Sweet, sweet organic traffic
Thanks Google! I’ll be adding short description of each Location and assigning a Featured image to help give organic traffic another boost this month.
Here’s the Todo page to see what’s coming up.

Image uploads are go!
You can now upload images directly to the Locations page where you’re seeing a flooded path.
This site is available in both Danish and English but I wanted comments to be shared across both languages. It took some time but after I found the Multilingual Comments WPML (thanks Pieter!) it all fits together nicely!
I’ll add some promient “Upload a photo” buttons to the Map and Locations pages as well as a mobile phone detector to let the site visitor swap between opening the Camera app directly from the webpage or opening their Gallery app.

Sign up for notifications
It’s end user data collection time! I’ve added a notifications form so you can receive a general notice of flooding along Brabrandstien.
When will I be notified?
Currently all the monitored locations have no risk of flooding so all is quiet.
The expectation is that when the current water level at one of the monitored locations along Brabrandstien passes a flooding level threshold that a general flooding notification will be sent to form subscribers. A e-mail, SMS or push notification will be sent once, and won’t be sent again until the next flooding event.
Can I choose what notifications I want to receive?
No, not at this time.
If Brabrandstien.dk continues to grow and evolves into something that benefits other flood prone areas of Denmark then absolutely self-service notifications will make an appearance.
Can I get a webhook?
No, not at this time.
As above, baby steps. Integration into smart home systems and providing an insight tool for other platforms would be pretty cool!
Most of Brabrandstien is open again. Yay! I adjusted the water level limits yesterday for Åbrinkvej, Åhavevej, Andenbro, Holmbækvej (sti) as there was still surface water there but it was passable by bike.

Moving to brabrandstien.dk
Done! The move to the new domain brabrandstien.dk went to plan, Stations and Locations data was migrated over and a redirect of traffic from visser.io has been applied for social traffic.
This site is hosted on Closte, using WordPress and Mapbox for the website presentation. This site uses a hand-made WordPress Plugin to download and process water level data from WatsonC’s Calipso platform to present estimated flooding along Brabrandstien.
I will focus on applying the feedback received from r/Aarhus in the coming weeks so this site is ready for the next Brabrandstien flooding event.
Here’s the Todo page with outstanding tasks and credits.
