Updates on my site

Here follows the list of the new or updated stuff on my site. I try to keep this page up to date and write here every update on My Suzuki Pages that might interest you.

Minor updates on RE5 Rotary page, with additional picture of Magnus Hallme's '75 RE5, this time with original wheels. A sound file (.wav format) demostrating the rotary engine. New GSX1100F magazine article, a road test from 1990, published in the Finnish MP1 magazine. The scans were sent by Janne Mustasaari, Finland. New TC-305 Laredo sales brochure scans (two pages, 1968), sent by Dave Picco, USA. New Suzuki TC series frameset. Minor updates on the All Suzuki Models section (1968, 1971). New Visitors' Suzuki pictures with comments ('02 VL800 Volusia, '02 GZ250, '61 Colleda 250TB). New info and picture of the '02 GSX1300R Limited Edition Midnight Falcon Special.

January 9: New or updated pages: TS400 brochures & adverts, RM250 magazine articles, RM250 brochures & adverts. Minor updates on the All Suzuki Models section (1978).

January 10: some minor updates on the Suzuki GT series section: New GT185 schematic that I found on the Internet, GT250 model history updated (1965, 1981). Minor updates on the All Suzuki Models section (1981).

January 11: A major update. You probably will not notice it all, but it's there anyway. I changed the html code on every page on my site so that I can control the contest of the top and the bottom of all pages whenever I want by just changing the html code on a couple of documents. The function is called SSI (Server Side Includes). That is something you don't have to think about at all, you can surf on my site as before. The main difference from before is that most of the pages have the suffix .shtml (server parsed html) instead of .html. I have also moved around a great deal of documents to new folders. Because of that the direct links to specific pages (if you have used them) probably won't work anymore.
After doing all this, I have carefully tested all the links sitewide and they should all be OK but I may have missed something. If you find any broken links or images, please notify me so I can fix it.

Minor updates on the All Suzuki Models section (1981).

January 23: I got a part-time job last week, I will be teaching web design to young men and women at the local high school here in Sweden. I will be teaching them how to use Style Sheets and stuff, and I previously haven't used the function on my own site... I decided to check it out and manage the fonts on mite with Style Sheets; so I had a huge update to do — again! During the last few of days I have been hacking the code on my site, page by page. It has taken quite a while... Now I have gone through almost every single page, changing the html code so that I can manage the layout dynamically. And while I was at it, I also made some minor updates and corrected some small errors on several pages.
Minor layout upgrade sitewide. For example I put a Measurement Conversion link on the bottom of every full-size page (not on the smaller Updates pages). New Visitors' Suzuki pictures with comments ('79 GS850G, '93 GSX600F).

It looks like the and visitors on my site keep on increasing. The number of page views in January was over 83,244, a new record again. The next busiest month was December 2002, with 79,350 page views, according to the counter.

The number of page views on my site is now over 674,000 since the start in September 2001 (over 172,000 unique visitors). I'm very happy for the traffic! I thank you all for visiting my site. I hope you have enjoyed your visit and will come again some time.

The total number of visitors should actually be higher, the counter has not been working properly all of the time.
