Problems with photos
As you may have noticed I am currently experiencing some problems with photos - namely that none of them are appearing.
It seems as though the photos have been deleted from the server for some reason. I will endeavour to find out what has happened to them and will re-upload them shortly.
Update: After re-uploading everything and changing passwords, everything is working as it should again. If anyone spots anything wrong, just give me a shout.
Latest blog entries
A few days ago I finally got around to adding the latest blog entries to the front page of the site to help people find the latest content on here.
I don't have much time at the moment with exams and stuff but one of the first things I'm hoping to do afterwards is creating the Sun Sneezing page that I've been meaning to do for a while. There have been quite a few people interested in it, so I think it would be a waste if I didn't set it up, even if it is a long time since I promised it first time around!
Photos of London added
This week I have added some new photos of London to my photo gallery. They range from flowers and phoneboxes in Russell Square gardens to the Centre Point building on New Oxford Street and the British Museum along with a couple of others thrown in for good measure.
Also, just a quick reminder that as I put new photos into the galleries now I will mention it my blog and may not necessarily mention it in the news section as well. Soon I will add the latest blog entry titles to the front page of the site in addition to the latest news item, as that seems like the logical thing to do.
Blog is launched
On Friday last week I began experimenting with a new part for the site, a blog. Blogs, or web logs, are regularly updated web pages that allow the author to write about topics which are of interest. It is now at a stage where I am happy to launch it and welcome in visitors stopping by to see other parts of my site.
In the blog I will be writing about topics such as photography, geographic information, web design and development and any other things which take my fancy along the way. As I write, the latest entry in the blog is about the recent release of Churchill: The Hollywood Years, a movie which I was an extra in back in 2003.
The news section of the site will now only be updated with actual news about the site itself whilst anything else will be written about in the blog.
New photos of London
Apart from one photo, it's been almost two years since I added any new photos of London to my London photo gallery - there were a few special features created, but that's it.
So when I went to Greenwich yesterday with the rest of the students off my MSc course, I thought it was about time to take some new photos for the gallery. I've uploaded seven new photos, including my first ones of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.
One of the new photos is a photo of Tower Bridge. This isn't just any photo of Tower Bridge though, it's a bit of a special one. The day that our boat travelled underneath just happened to be the first day in many years that the bridge had stopped working. It had locked in the open position (just slightly - so you can't tell from the photo) and was causing traffic chaos.
