of the site. First, I have had many contributors submit new articles and pictures since the debut, so I've been busy adding those to the site. Some of the submitted stuff requires a new format for storing the data (particularly the upcoming timetables), so I've been working on creating the database structure and pages for adding/displaying the new content. Fortunately, the databse design allows easy addition of new content layouts, because I designed it that way. :)
All told, I probably spend a couple of hours a day (5 days a week) on the site now, which is about three times as much as I did before the new website release. But I enjoy every minute of it, and look forward to where this site will go in the future.
Just for posterity, here are some counts from the database:
Articles: 313
Pictures: 1,392
Railroads: 412
Needless to say, the amount of content is already pretty large, and is growing day by day.
