I recently have released new version of my website. Now it is good time to look what I have done. Two and half years ago, I started my website on free hosting. There wasn’t lots of content and the layout weren’t very good… Here is screenshot from early layout. I have unfortunately lost the first original layout.

After sometime, I decided to move to “real” webhosting. After that I installed Wordpress and tried to have a blog. I didn’t have enough time/skills to keep it up, so I went to “normal” website. I installed Joomla for two months. I hated joomla and moved back to hand code my website.

Old Pelikoira website. CMS is cutenews.

After couple of big difficulties on my hosting, I moved to new servers, and got much better systems. I restarted blogging with better succession.

Couple days ago, I read some of my text on my website, I realized that the content isn’t good. Most of text contains lots of typos and it’s mostly boring.

So I recreated my website in two parts. Blog and Website. Blog is the place where I write my random thoughts, and other stuff. On the “main” website you can find my projects, links and other non-blogging stuff.

So what is my records? Well, one of my popular pages is the joke about vista’s source code. It got very popular on stumbleupon with over 350 comments. I got about 80,000 unique visitors in two days. Best hit was about 130,000 unique visitors on my website at year 2008 on my previous server. The page was http://www.pelikoira.net/stumble. Stats are here.

Old content is now deleted, but  you can still access the downloads to get old stuff. Some big projects are coming soon…
