Notice To Mariners

I have been toying with the idea of combining my two presences in www, the Bosphorus Naval News blog and Unofficial Homepage of Turkish Navy web page under the same URL.

I have been editing and maintaining Unofficial Homepage of Turkish Navy since 1997. It all started as a small page on geocities, in the early days of web 1.0. For the last 7 years Unofficial Homepage Of Turkish Navy been hosted under its own URL turkishnavy.net. This URL is very widely known. The pages about Turkish Navy are static due to their content and there is not much interactivity with the visitors.

My blog Bosphorus Naval News on the other hand is more dynamic and making itself known. But there was no organic linkage between the blog and the web page.

Thus I have decided to move the blog to the URL of the web page and create static pages the tabs you see below the blog header and transfer the data of the static web pages to the blog.

But the change in of definitions and IP address seems to be more problematic than I had thought. Currently I have lost all the traffic coming from Turkey as the IP address configured belong to Google and they are blocked in Turkey. So no one from Turkey using normal browsing methods can see my blog including me. And visitors out of Turkey cannot reach the pages hosted in Unofficial Homepage of Turkish Navy as turkishnavy.net is directed to my blog.

I am sorry for these inconveniences. But I am working on these issues and I hope to solve them over the weekend.
