How time flies! It seems like yesterday that Absolutely Sophia Myles had been celebrating being online for half a decade and already another year’s passed. For the occasion I finished coding a new layout for the website.
A while ago members of the messageboard had the opportunity to create a layout for the site. In the end only one was submitted – but what a gorgeous layout this is! Luna designed the graphics – many thanks! – which in turn highly influenced my coding. I’ve been going over everything so I think it should all work – but please let me know if you encounter any problems.
What else is new? In the sidebar I replaced the random quotes by Sophia Myles with new orginal ones. Enjoy!
It was also time to change the poll question. Since January 2, 2009, 766 of the site’s visitors have answered the question ‘What’s your favourite character?‘. The result was overwhelmingly clear: 515 people (or 67%) chose Beth Turner from ‘Moonlight‘. The other top choices were Isolde (‘Tristan & Isolde‘) with 18% and Reinette (‘Doctor Who‘) with 9%. But only 1% or 10 people prefer the character of Kate Breck in ‘Hallam Foe‘ to all others. See all results here. As of now there’s a new poll open for voting in the sidebar: What kind of movie would you like to see Sophia in next?

TheAD posted some exciting information about the upcoming UK release of Sophia’s latest movie ‘Outlander‘ on his website recently:
Oultander will debut in the United Kingdom on April 22nd. Momentum pictures has great confidence in the potential for the film and is busy developing a hefty slate of promotional plans and we can say with confidence that you can expect another trailer in short order. As well, the’ve set up a website over at www.outlandermovie.co.uk which should go live soon with numerous activities and things of interest.
Sounds like the film will see a theatrical release with much deserved promotion in Sophia’s homecountry.
And today is a memorable day for Sophia Myles fans! It’s been 29 years since our favourite actress first saw the light of day. We all hope you are spending it with your loved ones and wish you lots of love, happiness, peace – simply all the best – for today and all the days to come!
Officially since July 2008 the members of the messageboard and other Sophia fans have been busy putting together a fan project to let Sophia know how much we admire her. In time for her birthday we then sent it to Sophia. An official dossier of what it looked like will be on this site soon. For everyone who participated and is anxious to know about the status of the project: we have had word that it reached her on time. She is touched by it and reading it has made her so happy.

We have a beautiful new layout across all our pages – designed by Natalie from Elements-Inc.net. What do you all think? I hope you love it as much as I do!
Best display is in Firefox. However, I’ve really tried to make the layout work in all kinds of browsers. Please let me know if you come across any bugs. Thank you!
And the gallery is back! A HUGE thank you to Gertie from Fan-Sites.org for hosting our extensive photo & media archives. I’ve been extremely busy transferring all the files to the new server and I hope you won’t come across missing files. If you do please let me know. Over the coming hours also the Public Appearances, Television and TV Appearances categories should be filled with pictures. Another big thank you to Pure Vowels for your help with the adapting of the photo & video layouts.

As you can see there’s a totally new look here at Absolutely Sophia Myles! Not only that but I’ve also kind of re-done the whole site. I’ve been very happy with the previous version – but basically everything was pretty much following the original setup of 4 years ago. As time went by I learnt a lot more about web design and so I decided to take a good look at this site here and work on it as if I’d be taking over from someone else.
All the news are now being posted using a fabulous script called Wordpress. I’ve transferred all the 315 previous updates – thus making the whole site content available. In addition to the new category/tag system you can also see related posts after each update as well as browse the News Archive. All of this should make it a lot easier to find what you are looking for.
I’ve also taken out my Sophia DVD and clippings collection and made much better quality screencaptures of all Sophia projects & DVD extras & scanned not only most of the magazine pictures again but also all of the accompanying articles. I’ve also come across some magazine features I had previously not had in the gallery. So feel free to browse the Photo Gallery to enjoy all the new additions & changes.
If you would like to receive updates on new additions please Register.
I’m not completely done here, however. I’m still adding the final touches on the Projects section and am not done adding all the old affiliates. Expect that to be finished within the next few days.
What do yo think? Please comment! Credit for all of the beautiful layouts goes to talented web desinger Samantha!

I’ve been away for a few days – that’s part of the reason why there hasn’t been an update for so long, and also why the comments were closed for a while. I’m very proud to present you this sixth version of Absolutely Sophia Myles and a very BIG thank you goes to Mycah who designed the beautiful layout! What do you think of it? Please comment!

After far too long the SophiaMyles.org & SophiaMyles.co.uk Messageboard is back online! It looks slightly different but we hope you’ll quickly find your way around the new system. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have a question or encounter a problem!
You’re very welcome to join the discussion. Expect an even better look soon!I’ve also been working on an exclusive collection of icons for this site. They’re available in the gallery but they’re also linked to the messageboard. For information on how to use them in the board read this topic.

Here’s the new layout! What do you think? I felt a change was needed, also this new layout should be more gender-neutral in terms of colour. I actually first wanted to wait with the new layout until I’ve finished the Projects section, but as I don’t know how much time I will have over the coming days to work on the site I decided to put it online already. But I will finish the section over the next few weeks. Together with the new layout I also have a new gallery system that is much easier to update. Please leave your comments, they’re well appreciated!
