Getting back on track

Blog entry for August 2018

There has been a hiatus for some months now, in which we have hardly added any new puzzles; part of the reason being backend software problems. These are now largely resolved, so I am working on the backlog to add, and hope to get back to our previous figure of around 1200 puzzles in stock fairly soon. I am also working on a major upgrade, which will mean, among other things, long overdue bigger pictures.

We already have some new pages, featuring the American landscape artist Thomas Kincade, who in addition to landscapes of the world has been producing elegant scenes from Disney animations. I have also just added a range of puzzles of Pokémon characters: "Pocket Monsters", to give them their original full name. And there are other anime series to come, but if you have a favourite which you can't find in the puzzles, please just ask, and I will see what is available.

Another backend issue which can slow us down is maintaining the guides to manufacturer websites (on the Special orders page). Every time a manufacturer's website gets redesigned, I have to repair all the links... recently both Appleone and Epoch did this. I have just restored the Appleone guide, and the Epoch one should follow shortly.
