What’s New
Fixed the tiling of thumbnails in the Museum section at last, now I need to actually get off my butt and update the content…
Fixed the Guestbook. The anti spam had become too aggressive.
Previously part 2/3/4 posts of a ride were only accessible from part 1 and subsequent pages – now all are posted to their respective category.
Fixed issue of comment box missing the tick box to be notified of replies.
Current Issues
Access from a mobile phone remains slower than normal. I have turned off AVIF format images, these load faster on a PC but some phones lack the cpu power needed for them.
Some old images are higher res and slow loading – a legacy of this blog being built with gigabit internet in Japan thus I originally posted high resolution images and never saw any slowdown until I arrived in Australia.
Transfer of old posts from Blogger to WordPress remains glacial slow to my slackness… about 5 remain on Google servers.
I made some of the Museum content offline until I get around to updating it.
Feedback
Does this site seem hard to read to you? i.e. the colour or fonts? If so can you tell me how it appears to you? I am using black text on a white background, same as books or newspapers but someone once told me the site was too difficult for him to read?
FAQ
The blog is slow? – You need minimum of 4G or broadband to view this site. 5G or NBN 50 or higher are better. Aussie NBN 25 is borderline not enough. I see NBN 25 time out while trying to load just a couple of high res photos. I already have in place a CDN and a professional quality site optimizer and Namecheap’s fastest hosting.
How can I download your GPS routes? – A link can be found on the Contact page.
What is your YouTube channel? – I used to shoot video in the 90’s but realised I was mainly trying to entertain other people and never looked at the videos again myself. I’m not trying to entertain anyone now just record my travels and my preference for doing that is photography and written word, i.e. blogging.
