Site updates

Screen Resolution

For a while I was thinking about increasing the website resolution (website width). While it seems a simple decision, I was not sure what are the most widely used monitors today and whether such increment will be problematic to some of the visitors.

This is where Google analytics came in to play. One of the many parameters that analytics monitors is the screen resolution. The following graph shows the screen resolutions of the blog visitors from the last month:

The above information shows that ~90% of the users are using wide screen and/or high resolution monitors and only 10% are still using 1024×768. Following this input I’ve decided to increased site width. Visitors with low resolution monitors can use browser zoom functionality to overcome this limit.

So, what’s new?

Ok, so what is new in the updated site design:

• Wider resolution, photographs are much bigger now!
• Updated Portfolio design, sleeker & faster than previous one. I’m currently test-driving the zoom/pan functionality, would highly appreciate your input.
• Updated ‘Web Recommendation’ Sidebar (bottom right menu)
• New image enlargement script, click on the analytics screenshot above to see.

Would be great to hear your feedback…

As you can see I’m still publishing photographs from the 2 weeks in London. I didn’t have much time post-process and now I’m catching up…

Last week I’ve been in Rennes (France) for business. Did not have much time to photograph but I grabbed some some street winter shots, the one above is my most preferred.

Photograph was taken last Saturday in Meah Shearim. Meah Shearim is a famous orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem (more info in Wikipedia). It’s quiet amazing how in a walk few meters from streets you know you see totally different life. This is how the kids spend their Saturday …
