After a GDPR hiatus, the shredzone is back!
I used the time for a total redesign and a cleanup. The design is now responsive, so you can enjoy the articles on the big screen as well as on your smartphone. I have removed all the unnecessary stuff that were modern in blogs 10 years ago, but actually just cluttered the screen (like the calendar and the tag cloud).
There are a few bugs left and some features missing. I will take care of them in the next couple of weeks.
Anyhow, I hope you like the new design!
By the way: The shredzone turns 20 this year. Congratulations! 🎂
I have decided to remove the comments section and delete all comments. The reason for this is the GDPR, which comes into effect on 25 May 2018.
Shredzone uses no cookies and no tracking, displays no adverts and does not load any images or scripts from external servers. I have no interest in snooping on my readers, and have therefore designed everything to use as little data as possible.
The only problem was the comments section. Naturally, personal data is collected there, which in turn entails a mountain of requirements and obligations. For a hobby blog that doesn’t earn me a single penny, the effort is simply too great.
I have always really enjoyed your comments. Please feel free to continue sending me your remarks, praise and criticism by email or as a Tweet.
10 years ago the time had come: shredzone.de went online! Today I am proud that I managed to put my new blog online just in time for the anniversary.
The blog software is called Cilla and is my own development, into which quite a few long evenings of work have already gone. I didn’t manage to finish some of the things I had planned in time. That is why the Shredzone currently wears the (by now almost mandatory for Web 2.0) beta badge. 😉 I will release the source code for Cilla on my development site as soon as I’m no longer making too many changes to it.
The content of my old homepage - especially the photo gallery - will gradually move over to my new site.
Have fun on the new Shredzone!
PS: Until the Captcha system is finished, I will be moderating all new comments for now. Please be a little patient until your comment is approved.
