Finished with removing old/dead website links

I've gone through and removed the listings with old, changed or broken website links. There are a few I left as I suspect their servers were just temporarily down - I'll recheck those soon.

If your listing was deleted, please just resubmit a new breeder listing and I'll gladly put you back in!

I've seen some really nice websites come through our directory - the quality of breeders' websites has been really improving over the last year! This is great news for those of us working on building an extensive web network; well-made, content-rich websites generally do well with the search engines out there. I'd like to see all rabbit and cavy breeders well-represented on the web!

Gradual improvements to The Rabbit & Cavy Directory continue.......due to rapid growth, I've now finished breaking down the alphabetic group rabbitry and caviary pages into individual pages, and I've also finished and published the individual state/country pages. These changes allow for faster-loading pages, plus more precise results in the search engines.

My next project will be the most time consuming - and will probably take me throughout winter to complete; optimizing all the breed gallery pages. Almost all these pages are just too large - I'll probably make all the pictures into thumbnails to save loading time, plus re-organize the information on each page. Of course, I'll need to verify that all the breed info is current - I suspect some of it is now outdated, such as club secretary info and more.

While I work on each breed, I'll also add new pictures. Believe me, I've got many pictures that have been sent to me over the past year, that I haven't had time to put in to the breed pages!

Well,,, thanks for your patience while I continue to make changes and improvements to our directory!
