Welcome to Adventures by Burnsland! This new site is an extension of the original Burnsland.com site. Here you will find photos and stories of our new adventures, as well as some memories from our previous adventures, too. Why the change? There are several reasons for this change. One reason is site speed. The old Burnsland site was created with Wordpress. Wordpress is great for a lot of things, but for me it had become a bit much. And Wordpress takes a good bit of computing work, too. For example, when you click on a Wordpress link, the system has to go grab all of the different parts - header, graphics, content, footer, sidebar stuff, and whatever else - and smush all of that into one file to be sent to you and shown on your screen. Every time you click a new link, it has to go through that page creation process again and then show the to you. Plus, I had added a good bit of add-ons to try to make the whole experience better and also faster. Yes, there are ways to force Wordpress to build a page cache and serve you a static page, but that takes a bit of work, too.
