I have implemented a running total of postboxes which if you look closely enough you can see it in the top right hand corner of the site. Every time the page is loaded it gets the total number of postboxes from the PostBoxr database. I am also going to be implementing a scrolling banner of the latest postboxes added.

The silver icon symbolises the PostBoxr database, I think this is more exciting and aesthetically pleasing than just having a plain text running total.

What do you think? Any Suggestions?

Please have a look at the link below it’s a PDF of UK postboxes from Royal Mail. It might help you find or add postboxes near you. Unfortunately the postboxes are listed by their postcode and Royal Mail don’t have longitude and latitude coordinates which I need to add to the PostBoxr database. This was made available under the freedom of information act. To be able to open it you need to have a PDF reader on your computer. Any problems leave a comment and i’ll advise you.
