The website has grown a few new features. If you follow a Google search result which points to pages on the old website which no longer exist on the new one, there is now an attempt to automatically find that for you in the archive.
Templates you can download to make a Cube Dial have been added to the 'Making Sundials' section. This was originally added to the site in 2021, I believe, but had been hard to find. I came across it by accident and thought it deserved to see the light of day again!

Finally there is an updated Latitude Finder. This can find your latitude and longitude from either your device's current location, a search by place name, or by clicking on a world map. The world map uses 'Open Street Maps' rather than Google, and has the interesting feature that all the place names are in the language and script of that country. Another new feature is that when you select a place it also tells you what its Time Zone is, and works out the longitude adjustment for a dial there.
