Destination of the month becomes photo of the .. er .. day

We used to have a destination of the month on the frontpage. It didn't change every month, though. I think Tallinn won the cherished trophy three months running. Congrats to our friends in the Baltics. There wasn't anything that special about the destination of the month, either. It was just a place we had covered quite well and that had a nice picture.

So we decided to use that space differently. Using flickrs tagging service we handpick nice photos that are uploaded on a daily basis and we publish a feed of it that is spliced with the feed of this blog. Now we decided to use that feed to change the destination of the month into a photo of the day. We don't promise it changes every day, but you will see very regular updates.

You may notice that the caption still reads 'featured destination,' so we've added some additional info on the destination the photo depicts and a link.

New editing interface

We have updated the editing interface and we hope it is easier to use. One of the new features is that it is easier to linke to other articles than before. It also works better with Firefox. Until now Firefox users had to know some basic HTML (which they mostly do) to edit on w66. Now they can use a WYSIWYG-interface.

In the new setup we also try to make it clearer that you shouldn't submit copyrighted materiel (which happens and for us it is hard to find out that it actually is) that you shouldn't just write a commercial write-up promoting your business, and that you should respect the work of other editors.

We hope you like it!

Faster than before

Last night World66 moved to a new server, which means we are faster than before. See for yourself.

Over the last few months traffic to world66 has risen quite fast, which of course makes us happy, but it also meant that the old server was no longer quite up to the job. So we had to say goodbye. The old server is now serving websites that require less hard work than world66.
