Well after some rather irritating issues with my new host, everything seems to be pretty stable now. All the content has been transferred from the old static pages, and can be found from the main page; my gallery is now up & running at usable speed with over 2000 pics already added, note that it has RSS feeds available.

And of course this blog is working fine now, along with the instructions cross reference page. So hopefully now I can go back to just adding more content!

Apologies to anyone attempting to visit the site this last weekend, my web host found a problem with a script which was chewing their resources, so had to shut it down. The problem is not yet solved, but the rest of the site is now available. Hopefully this will not happen again anytime soon.

Some of you have probably already noticed a few changes in the last couple of days. I’ve installed the Joomla! CMS package, and will gradually be moving all the static site content over the next few weeks. I’ve also installed the Gallery2 gallery package, and will be uploading all my pics too. So keep your eyes open and check back regularly!

The move to my new host is now complete. Everything on the site should now work as it did before, if you have any problems please shoot me an email. The nameservers were changed a couple of days ago, so they should have propagated to most corners of the internet by now.

But I’ve gradually got more annoyed with FrontPage, which up till now I have been using to edit the static parts of my site, and have decided to move to a CMS system. I haven’t decided whether the content will stay the same or not. But it won’t be happening straight away, so don’t worry too much. The only downside is that all the URLs will probably change.

I’ve also decided to host my LEGO pics (and probably non-LEGO ones too) on my own site. I’m currently setting up a gallery system, and will launch it soon.

The only constant in life is change…

Yep, after several years with Northstar, I’ve finally decided to move to a new web host. I’m currently in the process of copying the site over, and will be switching over the domain name in the next couple of days. So although the URLs will all remain the same, some may experiance outages as nameserver information propagates.

Thank you all for your patronage!
