As a local though we can pick up these changes a lot quicker than travel guides that aren't locally written and guides that feature tons of destinations. At the moment with 33 guides for Leeds, this is easier to manage, but as time goes on and more content is added it'll be difficult. This is why I am working on the next stage of the site which will be to create a community so locals can also edit the guides (with moderation) and report out of date content. We've already had to update a number of guides, i.e. Border's bookshops closed down most of their UK branches so any guides affected were amended. Thankfully WordPress is such a great CMS system that we can easily find keywords within every single guide to help us highlight the guides that need amending and flag them up.
