Settings and Statistics

Well it's now mid March and I've succeeded in uploading over 100,000 images.  I've also just about won the battle with 'redirecting' my website domain names to the new site, the next week or so will be interesting when I finally 'switch off' the old site and redirect tonylarge.net to the new one, I expect I'll be 'off the air' for a few days.

I didn't know until I started 'tinkering' with websites that it takes between 24 and 48 hours for a domain name to be redirected.  I know, in this day and age we expect changes to be instantaneous, but in the world of domain names it doesn't!  And that's assuming you've got all the DNS settings correct in the first place, a bit trial and error in my case.  Most of my domains are registered through 123-Reg, and their Control Panel and guides have been easy to use, just the 'nut behind the wheel' that has been a bit slow!  Anyway I think I've cracked it, they all seem to be redirecting to my new site, now.  If you're reading this it obviously worked!

I looked at my old website recently, and came up with some interesting statistics; I had 509,971 images stored from all my contributing photographers and my own.  That comprises of 670 uploads, (events), and resulted in 137,211 visitors since 2002.  Here's my contribution: 

2007 was the only single digit year, but we did move house to Hampshire that year.

It did make me wonder, that 'pre digital', how rolls of 35mm film would that have been?
