A refresh for jameshouston.com

The old WordPress home page: James Houston in black on white, a blue menu bar, the Eltham Palace film, a Recent Posts sidebar, and a cookie notice across the bottomThen

The home page, before and after

I’ve given this site a refresh. I’d got a bit bored of how slowly the old WordPress site loaded, so I’ve moved it to a static site. The pages are now built in advance rather than each time someone visits, which makes it much quicker. The home page responds in about a tenth of a second, compared with around two seconds before.

All the old posts are still here at the same web addresses, including the race diaries, tours, knitting and films. I’ve also got rid of the cookie banner, as the site no longer uses cookies.

If you find anything that’s broken or missing, please let me know.
