AstroArts – Five Years on the Web!

Posted under News & Notes

This website, AstroArts, is now five years old. Five years is a long time – by internet standards it’s like an eternity.
I started conceiving and building the site in late February 2005. Back then the site was located at a free webhosting service with 60 megabytes of storage space. Enough for just a couple of nice picture galleries. But that changed quickly…
On May 12, 2006, I registered the domain astroarts.org with a professional webhosting company whom I still use to this day. The site now uses a blogging model based on WordPress and has articles as its centre rather than just static pages with galleries.

Thanks to all of you for visiting this website during the last five years, and I hope you will continue to enjoy this place just as I do! :-)

Next up will be an article with outstanding pictures from Cassini’s flyby of Saturn’s moon Mimas, which ocurred on February 13, 2010. Stay tuned!

Welcome to my new and improved website!

Posted under News & Notes

I just finished the redesign of the AstroArts website using the WordPress platform. I’m excited about the new format, because it will allow me to post articles and image galleries faster and in a more user-friendly way. And you as my visitors may look forward to a lot more interaction on this site than before.
So please check it out, watch for new features over the next few days ;-) , and let me know what you think about the new look.
