As you can now see, I’ve moved the site to its own domain was that I thought Keir deserved a main site all to himself. The subdomain I had him under was not getting the site indexed on search engines, or if it was, it was buried back on like Google search page 33. Not good and certainly Keir deserves better. Moving it to a domain of its own makes sure people will see it and already, it’s showing up on page 3. So everything is moved and ready and tested. I’ll be adding three or four of Keir’s films to the gallery soon. Please keep watch.

One problem has come up though. The Media portion of this site which is hosted on another server is currently down. The company I’m hosted at is apparently offline as well so I’m at a loss as to what is happening. I’m trying to get in touch with them as of this posting. Keep checking back to see what is going on. I’ll post as soon as I know something.

After some consideration, I’ve decided to open the gallery up for registrations. By doing so you can rate pictures and leave a comment. One thing though, I’ve placed an anti-spamming filter on it so there is no way any spam will get through. All comments will await my moderation before they make it to the gallery. Also there is a section in the registration form where you MUST fill in where you first saw Keir. This is mandatory for your registration to be accepted. This also weeds out robots and other spyware/malware programs from attaching to the gallery, which also saves you, the viewer, from further harm.

I finally got around to finishing the gallery in terms of the the skinning. Finally! It was a tough thing trying to decide on the design and colours. I hope you like it. I know I do. I think the thing that was sort of a happy accident was in the picture of Keir with his glasses and what looks like a script. In the photo he was sitting on a staircase outside. Well the way it ended up and with the other images, Keir looks like he’s sitting right on top of the monolith from 2001. As I said, happy accident.

I’ve set up a press section for the site. The link can be found in the navigation menu at the top or directly through this link: Keir Dullea Press Archive. I’m hoping to find reviews of Keir’s films and plays to add to the archive. Right now only three articles. Sorry so little.

MISSION BACKGROUND:

YEAR: 2012
LOCATION: THE WORLD WIDE WEB
SUBJECT: ACTOR KEIR DULLEA

MISSION STATUS:
Best known for his role as Commander Dave Bowman in the Stanley Kubrick masterpiece 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, Keir has largely been underappreciated in terms of the high profile roles he should have been able to get after this astonishing film premiered in 1968, however, his face is one we know and his immortal words, “Open the pod bay doors HAL,” are iconic. Although Keir has worked for decades, this site’s aim is to establish a place for his work on the web. It’s hoped that people who didn’t know of Keir come to know of him and begin to experience anew what Keir has worked hard in accomplishing.

MISSION ANALYSIS:
I’m hoping you come along with me in the building of this site. I know for me it’s been a labor of love to bring to the net something of a permanent residence for Keir’s work and for him the man. Thanks for your time and for your love of Keir.
