In my post about the Pisang waterfall<\/a> I wrote that about 9 years ago I came in contact with Khong. He had started a website about Malaysian waterfalls, but had recently become more interested in birding. We became friends and I took over the maintenance of the waterfall site. On 28-10-2003, we registered the domain name waterfallsofmalaysia.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Khong had used several free web hosting services for his site, so my first task was to integrate all his material in this new site with a new design. In the beginning only falls in Peninsular Malaysia, later Sarawak and Sabah were added. Here is the original design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the past nine years the number of waterfall pages has increased from about 75 to more than 150. Also there have been many structural changes like a news section and the possibility to add comments. This is the present design<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For more information about the history of the site and the members of my team, click here<\/a>. The website is quite popular and attracts on average ~ 1000 visitors daily. Regularly I receive email from visitors, asking for more information, or with suggestions for new waterfalls. It is a nice hobby, some friends nickname me the Godfather of the Malaysian Waterfalls, LOL<\/p>\n

One year ago I added a script to the site, that gives nice statistics<\/a> about the website visitors and where they come from. Below is a screenshot, taken on November 16.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A total of 300.000 visitors coming from 160 different countries. It is interesting to see the geographical distribution. Not surprisingly most visitors come from Malaysia (75%) and Singapore (12%).\u00a0 USA is third (4%). But there have also been visitors from Cape Verde, Kyrgyzstan, the Aland Islands etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
