Cleanup & Consolidation

I thought I would give you all a quick update as to how the site is going, and announce something, so I’ll keep this one brief for you.

Since the revamped template launched the site has received a big increase in hits. In April the site saw 36581 hits, May saw 26810 and June saw 33066 hits. Based on the times before I wasn’t even breaking 10000. How much of that is valid I simply don’t know but the amount of data transfered seems to suggest it’s really going well. So thank you.

Anyway onto the title of this post. In a few of the comments and twitter replies i’ve had, it’s become very clear that the gallery needs a little bit of a cleanup.

I have three galleries up right now, one for Digital, one for Photography and one for my Portfolio. The Portfolio of course being the one where I showcase what I think is my best work. The rest are more of a ‘timeline’ of my progression through photography and digital art, and whilst I don’t think I’m that great at the artwork I do, I know I have progressed significantly since I first started.

As a result, and to reflect both on how far I’ve managed to come and to get rid of some of the more… dated images in my library. Starting tonight I will slowly start making my way through the images I have up here and begin deleting the images I feel are no longer necessary. Truth be told I will probably end up with only one gallery, one that will help inspire me to do more.

Don’t fear however, the old images will be added to a repository on Flickr where they will also be linked to for everyone to enjoy, in one big gallery.

If you have any thoughts or comments before I begin the cleanup feel free to express them, and of course if you have any particular favorites let me know, and soon!
