I have just added a new poll. This time I want to know, have you ever been out cycling in a wetsuit?

New poll on-line
I have just added a new poll. Which can be found on the top right of each page. This poll is about what would you like more of, on the website.
You can vote from two of the following:-
- Blog posts
- Photos
- Podcasts
- Vlogs
Also big thanks to everyone that voted in the last poll. I asked “What would you like to see more photos of?” the poll results were as followed.
I was hoping that my motorcycle gear would win, since right now it’s my favourite gear. But oh well. But I do still of course really like to wear my cycling gear and wetsuits. So I have posted two photos showing the best of best, lycra and my motorcycle helmet :).
Firefox 4.0 is here :)
At long last Firefox 4.0 is out. I have been using it, since the very first beta come out. So come on everyone download it!! Right now only 1.3% of my website visitors are using it. Which happens to be the same number that are using IE 9. Can’t be having that!! Need to get Firefox 4.0, up to at least 5%!! Download your copy for free at www.mozilla.com.
Added my first ever poll
I have just added my first ever poll to this website. Well the new look one anyway, I am sure I use to run ones on the old website from time to time. In this new poll I am asking what photos you would like to see more of.

You can vote for all three, if you really want :).
If you can think of any other polls you would like to see, then let me know…

Adding GPS data to photos…
I have just found some very good software called free GeoSetter that lets you add GPS data to photos. If you think what is the point of that, then check out www.gordon-valentine.com/zenphoto/me/2011/p3080169.jpg.html and you will see a google map under the photo, showing where it was taken. So far only done three photos, but over time I will do more and more… The first set, I will be doing is all the ones taken during the 2009 End2End cycle.
How do I set-up my own avatar?
I often get asked how do I setup my own avatar. If you have no idea what an avatar is. It’s the image that goes next to your comment when you post a comment on this website. It’s easy to do just point your web browser to www.gravatar.com.
Sorry about the website downtime
Sorry about the website down time, was off-line for around12 hours. Some how the domain servers changed themselves. They changed from the 34sp.com ones to servers that I get the domain name from. No idea how it happened. Waiting for a email back from Freeparking, to say how it happened. But at the same time want to thank them for fixing it so fast, once I had worked out, what happened in the first place.
Fixed some photo gallery bugs
If like myself you like to get most of your website updates via twitter or RSS feeds then you will be happy :). At long last I have got the RSS comments feed working again. It stopped working when I upgraded to a new version of zenphoto. Which is the CMS (content management system), gallery system I use on this website. So now it’s been working when anyone posts a comment on a photo, it will automatically get posted to my twitter feed.
The RSS feed for the photo comments is: www.gordon-valentine.com/zenphoto/index.php?rss-comments&type=gallery&lang=en_US.
My twitter feed is twitter.com/gsvalentine which you should all know by now 🙂
Best webcam images back on-line :)
That’s me just copied all of the “best webcam images” over from the old website. I have just changed how many pages they are, it’s gone from 25 down to 7. Still got the same number of images. Each page now has 24 images instead of the 6 that they had before.
Can’t really think of anything else say, other than my friend is doing well and should be out of hospital later this week.
