This would be perfect, but since we most probably won't get it, I'd like at least a manageable website.
bjork.com doesn't work on any computer I tried, nor on Firefox, nor on Chrome. I still haven't tried the site since it came out, it's ridiculous.

[lobster]

well i didn’t mean to be a downer but i remember mod saying something about the server?
but you shouldn’t be this nostalgic
bjork.com is a 4um and a shop, basically... with sporadic official news
for everything else, i guess there are other websites / social media sites out there, like bjork.fr, 77ísland, discogs, biophiliaeducational.org ...
i don’t think we’re missing that much.
a new Q+A would be nice though.

i asked several times to have the material to re-open the section Q+A but got no answer
i am willing to redo the page if needed, but i lack the material (questions and answers).
i have recreated the lyrics section and also keep updated with the help of 4umers (http://www.bjorknet.altervista.org/lyrics).

server problems? just create a dedicated space, or create a new domain with all the historical material.
it is not difficult.
lina (and others!) has worked very hard at the site for over 10 years and it's really a shame that all is lost so!

bjork.com/unity was a site very complete and very nice and well-kept!

give us back old.bjork.com!

[tofu]

the old website was kind of perfect for me. I spent so much time on it: the album-sites, the specials, the lyrics.... of course I would be happy if this content would still be online.

but to be realistic: i think we should hope that with the next record there will be changes to the website and that they ll bring back some old features but still with a modern layout.

(i think the new website intro is beautiful but there is not much reason to be more then 1 minute on the website)

[wontonbaby]

i'm really frustrated with what's happened to the internet over the last few years. now-a-days websites just seem to be flashy with the tiniest bits of information and links to youtube and twitter. i'd much rather have an in-depth website with loads of info and subsections and archived old bits. the old.bjork.com was perfect and had had so much good work put into it by so many people and had a really unique style. it's such a shame that the new site replaced it rather than have them both side by side. the old site had all the separate album sections. well, this site could have been the vulnicura (and before it biophilia) sections while keeping all the rest.

[lobster]

if they give me all the material I work for free!

[shapeshifter]

[tofu]

and we still have bjork.fr . the closest thing to the old website (and if use google translate then it's also for us non French speakers )

You’re points are legit but you also have to have in mind that bjork.com is first and foremost, Björk’s website. Hers. Not really ours. And that it’s not something isolated from her musical work. Like everything else she does.
There is a difference in what we might expect /want as fans and the message Björk is really willing to give with it. It’s like saying the artwork / booklets of her releases should be stuck with MeCo because they were better, while Björk might prefer working with M/M Paris or someone else instead because she finds they suit her current work better.
I’m sure Lina was great and all, but it was also a website run by a fan, with the dedication of a fan, at VERY different times of the internet, which Björk thought it needed a change at the time of Biophilia (to be in accordance with the apps, etc.)
I believe the revamp the site had for Vulnicura was exactly for the same reason.
Of course, the outcome of that decision is debatable. And IMO, the inclusion of the early stuff wouldn’t do any harm (except coming across a dead link here and there and the juxtaposition of styles). But if it is not there, I believe it’s for a reason...
At least, that's my view
Maybe Mod can tell exactly why it’s not there anymore?

I agree with you.
but what we ask is only access to old.bjork.com, with all about the Bjork's career

[Anak]

new website with New era revamp and oldbjork style readditions would be a godsend

But yeah, I'd rather oldbjork just be made available again, as archive.org doesn't show it in all its glory

[lobster]

[mostico]

I add my voice to this.

i used to love that site. there's a wealth of stuff on there. spent so much time on it.

[benjicoq]

why it doesn't work?

[MartinSlovakia]

i do not mind new graphics and so... what i do miss is the content. it was such a great thing to have everything on one site... my favorite section was about and about... i really hate to read entire interviews, it was such a nice thing to have it sorted like that

[wontonbaby]

there is still this

http://archive.is/unit.bjork.com

How can I have my site's pages excluded from the Wayback Machine?

You can exclude your site from display in the Wayback Machine by placing a robots.txt file on your web server that is set to disallow User-Agent: ia_archiver. You can also send an email request for us to review to info@archive.org with the URL (web address) in the text of your message.

Why isn't the site I'm looking for in the archive?

Some sites may not be included because the automated crawlers were unaware of their existence at the time of the crawl. It's also possible that some sites were not archived because they were password protected, blocked by robots.txt, or otherwise inaccessible to our automated systems. Site owners might have also requested that their sites be excluded from the Wayback Machine.

How do you protect my privacy if you archive my site?

The Archive collects Web pages that are publicly available, the same ones that you might find as you surfed around the Web. We do not archive pages that require a password to access, pages that are only accessible when a person types into and sends a form, or pages on secure servers. Pages tagged for robots.txt exclusion (for User-Agent: ia_archiver) by their owners are excluded from the Wayback Machine. We also provide information on removing a site from the collections. Those who use the collections must agree to certain terms of use.

Some sites are not available because of robots.txt or other exclusions. What does that mean?

Such sites may have been excluded from the Wayback Machine due to a robots.txt file on the site or at a site owner’s direct request.

The Internet Archive strives to follow the Oakland Archive Policy for Managing Removal Requests And Preserving Archival Integrity

Mod, do you know if robots.txt was purposefully placed onto the specials/unit.bjork to exclude Wayback Machine from the site? None of the specials seem to work, and this has never happened before to my knowledge

i want about&about back that was so amazing. i spent hours there :'( cant we do a new about&about section? nothing online is ao complete as that!

Sent from my HUAWEI P7 mini using Tapatalk

[wontonbaby]

could the about&about bit just be taken and uploaded somewhere? even if it's not pretty, just so that we can read it somehow (archive.org only had little bits of it archived anyway)
