I’ve removed the over-sized headers that previously sat at the top of each of the main news pages (Trip reports, Drawings,On The Trail Of… etc). In their place, I have set up the same animated slides that already occupied the … Read more
A couple of small changes to mention. Firstly, I have separated my drawings into three categories – wildlife, pets and people. It’s still possible to see all news relating to my drawings in one place by selecting the top-level menu … Read more
I’ve removed the graph functionality from the species list. I vaguely remember stating at the time that I implemented it that it was kind of pointless and more of a learning experience for me than anything else. The site statistics … Read more

One of the (many) issues with the previous incarnation of this website was that the font size was incredibly small. That would normally be an easy thing to fix, but with the way that site was built, where everything was … Read more
Apart from a few small visual tweaks here and there, there’s not been much worth mentioning here. Whenever I make any changes, I keep check on whether there’s any resulting hit on the site’s performance, and usually there either is … Read more
