I have done it all by myself, and boy – was it a hell ride. After two weeks of 20 hour work days, 100 packs of Marlboro (you shouldn’t smoke), and 1 gallon of coffee, the results are finally here. Offcourse, there are still some minor things I need to do manually, like inserting Youtube videos, updating flash animations and assigning categories to each individual post, but this should all be done before the following week ends!

I still need a little help from your guys. What I need from you, is following – please report :

  • all the broken links you encounter
  • all the broken pages
  • missing pictures (X images)
  • if your widgets are working properly
  • have the widgets properly brought you here?
  • are you still seeing the old website?
  • anything you think might be important, errors, problems, etc…

To keep you entertained, here are some goodies I have implemented to this new site:

  • you can now rate all the posts (inside each post), so go on – rate all your favorite illusions! later we will add top illusions page, where all the best stuff will be shown, based on top ratings
  • you can now comment with your Facebook login, your new comments can optionally (if you approve) be seen to your friends in Facebok feed – try it, and please report if it worked for you
  • check the archives, and search! you will see how good the results appear ;)

And now for today’s illusion. Just to test if the image appeared in your widgets, gadgets and stuff…

In the mean time, this blog has grown rapidly, and became more successful with each day. There were dozen of mentions of this site in the newspapers, TV stations, internet portals, blogs and magazines. Unfortunately, we’ve started collecting these shouts only recently. So far we caught Mighty Optical Illusions website featured by following top destinations, both online and offline:

June, 1st 2010 – Yahoo is not just one of the biggest search engines out there, it also produces content and behaves as sort of a news portal. On Monday they introduced new category to their Yahoo Games section, called “Brain Teasers and Optical Illusions“. We are proud to announce Yahoo chose us as their main optical illusions provider, and publishes our content regularly! Be sure to head there, and check if you might have missed something!

August, 7th 2009 – The news giant BBC weekly produces a TV show called “Click”,  which airs in the UK on the channel “BBC News” along with cut-down versions shown on “BBC One” as well. Webscape is a section hosted by Kate Russel near the end of it, where Kate gives her latest selection of the best sites on the World Wide Web. “Mighty Optical Illusions” website was one of her latest picks, and you can watch the full video reportage here. I would be lying, if I said I wasn’t flattered by this action from BBC. Apparently the show is aired on “BBC World” as well. Hope you managed to see it!

April, 14th 2009 – Web portal Yahoo has suggested Mighty Optical Illusions RSS feed to all of it’s users across the globe. My Yahoo is a service similar to iGoogle, where you can add widgets, subscribe to RSS feeds, and add all kinds of quality content. It is used as a starting destination for all Yahoo registered users. The advantage of my Yahoo RSS reader is that it shows image icon from our latest post as well. In a way it works like the iGoogle gadget we published before. Yahoo suggested it’s users to subscribe to our RSS feed, using the following words: “A daily trick of the eye can amuse and stimulate your brain“. You may see the screenshot below, and open the image on your left to view it in full.
