Latest Photo Additions
Yet another addition to the Gallery
One new image was added to the Gallery (Culicidae). Just one, but this ballet was too nice to put on hold.
Additions to Diptera Gallery
Ten new images were added to the Gallery (Chloropidae, Hippoboscidae, Lauxaniidae, Stratiomyidae, Syrphidae, Tephritidae, Therevidae, Ulidiidae). More will be fed in gradually.
Some additions
A have added a few features to the site:
In the left column you can see the five most recent additions to the Diptera Gallery.
At the bottom of the opening page you can see the five most recent comments that were made about pages or images in the Diptera gallery.
You may help to keep Diptera.info in the air and even get it improved by a donation (See Donate panel in the right column).
You can keep track of any changes on the site through the link to Site changes, which keeps the date till last update.
System update
The Content Management System has been updated to v6.00.204. As a result, some of the features that were present earlier are still not present. I will include them as soon as possible.
There are several new themes available, most of the with their own Diptera.info logo. The easiest way to try them out is to log out and use the Theme Switcher that is available for guests. Using the Theme Switcher you can switch themes on the fly without having to edit your profile. When you have found the one you like, you can log in again and set it in your profile.

Quotes panel
You must have noticed the quotes panel that appeared. It is here just to put some extra juice into the site. Send me a PM if you have another quote or if you think it is out off place on this site.
