Why this new site?
You must have noticed the drastic change.
The question, perhaps, is WHY?
- Slowness. The old site was getting too slow. More and more add-ons and plugins took a heavy toll on the performance. Also for the management side of things I was getting annoyed, having to wait for 5 to 10 seconds for something to load.
- Cost. The site is popular with hackers and such. Over 1000 hack and infection attempts per week had made me buy expensive security plugins to keep things safe, adding up to a cost of $250 per year. That is almost twice the cost for the actual hosting of the site, plus these plugins also slowed things down a lot. Also several other nice-to-haves came with a cost, adding to the expense.
I hope you understand why I changed the site to what it is now, and that you will remain a visitor. I hope to improve and prettify things a bit where possible. I understand that a number of nice things, like the "LIKE" button, are no longer available.
For the 2 main reasons above, I felt I had to make this change.
Thanks for understanding. And if you have a comment about this, please let me know!
