World Doodle Project
It has been some time since Doodlelong last got my attention but today I got a lovely e-mail from Annette who has enticed me to revisit the site and post this message.
Annette runs a website called the World Doodle Project. Its purpose is to celebrate doodles and doodling creativity. Instead of providing a means to purposely doodle online, like we do here, Annette is trying to capture those doodles that people draw day to day in their natural surroundings. You know, the kind you do when on the phone at work or when day-dreaming unknowingly.
The site has a gallery of doodles submitted by people from different walks of life. There are doodles by doctors, architects, artists and more... demonstrating there's creativity in all of us whether we actively tap into it or not. It'll be interesting to see, as the project's collection expands, whether different professions show patterns of doodling in certain ways.
So if you have any interesting doodles lying around, consider scanning them in and uploading them to the World Doodle Project.

New! Gallery Area
Now you can browse through the 10,000+ doodles of doodlelong and it's FUN!
Let's face it, one doodle at a time along a slow, scrolling frame isn't a winner when you have this many. While it's still important that we exhibit doodlelong as one loong-ass continuous doodle, now there's another way too.
So checkout the new Gallery page which also doubles as a showcase for the prestigious "Highlights" (much better than what-was the fiddly page navigation cramped in the side bar).
Note also that a few other changes to the site have been made. We've dropped the Contacts page, moving its brief details to bottom of the About page. And we've re-labeled the "Home" page to "Doodle!" because it makes a lot more sense (and looks cooler).

Back to Australia
Doodlelong has moved servers (again). It's now back in its home country, Australia. Why? Well because the US-based hosting that we switched to some time ago hasn't been working out. For those that noticed the website being a bit flakey lately, things should be much better now.

Doodlelong on the Wii
Since the addition of the Flash 7 compatible version of doodlelong you can use it with many more devices than before. One of them is Nintendo's Wii console.
The Wii's Internet Channel has just been updated by Opera, the company that develops its browser technology. As far as we can tell, Doodlelong works flawlessly on it compared with a desktop PC and that's something to be proud of. Many other websites we've checked out, particuarly those using Flash, seem to have issues displaying correctly (or even at all).
If you decide to give it a go, you'll notice a message replaces the doodlelong flash object when you first visit the site. Contained within that there is a link to the version of doodleong that will work on the Wii.
Let us be the first to say, doodling with a Wiimote is not easy!
