Update site new pictures new site

So back again after Saturday evenings session. I went to Ironbridge of Sunday and met lots of people but although I did not sell any photos have been able to start work on a new project which if all goes well will bring me in some income. I will set up a website for the fayre and maintain it and it should help me do some more stuff. Anyway that will take a little working on.

I have been over the last week or so been making some changes to the site as I have talked about in previous missives. I have probably done most of the changes that I can do at the moment. I have changed the fonts on the main pages and had experiment with setting up a guest book. I am not sure what I have done wrong but as yet it does not work and so I have taken it out. Maybe a little more learning or it could even be that I will have to look at getting some outside help. I have already asked a couple of people for advice and need to think about what to do next.

I have also put up some new pictures, when I say new I mean more that I have not put them up before, though some are actually new. I have put up one of my oldest pictures. I have been taking pictures of teasels for years and have never seen another one where the flowers are spread over the surface like this


In comparison the most recent additions to the collection in terms of the date taken are city pictures.

I took this in Birmingham at the end of September. I like the straight lines and the lead up to sky. Anyway I like it. I would print it out properly just to see what it looks like on paper , but my printer has run out of ink. It is quite scary watching it print out on photo paper at the best quality print settings and watching the ink run out. I have got the XL cartridges from HP. but it seems to go through them at an alarming rate. Anyway at the moment I have not much ink in the cartridge so I don't think a print run is in the offing.

I am sitting here trying to work out what to say next. I am not sure about what to do to improve my site. I do need a way of selling, I think a price list and proper contact page with may be even a shopping cart... mmm not sure yet. I am not yet convinced that this is the best way to show off my wares as it were. It is a good starting point and I think in the long run I will need to put more info about each picture. Also I do need to think about marketing this and the pictures over a longer period of time. It has only been a month and I am still learning. So it is nearly bed time so I am off until next time.
