Checked and changed contact e-mail address.

Apologies if you got invalid recipient or similar messages.

The "mailto" links work with e-mail clients like Thunderbird, but I haven't tried

them with a webmail only system.

Removed Google analytics

Added a photo of Luke and Vera ( Thanks Chris / ) The photo is originally from Michael
Chevis, was taken in 1969 and remains his copyright.

Minor maintenance on the Home page.

Now toying with the idea of making this an HTTPS:/ site. Not yet though, if it works don't fix it.

 

Tested using Opera, Internet Explorer, Android tablet.

It works with mobile phone but it's so tiny !

Not designed for swiping I'm afraid,  just a happy dinosaur.

11/1/10

Upgraded "Highslide" from v4.0.8 to v4.1.8 and uploaded it to the website.

Nearly wiped out the entire website in the process.

Uploaded missing folders. Sigh.

Good job I keep version backups.

Revamped the display of photos, works well for all but the largest ones. These are mostly sixties teams and newspaper articles. May duplicate them on a separate page.

Corrected text handling within layers. This was caused by the first line of code which referred to XHTML. A nuisance.

Time to upload the revised pages and see if they work properly.

More later.

10/1/10

Tried some experimental techniques on displaying the photos.

Mini galleries, opaque background with different control layout.

Nothing worked properly.

After a few  frustrating hours the light bulb came on.

My version of Highslide is 15 months old. I wonder ..... ?

Highslide is the photo display management program.

Will continue tomorrow.

9/1/10

Tidied up the code in 2000 and 2009 photo pages in the wee small hours.
