On Wednesday 18 January 2012 I launched a new version of the website. Because I was moving it to a new web hosting at the same time, the transition from the old version to the new one wasn’t entirely smooth. Some people saw the new version within a few minutes, some still saw the old one the next day, and for some the new and the old version of the site alternated for a while. This phenomenon is common when changing web hosting, until a complete synchronization of the servers that tell browsers where to load the pages from runs through the world of the internet. Now everything should hopefully be fine, and most people should no longer see the old version.
I had intended to create a new website already at the beginning of last year, but there was never enough time. In autumn, though, I began moving all my sites to a new hosting, and that was probably the biggest impulse to finally get to work. I built the new site in the background and tried several different versions and variants before deciding on the one you are viewing right now. Originally I wanted to change the design of the site markedly too, but the concept of the old site worked, so I chose a similar design and way of control; I don’t want to confuse visitors too much and teach them something new. Under the hood of this version, however, much more modern technologies are hidden.
The biggest visible change is the new gallery. It offers several ways of viewing, including viewing photographs across the whole browser window (then in full-screen mode after pressing the F11 key), a slideshow, thumbnails and so on. In connection with the possibility of full-screen mode I am gradually enlarging and re-editing all the older photographs; at this moment the whole of 2004 is done and 2005 and 2006 are nearly done. Some photographs I removed, others I added. Incidentally, the gallery has also expanded by the year 2012 and the first January photographs.
Everything else stayed as much as possible the way you were used to. The structure, navigation and page addresses were preserved (except for a few exceptions, such as the Download section). All photographs, galleries and articles are therefore at their original addresses.
I am far from finished with the work, the site has its little flaws so far, but everything important works as it should and I’ll gradually polish the details in the coming weeks and months. I hope you will like the new site and come back often.
