Clare, I found a couple of other little details that you might want to change:

- On the Retouching page, you don't have a link to go directly to the examples. You do on each of the other pages under Restoration & Retouching.

- On the Tonal Correction and Red Eye pages, you do have links to the example page, but you've removed the examples from that page. Perhaps this is just temporary, but it's a bit confusing.

The change in your CSS works perfectly!

Thanks Jeanie,

I had over looked the red eye and tonal corrections pages, I will change this until I get the examples out there, and add a link on the retouching page.

Glad that the CSS is now working, I must get round to reading the other books, I have a bunch of fliers to print today so I will probably spend that time reading more info.

Thanks for the continued help, my appreciated

Clare,

If you need any help with getting your site to rank better with the major search engines, I would be happy to help you. That is one of the services I offer.

Your site looks pretty nice.

Thanks Paul,

Any help would be greatfully recieved, I think google is still running with my old sites meta tags so I suppose it will take a little while to get the new to replace the old. I will have to sit down and spend a day trawling through the web and resubmitting my site. Any help would be great.

At the moment my laptop is down, I had to have it replaced by the company as within 2 weeks of owning it a pixel had gone

As I do all my web design on the lap top I will have to spend quite a few hours replacing all my settings and getting all my programs up and running. So I am back to the main PC and having lost loads of settings, and my web program (I just need to reinstal) I am a little lost at the moment, It will take me all day to find all the data and be up and running. SO any time saving options would be much appreciated - thanks for the support. I also lost all my bookmarks for web sites I have collected..... Here I go a web searching.....

Any help would be great, sorry about the messy reply I don't feel like I slept and my brains a bit foggy, think I will go make some more coffee

Clare,

Let me know when you get "back up and running" I would need a list of your current meta tags as well as some other info from you.

Hope you get your new laptop soon!

Paul

Clare I really like your Menu link system. Your site is so clean and to the point. I hope you get your laptop back and reconfigured soon. I know how that is, I hate having to change my PCs just after you get everything like it and then have to start over. I'm waiting to get replacement hard drive controller on my main PC. I can't believe that will hold out until the replacement arrives. But maybe I'll get lucky. I have no shortage of PCs to use, its just that this one has everything I need and it's all configured like I like it.

Kevin,
Thanks for the kind words. I was after a clean but not clinical look to the site without confusing graphics, so that the main emphisis was on the work and the images, hopefully this is what I achived. One of my main design problems was making the site interesting for a 3 parts of the business, restoration, commissions and the image library. I am still a little unsure as to whether I have fully achieved this but I suppose time will tell.

Paul,
I can send you all the meta details that are currently on the site, but it is pretty long. what are the other bits of information that you need? I will gather it all together and send you an email - or post it here, which is best for you?

Thanks for the help

Clare

Hopefully I will be up and running with the new laptop by the end of the week

Paul Rupp · #38 03-06-2003, 09:42 AM

Clare,

You can send me the e-mail, that would be fine.

Well it has taken all weekend and most of this morning, I still am not entirely happy with the internet connection sharing between my laptop and the gateway computer, (I haven't even tried the conection with my main PC

) but the good news is I am up and running again. So I can concentrate on my meta and page content. I need to update a few pages with some more images - this will probably take place at the end of the week as I have so much to catch up on..... this is crazy

So here it goes,

Clare

At a place i used to work, I had to rebuild, from scratch, 12 training computers every other week!!

Rebuilding your own is a much more daunting task. Locating software that you had, registration numbers and the lot. Not a fun process.

Hope it all works well.

Paul

clare · #41 03-10-2003, 06:12 PM

It all seems to still be working but I haven't tried turning it all off and back on.... I wanted to make good use of the internet before it posibily disapeared again

I have found while upgrading one of my gallery pages a whole set of links that go to the wrong place. Unfortunately it seems like my server update might be down at the moment - I have been trying to update and correct these links all night but I still can't seem to link

I will try again tomorrow - hopefully I will beable to correct these errors.

Where I have changed my site I have had quite a lot of broken links reported to me via my stats server, does anyone know how long the search engines will take to repair there links? Should I put up the pages again with a forwarding links to my revised site?

Thanks
Clare

Paul Rupp · #42 03-10-2003, 09:31 PM

Placing a forwarding link would be the fastest way to get people to your site from the search engines. They update often, but they do not look at your pages every time. Also, if they find a broken link, they will remove it intirely.

Thanks Paul,

I have been through and replaced all the missing links with my index page - I know this is probably not quite the right way to do this but I thought I would remove them as soon as google has located the correct pages. I think I have replaced them all but if anyone finds a missing link, I would really apreciate if you could post the page name and I will update my site ..... Thanks

I have also updated my floral gallery pages - there are now 6 pages of images - most were created with the SD9 - hope you like the new stuff
