but shrunk in the wash.

This blog presents tiny snippets of Thanet information that might not make it to the bigger stories covered on the main page. Matt B will happily microblog about any Thanet blog whose author comments on any item here at The Thanet Star.

There is a known bug with the Thanet Directory where the category links are not working. This is a fault with the URL parser / builder which doesn't cope well with custom language keys. I did not write it and I am working on a replacement. Everything else should be fully operational.
I've been adding new items to the Directory of Everything in Thanet. Keep the reviews and votes coming in and I'll keep adding items. Message me if you want something added that's not already there.
I've been working on this for a while and now here it is The Thanet Directory. It's a work in progress that you can add to.
