Your guide is a bit surprised to find herself cited in a Canwest news story late this evening at canada.com. This was a nice boost to receive after a pretty intensive chunk of work over the last two weeks getting ready for the by-elections.

The web-site has now been linked to by a number of bloggers (left-left-left, centre-centre, right, and independent), as well as one of the top news aggregators, National Newswatch. Which means hopefully the guide is useful to its readers, and is seen as a trustworthy and non-partisan source of spin-free elections data.

I've also just updated the site's look, courtesy of the artwork graciously supplied by a talented young web designer, Mark Rogers. Mark has also cleaned up a lot of the logo graphics used in different spots around the site. I'm really grateful for his contribution, which has given the guide a much more professional appearance. Thanks Mark!
