CeltPhotographic has had a redesign, it now uses a theme geared towards people like John who publish a lot of photos in their posts. I think I’ll be re-using the theme on Anna and Tim’s sites.
Which reminds me, I’m not sure if I’ve already mentioned it on this blog, but Tim has his own site, like Anna, which can be found at TimMerriman.com. Like his big sister’s it automatically pulls photos and videos of Anna or Tim from this blog and then re-publishes them.
I have also added a new map to the Amsterdam page. It uses a KML file of the coffeeshops I recommend visiting and zooms in a little (if you scroll around, you’ll find a few more in more outlying areas.) FWIIW, I’ve not updated the research since 2008/9 really.

Hey, the link John’s website has a misspelling in the URL and when I put in the proper address Celtphotographic.com) I get a weird redirect to a .in domain site and then end up at Google.com.
But I love the tim merriman theme. Which one is that?

Thanks for noticing the spelling mistake. http://celtphotographic.com/ works fine from here though. http://celtphotographic.co.uk/ redirects to the .com, but I’m not aware of any weird redirects. http://celtstudio.com is John’s gallery for photos not normally on the blog.
Could you let me know if his blog is loading OK for you yet?
Tim’s blog uses the Minimatica theme (stored in the WP repository, so can download via dashboard). It is the same theme on John’s, Tim’s and Anna’s blog, though I’ve enabled a couple of extra things on John’s.

All those links seem to work now.
But it was redirecting to something like “montova.in” and then google.com.

I’m glad I noticed this comment. I just upgraded firefox and then clicked on the links to John’s last two posts from my igoogle feedburner thingy (technical term for widgety thing that shows last 3 posts from a selected blog?) and got redirected to google.ru. I panicked cos everything was in russian and I thought it was to do with my Firefox upgrade.
So as at 09:10 AET it’s still not working Chris. And it’s doing it with “The Clydach Death Ray” which worked fine the other day – redirects to collagecreatorskachat.info blah blah then google.ru!

I’ve tried from Google Reader, another RSS program and direct site-based links, and haven’t been sent to the wrong url at all yet. If you google it, the site seems to be related to malware. A few possibilities occur to me… infected computers redirecting from your intended address to one that will attempt to install malware, DNS poisoning (not sure if that is the correct term) which has a similar effect, but occurs because a DNS server has been compromised, rather than your own PC, or some sort of routing hardware (again your ISP or beyond, rather than local) being compromised to send data to the wrong destination.
I’m not sure what I can do from here, as I don’t get the wrong site come up and so can’t really test it. Thanks for letting me know.

Oh dear. This doesn’t sound very good. AVG is scanning my pc as we speak and once that’s finished I’ll give Spy Bot a go. It’s particularly annoying because I haven’t been able to read any of John’s posts since The Clydach Death Ray!
When it first happened I don’t recall AVG’s security toolbar blocking it – it redirected to a random sight which then redirected, before loading, to google.ru. Now it just gets blocked by AVG. It’s odd it started happening after I updated Firefox.
I’ll keep you posted.

Neither AVG nor Spy Bot found any threats so I’m hoping the problem does not lie with my PC. That’s no further to finding the problem though – poo face bananas!
