A Little Mystery And Former Competitions

You can see here a small picture displaying four nice miniature bottles:

Do you know which bottles are on the original photo (the most left one is easy to find out, isn't it)?
If you can't solve the mystery just move your mouse cursor over the picture.

And here are inks to former (closed) competions:

Site History


If you've visited my site in 1997-1998, you perhaps remember the old layout (using no frames). After more than 1.000 hits to these pages in about six months I've decided in 1999 to change the layout and use frames to be more up-to-date and to learn some new things. At the end of the past "millennium" (it was the Word Of The Year in Germany) I got the domain MINIBOTTLES.com and so - after more than 7.000 hits on my previous web site in one year - I decided to renew my web presence. And after again about 40.000 visits www.MINIBOTTLES.com uses again a frameless site concept based on htmls with include files, some very simple css and some JavaScript (online since July 2004). Since June 2005 I use partially a dynamic site generation using MySQL database and PHP. In June 2008 there was the complete switch from sHTML to PHP and some new design. And this is what you can see here and now ...
