Web site down!

I'll show the DH that, and he can look into it for me.

I 'fix' all the photos using photoshop. Once taken, they are cropped (sometimes severely) and then resized up or down to show the thing I want to show at the best screen size. All photos are as small as I can get them without losing the detail I'm trying to show.

One thing I have to consider if we shift ISP is the business side: present details are in Yellow Pages, and it's too late to change that for this year, I think...

I'd suggest buying a solid domain name

with hosting, then with your existing outfit, have a relatively basic page with the business-related bare bones stuff on it and a link to the new "real" site.

I already have the domain name, but we haven't activated it yet - that will come with the update. I don't aim to do much business through the site - it's 'show & tell' space. I like to keep some projects up there for potential customers to browse, but all work comes from direct contact, either via Yellow Pages or word of mouth. I get plenty that way on the bridal and posh frock side, and even the re-enactors (who can come from further afield) usually contact me that way, though there are contact points on the site. I do NOT need the hassles of internet sales or the expense of a proper commercial site!

I know what you mean - that wasn't what I was trying to suggest. I just got the impression that you had a URL on your YP listing that you were un-keen to lose. That sounded to me like a good opportunity to put up some bread-and-butter stuff to pad out the YP ad with a link to the rest. A lot of people confuse their ISP with their web-site host - they don't have to be the same people - apologies for the error.

The sneaky rat! Terry had done that for me! He's the friend who got it for me. Lovely man - designes web sites for a living.

[much snipped]

There are forwarding agents who give you a permanent address for customers/corespondants to use, transfer that mail to whatever real address you happen to be at. Not very expensive, but still might be U$100 a year. For your next Yellow Page incarnation...

This stuff adds up, yes?

If it's not on fire, it's a software problem.

Too right! I don't aim to do any real business through the site, so need to keep expenses down...

Are you taking down the playmobil battle? My kids enjoyed that.

Ditto that. I pay next to nothing for mine, just so my eBay links don't change every time I have a hissy and change ISP's.

I use SupremeHost.net. They have really good customer service, and a "catch-all" email address system.

Oh, that's dead easy. I have ..... ummm.... 6 treadle sewing machines? I have a Singer 401 to go into a treadle, too. I enjoy sewing on a treadle, much more than on a lecktrick.
