The site is called Lincolnshire Online and makes use of the "info" top level domain name extension as it does exactly that - provide you will in depth information resources for virtually every place and subject related to Lincolnshire. In addition there's a handy RSS newsfeed for every page enabling people interested in a particular town or village to keep posted via their facourite feedreader.

Interestingly one of the main sections of the site filters the millions of online auction listings at eBay for items relevant to the search subject. For xample a search I carried out for RAF Cranwell (the RAF Officer Training college near Sleaford in Lincolnshire) returned some interesting items all related to RAF Cranwell within two seconds! Again i was able to take a newsfeed from the page to keep myself updated with any "must have" collectables that crop up.

Knowing Lincolnshire quite well, having lived in the county for well over twenty years, I then went on to see what smaller villages had been overlooked on the site and it seems every town and village has a page available, even if the news content is quite minimal on some of them!

Such geographic portals can prove extremely handy tools for local residents or visitors as they draw together a lot of web content in to one location. I found some interesting videos, awesome photos and eyecatching auctions in addition to some excellent news and blog content all within a few minutes compared to some lengthy searches at multiple sites if I were to try and find the same information myself.

The site is clean looking, easy to search and navigate and functioned flawlessly. As a resident of Lincolnshire this site is now firmly bookmarked.
