Refitting The Site

MaritimeMatters is having a refit.  We are open during this upgrade, but some categories and items are on the move.

This week we have added a TRANSLATE button at the bottom of each post with a list of the languages to choose from.  (I used our list of countries most frequently visited the site to determine these choices.  I added Welsh too, that was a more personal choice.)

You will also see a ‘Like” button on the top of each post, this will share a link to your facebook friends if you click upon it, if you have any.  At the bottom of each post we added a choice of sharing options to various social media sites, book marking options etc.  You will also see a black “up arrow” and the end of the page, this will bring you rapidly back to the top of some long long posts. For twitter please use @MaritimeMatterz and @PKnego

The bigger project is that I am reshuffling and renaming some of the top navigation categories, which I hope will lead to a more logic flow throw the site.

Thanks for your patience,  Martin Cox

    Thank you Martin, it’s already a nice upgrade from the very first time I came to this site in the late 90’s to see what’s happening. I do appreciate all of the hard work.

    Thankyou Peter and Martin for this site. I look at it daily and get very happy when there is a new article. Almost like finding new ship book at bookstore.I appreciate it. I like that I can leave comments because there’s very few people that I know that I can talk to about ships. All regular people know about is titanic and that is limited to the movie!

    Martin – magnificent! The new site looks just great: rich in content, highly navigable and just a delight. As a student of web design I am nothing less than awestruck (& envious). I know how hard it is both to keep a site fresh — as you have always done — and make it both easy & fun to use. You have succeeded in both, admirably.

    Being out of touch with Liners List etc I wasn’t even aware of the redesign until I casually searched for info on the CARNIVAL SPLENDOUR debacle — Google has you at #2!

    Peter – great work on the blogging. I particularly enjoyed the look at USNS GENERAL JOHN POPE, and the latest harrowing tale from Alang. When you linked to the webcam shots of POPE going through the Canal I thought “what a wonderful world we live in”. Your preservation efforts will be appreciated ever more as the years pass and others realize what is being lost. Superb work, both/all of you.
