Hooper,

Nice job. Front page is nice. I started using those same templates. It takes time to get your site where you want it.

It works for me and I get the message. I'd pay $375 just to cruise around the Cape for 5 hours.

Best of all, you're a REALLY luck guy to have a spouse that shares your love of boating and fishing. Good for you.

Otto

John, Mark and Otto-

Thanks guys! I do appreciate the input. I have much to learn and I really don't know if I can or will dedicate the time it takes to learn it.

John, I tho't what you did with my site on the boat zone was really interesting, I have lots to learn.

My pictures are not so good I know. They're scans thats why. I am saving my pennies for a nice digital camera. But, the way I see it, It is a presence on the web...

As always, Thanks to the CSC site! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Hoop - you can get an adequate digital camera for $150. And it downloads quickly to practiacally any non-NT4 computer from the past 4 years...

As for the pics - you really need the best quality pics you have and do the best yu can scanning them. If the pics are good & say on Kodak paper, you can bring the negatives to a Kodak developer and they can do a pretty good job digitizing them. Sure its probably 5-10 bucks to have them digitized to CD but it's worth it if they can extract a higher level of quality from them.

I'm no expert - websites are side work to me and will hopefully & eventually contribute some to the boat fund [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] . But there are some things that can be done to clean the page up. Also, check out a lot of other sites for inspiration. Don't copy so much as look for ideas. I'd say less than 2% of the websites on the web are truly original. Just about everyone doing it is either using a canned program like Frontpage or Dreamweaver (what Trayder & I use) or some other app. And the vast majority people still get inspiration from what else is on the web. Tough to be truly original when it all boils down to a moving square with text & pictures in front of you...
