The 6,000th entry was KFL Supermarket. Thanks to chloworm for adding this one, and many other entries in Australia.
We've imported yet another MFA regional veg site, VegNJ.com. This added several hundred new entries throughout New Jersey.
As you might have noticed, we have a brand new logo for the site. As part of integrating it, I've also tweaked the front page a fair bit, and adjusted various colors around the site so they match the colors in the logo.
Many people have commented how much they disliked the old logo (which was always just a placeholder). Thanks to Derek Coons of MFA for working with the designer.
This is the last Mercy For Animals' veg site to import, and doing so adds another couple hundred entries. Thanks, MFA!
As part of the ongoing work to import all of the data on Mercy For Animals' various veg sites, we've now imported all of their data from VegIllinois.com. This adds several hundred new entries in Illinois.
Mercy for Animals has been a co-sponsor of the VegGuide.Org project since earlier this year. One of the first things we started working on together was importing the data from their veg state/city sites like VegOhio.
This all got very delayed by the server problems earlier this year, but I finally made the first data feed import live, from their VegOhio.com site. This adds 262 new entries to the guide, greatly improving our coverage for Ohio.
Thanks to Derek Coons of MFA for working with me on this.
As someone who has done a fair bit of traveling, I've always wanted to have listings for airports in the guide. I finally got around to making a few backend changes needed to cleanly support this, and here they are.
Please feel free to add any airports you know about. Please follow the existing naming convention of "ABC - Airport Name", since the three letter code is a quick way to uniquely find and sort airports.
Many times over the years folks have noted that the entry listings, when sorted by name, sort things like "The Vegetarian" under "T" rather than "V".
This has finally been fixed! Entries starting with "A ..." or "The ..." will be sorted ignoring that prefix. The only downside is this could in theory be wrong for certain languages, notably French, where "A ..." might be the beginning of something like "A tout le monde".
If you notice any weirdness, please let me know.
Well, we finally figured out the problem with our Xen setup at Xmission, and the guide has now moved back to the colo. For the last few months, it was running off of a VMWare image on my desktop, which is about the most ridiculous thing ever.
You can now use your OpenID URL to login. However, you'll first need to edit your account and associate that URL with your account. Click on "My account" up top and then click on the "Edit" button.
I still need to make it possible to create a new account with an OpenID and no password though.
