In case you're wondering what I've been working on in recent months, I finally launched the site I've been redesigning from scratch:
 
http://www.enchanted.co.uk/
 
Dunno if you saw the old site (which was originally designed by me about six years ago) but hopefully the new site is a big improvement and visitors will like the new look.
 
All the artwork including the woodland scene at the top of the pages is 'hand' painted (i.e. graphics tablet) by myself (the woodland scene I painted at a much higher resolution in case it's needed for print use). The logo and product photography is all down to me too, so it's a pretty complete project.
 
It's taken so long and been such an exhausting road, I feel like I've given birth :D

Thanks, yeah trying to keep it as uncomplicated as possible was a priority. Enchanted got a lot of products now and we'd kept bolting stuff onto the previous site and it had become a navigational mess. New site is more modular so can add stuff easier.

Oh, is that anything I should be worried about or does your work block a wide range of sites?
 
A handful of the sculptures on the site have some mild nudity, but all in the name of art of course :) Wouldn't imagine that's the problem, but would be interesting to know why it's getting blocked.

Loads of stuff gets blocked, basically if it isn't to do with Biology in some way it gets blocked.  Not sure exactly what it looks for as I can get onto thisa site and prydwen.net, but VNboards and mmorpg.com get blocked but amazon doesn't, i'd imagine porn gets blocked as well but i've not felt the need to test the theory out  ;)

But no, I won't get into trouble for trying to look at it.

I could view in from work which is a surprise and it blocks nearly everything I want to look at as tasteless or vulgar!

Cern mostly its a product that uses a database of URL's to block non work related sites. They also have some kind of adaptive software that classifies sites it doesn't know about or are new.

I believe those kind of things are products like surfcontrol, I'm not sure how they work but i guess you could always download the evaluation version and have a play if it worries you - link here
