Post details: Natural England website spurns former English Nature data


Natural England website spurns former English Nature data
Permalink

Oh dear - a bit of a cock-up on the technical front over at Natural England.

Natural England: broken?
All former English Nature web pages now look like this

[More:]

Their predecessor authority, English Nature, had such a formidable array of data on its website that NE have yet to get around to assimilating it all onto their own. So they provide a slightly inelegant gateway method which allows anyone browsing former EN pages to see them wearing a skimpy Natural England disguise, but otherwise more or less unchanged. Given the recent troubles at that body it's hard to see anyone wanting to change this clunky but eminently sensible workaround.

Until now, that is - it appears that there's some trouble over at the NE website, but oddly enough, it only affects the former English Nature pages - arguably the most useful ones there. Odd. NE says:

"The content on this website is currently unavailable due to a technical fault."

Let's hope it's soon fixed! Check here to see: if this link works, it's fixed.

Why not build out further the old website with a new and better desig on the menus and all new pages included.

The Ranger's Blog

The thoughts and writings of The Virtual Ranger, since 1995 the host and mascot of Naturenet, the UK's most popular independent environmental website; along with interjections from his real-life alter ego, Matthew Chatfield, and others. Featuring not only Naturenet and countryside related stuff, but, as on Naturenet, plenty of other material - more or less at random - that takes The Ranger's fancy. But you can be confident that soon enough he'll be rather sarcastic.
