Merry Xmas from Films on Freeview!

It's that special time of year when there are loads of good films on, so don't forget where to come. Tell your family too, make sure they don't miss out on those hidden gems! We wish Happy Christmas and a hungover New Year to all our visitors. Ho ho ho!

Couple of updates...

So, today there's been an addition to the site: Week at a Glance, which provides a plain text listing so you can have a quick look at all the upcoming films on one page. We know it's all well and good checking out the highest rated movies, but sometimes that trashy action flick you always wanted to see can slip by unnoticed. Well not any more!

A long-awaited update also took place today to try and make the site more cross-browser compatible. It always functioned in Internet Explorer, but the top banner did look a bit odd. Reflections for movie art seem to be working in IE as well. Apologies for the inconvenience, but we're long-term Opera users here at FoF Towers, and browser compatibility is such a sticky (and not very fun!) subject.

Much more to come!

Progress on the site has been on hold for a few weeks while I settle in to a new job, but I'm hoping to get some spare time soon. First on the list is search engine optimization, because we're only getting about 10 hits a day at the moment, and I think we can do better!

An upcoming feature is RSS feeds - we'll have daily and weekly feeds so the best films will come straight to your reader. The front page will be getting an overhaul to be more useful, and a new logo could be round the corner thanks to an outside contributor. More on that soon I'm sure.

Finally for now, we're aware that the site works well in Firefox and Opera, but doesn't appear correctly in Internet Explorer or the excellent new Google Chrome browser, so we'll be addressing these compatibility issues as soon as we have enough visitors to warrant it! Only joking, it's definitely an important issue for the near future.

Site progressing nicely!

Box art images are finally working, little bugs have been fixed, and the business cards have been ordered, so it's full steam ahead for FoF. We have lots of fixes and planned features coming up, so watch this space and watch some great films! Tell your friends, link to us on your blog, get the word out and we'll keep getting better. Drop us a line with ideas, comments, anything.

FoF now in testing phase!

After a good while in offline development, FilmsonFreeview.com is now online to a select bunch of individuals. These include the two people who've heard about it, and Google bots. You are all most welcome!

The site will be undergoing many changes in the coming days to make it much more useable for real people, and to fix some teething troubles. Onwards and upwards!
