What’s New
Fixed the tiling of thumbnails in the Museum sections at last.
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 in category.
Fixed the Subscribe widget that had been disabled for a few weeks.
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 with our crappy NBN.
Related to above I have been unable to add new pages to the best roads portfolio without it breaking the slide on front page. When I am bored I will try fix and expand the best roads section.
Transfer of old posts from Blogger to WordPress has stalled due to my slackness… about 6 remain on Google Blogger.
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 unusable to them due to the colours and there is certainly the ability to change the typography and hue.
FAQ
The blog is slow? – You need 4G or broadband to view this site. 5G or NBN 50 or higher will work better. Aussie NBN 25 is borderline not enough. I see it time out while trying to load just a couple of high res photos from this site.
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. I’m not trying to entertain anyone now except myself and my preference is photography and written word, i.e. blogging.
