We’d like to apologize for the downtime of our site over the last 24 hours. There were some issues with the server we were hosted on but, thanks to the support team at Netnibble who’ve worked non-stop to put things right, we’ve had a full (and free) restore from the backups they’ve been taking automatically for us, and we’re now being hosted on a brand new swanky 4 CPU server with heaps of bandwidth and disk space.
Every cloud has a silver lining huh?!

We’ve now copied our existing galleries over into our newly designed galleries section, (it now has much more of the look and feel of the main site and blog) and now we can concentrate on adding a lot more images. Already there is the entire DOT CD 25 with some fantastic photos of scenery from Italy, Portugal, Spain, the USA, Switzerland and the UK, and we’ve also started adding some more fantasy art albums.
Stay tuned, because there’s a lot more to come!

Now that we’ve got the new site format pretty much how we want it, we can start adding some more galleries.
First up is a small fantasy art collection by Carlos Cartagena - We’ve got some more to add over the next few days, so keep checking back!
Thanks to Roger for helping to compile some of the galleries we’ll be adding soon.

Call it what you will, FileStar is having a refit, a bit of a makeover, a move to a new server, and generally a bit of a kick in the butt to get things going again.
We’re changing the engine that runs the site in the background to make things easier for ourselves and to give the site a more uniform look and feel, along with a move to a swanky new server (thanks Netnibble!) giving us more processor power, bandwidth, memory and disk space (yes, this last bit means a lot more galleries!
We hope that you like the new look - The old site is still there, but will be phased out very soon.

The DOT Collections are always great photo-galleries of places around the world. They always have me wishing to jump onto a plane and fly off somewhere
Take a look at what I mean - We’ve added part of DOT CD 25 into the galleries for you to take a look at.
We’re also making a start on the Celebrity Galleries now - First up is a personal favorite, Miss Jessica Alba, although there’ll be plenty more to come!

This gallery is also featured on our sister site, filestar.org, be we thought we’d include it here as it serves as a reminder of what Mother Earth can do.
Again, it was created by a group of “scanners” who were moved by the disaster and wished to create this series as a mark of respect to all those affected by the Tsunami.

Thanks to JT (Jim) for allowing us to use his photos of the worst ice storm to hit Republic, Missouri USA in 42 years, on January 12, 2007.
1.72″ (4.3cm) of ice covered everything within a 50 mile radius of Republic, knocking out power to 142,000 homes and businesses for days. Some then went on to be without power for up to 3 weeks!
We also added one of our favorite scan collections “SAT - Scanners Against Terror” in permanent memory of all those who perished or lost loved ones and friends in the attacks on the USA on 9/11 2001.

The FileStar project is taking shape
We’ll be using this blog to tell you about what’s new on the site, any bugs (and fixes) and generally keeping you up to date with events as the site develops.
