PhotoWalkthrough has a new home
Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 11:04PM It doesn't seem like long since the last time but I've moved the PhotoWalkthrough site once again to new hosting. We're now hosted with Squarespace (not a sponsor, though I wouldn't say no based on the extreme ease of use and excellent functionality). The simple fact that I'm no longer going to have to keep the server software up to date in order to avoid hacks and spammers is worth the small monthly fee.
But in addition to ease of administration I've taken the time to reorganise and tidy up the tutorials. As you can see we've got all the tutorials going back to tutorial 1 all nicely categorised and linked into the menus. We've also got the various specials and quick tips shows separated out. Finally you can now search by category and tag by clicking Archive in the menu to the right. This will allow you to search by product or technique.
All shows will now play right here in your browser and they have download links directly below them.
As usual I welcome comments and suggestions.

Hey John,
Has the move affected the RSS feed? I was trying to download a bunch of old episodes through iTunes this morning, and ran into an odd problem. I started a bunch downloading and walked away. When I came back, they were completely gone from the episode list. I tried refreshing the list, but no go. It jumps from episode 73 to episode 100. There are other small gaps as well, and the earliest episode it shows is #58. I was hoping to manage all that stuff via iTunes instead of having to get them through the web site. If you know any way to get it working, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Yep, as I mentioned in the forum I've had to update the RSS feed due to Feedburner seeming to be broken and dead these days. I believe the changeover has removed anything that came before episode 100. That's my guess anyway.
I'll see if I can create an RSS feed file for the older shows so you can subscribe to that in iTunes and get everything. I'll blog and post a link when I get that done.
Hi John,
I am happy to hear news from your site, because I miss watching your tutorials really much.
I have been following them for quite a long time, and thus wondered if there will be new ones in the future.
I just saw you in a recent tipsfromthetopfloor podcast and would like to know if you are going to make a tutorial on your site about that picture or will this be an exclusive for Chris' podcast?
It would be great to see something new here and the aperture 3 release would be a great oporrtunity to continue your excellent tutorials. I really like your composition and processing style and I learned a lot from watching in the past, so I'm looking forward to see new tutorials or atleast get news from your recent/upcoming work.
Greetings,

Thanks for the comment Arne. Yes I'm considering doing a tutorial using Aperture 3 and I'm not sure but you might see that TFTTF tutorial (done as part of Photoday on the TWiT network) appear as a PhotoWalkthrough tutorial. It's all planned out but I'm not really a fan of repeating myself. I guess we'll see what takes my fancy as I go. Either way I'm going to simplify my production process so that I can hopefully get more content out.
