There was some pleasing news from our Digital Team this week when they revealed that the amount of traffic on the Weekly News website has soared over the last few days and weeks.
The site is updated several times a day with exclusive breaking news, and last Thursday the site was kept busy with regular updates on the flooding, as well as an exclusive gallery of pictures by photographer Gwyn Roberts on the watery chaos in the Conwy Valley.
And our new Urdd Eisteddfod 2008 section is proving very popular. The bilingual section has all the latest news from the Urdd organisers as and when it happens, and is also the home of our weekly Urdd column. The May event is going to be big news in Conwy county this summer, bringing millions of pounds and thousands of people to Penrhyn Bay and the surrounding area - and the Weekly News is going to be at the heart of this amazing cultural event.

I have posted this on the forums too
As a Welshman and a Welsh learner I am really looking forward to the Urdd. But as a walker and one who quietly happily roams our fair county , one question has sprung to mind. I was in the village of Glanwydden and chatted to the friendly people who live there and one thing seemed apparent,. Know one from the County Council or Urdd has contacted any one in the village and the village will be cut off from the rest of the county for a week. People told me of their fears that they would be stuck unable to go to work in the fear that due to massive amounts of visitors they wont be able to get home
What provision if any has been made for this lovely village???
Who has consulted them??
Every one i met from the local landlord of the pub to the village children seems to more than welcome the event but while our Council leaders are slapping themselves on the back and congratulating themselves on there efforts the people who are most likely to feel the effects of the Eisteddfod will be forgotten
