Just a bit of technology news concerning the website. I have implemented a new way to view the images on the website. Instead of opening the detail view in a new page (from which you then had to go back to the gallery to chose the next image), you will now see that after click on a thumbnail an overlay will open up and display the image. If you're viewing images in the gallery, you can hover over the right or left side of the detail image and you will see a 'next' or 'previous' button. To return to thumbnail view, close the overlay. I hope this makes viewing my pictures a bit easier. Enjoy. Adrian |

I did a little background update on my website. Most of it is not visible on first glance, it's more about accessibility (per example alternative text of images, etc.) and search engine stuff. The most obvious one to you might be the Google link section on the top. I tried to keep it least intrusive as possible and optimised the pages so that the links are actually of value to fellow travellers who are looking for information. The reason why I do have advertising on the site is, that the site is hosted in Switzerland and trust me, it's not really cheap - especially if you're on Australian wages or/and travelling. With the ads, I try to cover some of those costs, so that you can keep enjoying my travel stories and pictures. I'm certainly not getting rich with this...the ad income over the past 12 months was 50 bucks. Hahaha. But like I said, it helps to cover at least part of the costs. I hope you don't mind! If you ignore the links (which I tried to make as easy as possible), cool...and if you actually find some info through the links, then both sides get something out of it. Thank you for your understanding. |
