NZOrgan.com website transfer progress

Since the organ was installed in 1997, I have lived with this website and tried to tame it into submission. Now, in 2015, it  has fallen behind the fashions and developments of html, CSS and all the other gobbledygook that I've learned to contend with. Pages have fallen by the wayside, links occasionally don't work, and the look of it? EEEK. 
So now I am transferring the entire site over to the new Weebly system. It's a loooooong process. The main categories are now up, with the installation pictures and the extension pictures mostly in place. Now the real work of shifting the content such as David Bridgeman-Sutton's wonderful Musings and Amusings article over, as well as the amazing collection of reviews. It's incredible how many have accumulated over the years, from David, Philip Bailey, Peter Wilding, Grant Vicat and others. It would be a shame to lose these, so it will get done. It just won't get done over night.
The latest additions have been the Musings and Amusings articles, and the  sound samples, which I am adding snippet by snippet.  So much more to be done, and at last despairing calculation I figured I had completed about 4% of the entire transfer.
It's at times like this when I wonder what possessed me to start this website; but then, it's what happens when you get a bee in your bonnet about something. The Rieger organ in the Town Hall just happens to be my particular buzzy creature.
