TGS and MPTables updates

After spending most of the morning fighting with the remaining new extensions to TGS, they're finally done. Now, we just need our design guru to send me the changes in a way which don't suck. You can always tell the bits of design that I do, and the bits that someone else does - my bits look ugly.

Once that's done, I'll probably throw open a competition to do the designs for the logo at the top of the regional sites. At the moment, it's just the bog standard TGS logo, but there should be scope for doing fun stuff - adding a dragon to Wales; a bottle of whiskey to Scotland etc.

I also found out where all the TGS traffic of the last few days has come from. It was mentioned in a sidebar in last Sunday's Observer newspapper, and a large range of organisations have picked up on it. I especially like their comment

Something you can play with now is an addition to mptables.com which I thought would take ages but ended up taking about 15 minutes. MPTables includes a (small) number of data sources, but it would be good for people to be able to include their own data on constituencies and match it against ours. Especially for testing purposes before offering it for inclusion, but more generally as well. Now you can.
