Incremental Progress

If you've been looking closely, there's been a collection of small, incremental changes to the site.

First of all, there's now a view counter at the bottom of each of the major pages (mountains, roads, routes, and trip reports). I added it to give a bit more feedback to people who do submit trip reports and other items (please do!). A thumbs up/thumbs down feature is also in the queue.

Also in this theme, there's a few "sharing" buttons at the head of each article as well, which make it easier to e-mail, print, tweet, etc. articles. It was easy to do, and hopefully will encourage writers as well.

Finally, there's a batch process that's been running for almost a week now that's querying the Google Elevation API for the approximate heights of all the mountains in the database. It's been running about five days now (Google has usage limits on the Elevation API) and is about 2/3rds done.

I'm mountain biking this weekend (Nimby Fifty!), but when I come back, I'll start uploading some of the local mountain bike trails...
