It is supposed to protect and empower the data privacy of citizens of the European Union. Their website says the new […]

When busy with my blog yesterday, I suddenly noticed that my post on Sunday was actually the 400th post being published on this blog. Or at least the 400th post that is still there, as I have deleted some in recent years. I guess about half of them were written in the past year when […]

I hear you thinking! Not yet another blog design! When I moved this blog to its own domain almost a year ago my old WordPress theme for WordPress.com wasn’t available on the WordPress.org site, where WordPress sites with its own domain are hosted. I just choose one that looked nice, but since I have always […]

In the past year it has been a challenge to me to update my blog regularly instead of once in a while. Time to reflect and see which posts (old or new) were most popular in 2017. I slowly get more visitors, but I think I still could do much better. The concurrence of other […]

I started my website in October 1998. At the time I was in between two studies and certainly didn’t lack any time. A friend of mine, who had recently started a website with royal genealogies, inspired me. He borrowed me a booklet about HTML and helped me starting the site up. Just imagine, I didn’t […]

Unbelievably but true, despite of not having written on this blog regularly since its start in September 2012 until December 2016 this blog reached a special milestone yesterday, 17 February 2017. I had just let my statistics transferred in time as the blog reached an amount of 400,000 visitors since its start. I hope the […]

I guess everyone who has his/her own website or blog knows the feeling. Starting a new website or blog costs time, the same counts when you move a blog to another place. Last week I switched from a free WordPress.com blog to my own domain with use of WordPress.org. Almost the same name, but a […]

When I started this blog some years ago, I didn’t do that much about it and just opened a free blog at WordPress.com. Possibilities there however are limited and when you want to add something it costs you quite a bit of money. After a discussion with a fellow blogger and the host of my […]

For years I wondered what to do with this blog. Life’s of course changing, and where I had lots of time when starting my website nettyroyal.nl in 1998, some years later I spent all my evenings behind my computer. As I was working almost fulltime during the day I had to update my website in […]
