This, though, makes our NewsBlog database all the  more important, as anyone can explore the background to recent  conservation issues most easily by just going to our database. \u00a0Users  must also remember that the NewsBlog is not an all-encompassing news  history; it is only the IHBC\u2019s own distillation of what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p>Our  superb web managers, Peter Badcock and Joanna Theobald, are working  hard on making the on-line database as useful a tool as possible for our  members and the wider public, so already you can search by date, title  and keyword, but clearly there\u2019s a long way to go yet. \u00a0In the spirit of  voluntary contributions that lies at the heart of the IHBC\u2019s  operations, we\u2019re keen for people to tell us what they think of this  Beta version, so please feed back any comments to me direct at <a title=\"mailto:director@ihbc.org.uk\" href=\"mailto:director@ihbc.org.uk\">director@ihbc.org.uk<\/a> .&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.biz\/News_Archive\/IHBC_NewsBlog_Archive\/Archive.html\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.biz\/News_Archive\/IHBC_NewsBlog_Archive\/Archive.html\">Link  to IHBC NewsBlog Archive<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/news_update.htm\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/news_update.htm\">Link to IHBC NewsBlog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly, IHBC Director, has announced the launch of a \u2018beta\u2019 or test version of a new on-line database of the IHBC\u2019s NewsBlog features, which can be found at http:\/\/www.ihbc.biz\/News_Archive\/IHBC_NewsBlog_Archive\/Archive.html Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: &#8220;This is a substantial development of the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=1122\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1122"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1122\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1123,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1122\/revisions\/1123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
