Barnsley Links: About

The Barnsley Links website was made in and is maintained in Barnsley. The idea behind it was to collect together all the known websites that have a Barnsley connection to create a portal to Barnsley. Here is a brief history...

2002 OCTOBER
Barnsley Links v.1 began life as part of a Barnsley College course in Web Page Design run by Mark Stuart. Initially it was hosted on part of another website

2004 JULY
Barnsley Links v.2 moved onto a website of its own using free webspace provided by www.portland.co.uk . This website was limited in bandwidth, webspace and did not allow the use of PHP scripts.

2005 APRIL
The www.barnsleylinks.co.uk domain name was purchased and registered via www.123-reg.co.uk.

2005 APRIL
Barnsley Links v.3 was uploaded when 50Mb of webspace was purchased and the entire site including domain name transfered over to www.streamlinenet.co.uk. This allows the use of PHP scripts and unlimited bandwidth.

2007 APRIL
Barnsley Links v.4 was uploaded. The entire site was overhauled and includes statistics provided by www.statcounter.com. The webspace is currently 150Mb.

2007 DECEMBER
Barnsley Links now features over 1500 Barnsley-related websites.
