You may or may not have noticed a new addition to the row of tabs just beneath my banner. The 'Rock Gallery' is a new way I'm trying out of showing what's in the archives, taking advantage of the fact that I quite often illustrate my posts with pretty pictures or diagrams.

This is great! It can get so hard to find things in the archives and some of your posts have such pictures...what a neat way of indexing them. You could also use Flickr of course...

That's actually a very neat idea that will make it much easier in searching for intersting fotos and that way find older, informative posts! (I usually remember the pictures better than titles or words)
