Image: What's OnSummer is the busiest time of year for The LINC team, here's a couple of things we've been working on at LINC Online.

What’s On
The basic set up for our summer What’s On guide is up and running. So far, you can view summer activities by month for July and August, and by week (and even day) for anything happening in July.

From Monday, you’ll also be able to view August’s activities by week and day as well. There’s a fair few activities already in the What’s On guide, but we’ve got a whole load more that we’ll be adding soon.

Plings
Plings is just another way that you can view what’s happening in Wigan Borough this summer. All the info will be based on another website that is currently being set up. We’ve spent about 18 hours this week getting all the info together for Plings, and we’ve still got a bit left to do, so as soon as that’s done, we’ll share it with you.

Haigh Fest and Tuned-In Concerts
We’ve been trying our best to get as much coverage from Haigh Fest 2010 and the Wigan Life Tuned-In concerts online as quickly as we can, but with everything else going on, it’s taking some time.

So far, you can view photo galleries of Tuned-In performances from McFly, N-Dubz & Alesha Dixon, The Saturdays and Ronan Keating and read Mark Yates’ review of the Ronan Keating gig.

On the Haigh Fest front, we’ve added a photo gallery by Mark Haslam, Ross Wright’s review of The Portlands, comments from some of the bands who played, and a new podcast featuring some of your comments on the festival.

We’ve still got a full review of the Haigh Fest and Tuned-In concerts, more photos of Haigh Fest, videos and more comments from bands and fans to come, and we’ll have that up asap.

Cyber safety
You may have already seen our dedicated cyber safety mini-site, which has loads of advice on how to keep yourself safe online, as well as tutorials on how to change your privacy settings on sites like Facebook.

Whilst most of that’s done, we heard this week that Facebook have now added a CEOP app that helps you report anything dodgy you see on the site. We’re hoping to take a good look at it and get some info on our cyber safety site asap.

There’s loads more happening on the site right now, and the best way to make sure you never miss any of it, is to follow us on Twitter for the latest updates.
