Man, Blue and Frans....I've been here since close to day 1. I still come to this site literally every day for the past 25+ years. I wonder how many days I've missed. Can't be many. Frans, thank you so much for helping Blue out, and what about Ant! That dude has been providing us tidbits (well more than that) for how many years now. Cheers to Ant as well.

Thanks Frans! Even the small stuff, like when you delete Chinese spam off the site!

I remain grateful for everything you taught me about building responsive sites with Bootstrap, which I was able to apply to several other (smaller) sites since. Thank you again.
I was privileged to offer my time for the responsive project. If I'm not mistaken, I created a proof-of-concept demo that showed how a responsive version of Bluesnews could look, which helped kick off the site update. For the redesign, we intentionally kept the old-school look—we didn't want to update the design just for the sake of it. We knew many of you would appreciate the classic aesthetic, so our main goal was to ensure it looked good and functioned well on tablets, phones, and desktops. While working on the project, Frans discovers many ways to update and improve the underlying site code. 👍
