Experiment with Google Advertising
April 4th, 2006

I have registered with Google AdSense and added some Google adverts at the base of a number of pages. I am curious to see just how much revenue the adverts generate. If they generate any income I shall use that to pay for the web space hosting.

Additional scripts and links
April 2nd, 2006

I added some scripts that redirect users to the home page in the event of broken links, frame issues and missing pages. I placed some significant links on the home page for easy access.

Who are these six AIF POWs?
April 1st, 2006


My father had this photograph of six AIF diggers taken at Ohamma, Japan on or about the 21st August, 1945. This was following their liberation. Can anyone help me with their names?

Updated photographs and fixed a few links
April 1st, 2006

I added some descriptions at the foot of each image in the photographs section. I also rectified a few incorrect links.

Added some sites to the links page
March 28th, 2006

I added some relevant sites to the links page. I also re-arranged the cells for the galleries within the site.

Finally uploaded
March 27th, 2006

Well, the revamped Prisoner of War site has finally uploaded. I might need to precache some of the images. The rollover images only appear reluctantly. I noticed that some of the tables appeared “ugly” on some computers at school so I made some adjustments.

Prisoner of War version 2.0 on its way
March 26th, 2006

Version 2.0 of Prisoner of War is currently being uploaded. Not quite complete yet it is now time to place the new site online. The finer details can be added later. Some of the image and document pages need to be renamed. I would like to add a site map and timeline as well. One step at a time now.

The new site is located at this url http://pow.larkin.net.au/. Uploading still has an hour or so to go as I make this entry.

Please use this blog to comment upon the site and to make recommendations regarding the content and the overall design of the site.
