About the SABG web site
- Very occasionally I change the “theme” (style) of the web site. The current theme has a choice of a light or dark background. To change from one to the other, click on “Toggle theme” at the very top on the right-hand side.
The URL (location, address) at which the web site can be found is www.sabg.uk or just sabg.uk. It is a secure web-site. If your web browser says it isn’t, go to https://sabg.uk. Information about our compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) can be found in our Privacy Policy.
The SABG web-site started in October 2006. I am very grateful to Andrew Jones and Cardiff University who made available the “Biodiversity” server on which we ran the original SABG web site from 2006 to 2017 at no cost to the SABG.
In April 2018, a new version of the SABG web site was established. The new version is hosted by a company whose servers are housed in an energy-efficient data centre powered by energy from green renewable sources. It’s implemented as a “wiki” in order to make it easier for people to contribute to it. The page “What's a wiki?” gives more details of how it works. Please email me with any problems or suggestions.
What's a wiki?
A wiki appears to the user just like any other web site. However, behind the scenes there is software which makes it easier for the person maintaining the web site (at present Richard White, and perhaps others in due course) to make additions and changes. This is the main reason why I have switched to the use of a wiki instead of an ordinary web site. See Wikipedia's own explanation of what a wiki is, and what it has to do with shuttle buses at Honolulu airport.
