Dear ExplorOz Reader,
Since last
fortnight, we've made some visual and structural changes to the site. We
highlight the changes throughout the newsletter but the most obvious of all is that the home page
has been completely transformed into a fully dynamic page which changes
throughout the day based on visitor activity.
It's all designed to give you ease of access and show you at a glance
what parts of the site everyone else is using.
| New Trek Note -
Wilbinga - WA
|
|
Close to Perth, Wilbinga
is the ideal day trip. Suitable to any level of experience from beginner
to expert, its the closest beach driving trek to Perth. This trek note
was put together by Jackie and Juliana after a great day out on a recentExplorOz
Members Gathering.

In the site menu, you'll see that
Business Search has been renamed Directory
and it's been completely redesigned. |
Changes
are: search functions have been significantly improved, not
just with a new look and feel but also with a better method. Search
results are now truly ranked by relevance to a keyword or search string
and once you've made a selection from a list, you'll go to the
Advertiser's very own ExplorOz page. At a glance you'll quickly see what
products and services they offer and precisely where they operate. Each
Advertiser's page will also give links to related pages on ExplorOz
where you can read unbiased articles before you buy, and where relevant,
view other similar retailers or manufacturers. You
can also view the top keywords used by site users - this is accessible
from both the Home Page, and the Directory page - results are live, and
aggregated across the month.
