Re: My New Site... 'London Invertebrates'

Thanks Roy and Davy

Yes, it's taken a lot of work... several hours per day, for the last 14 days or so - and that's just the skeletal stage, creating and linking pretty empty pages! I've now decided to use bigger photos as above, which means setting the pop-ups to new dimensions and adding additional width on each of the species' pages. I then need to find all 600+ images from my hard drive, crop then re-compress and re-link them as they'll have different names

I'm sure I'll be after additional images, thanks. For now, I have about 10gb of bandwidth, so I can't use too many... but when it's reached a stage when all the pages are there albeit often blank, I'll be able to say. Also, it's based around London's wildlife so it'll take some research too.

So, on to attraction. Everyone, ideally! I need to use more photos on the Database page as I hope to attract and interest those who perhaps have seen something for the first time or someone who wants to know how many other flies there are barr blubottles, but then provide taxonomic information such as groupage to enable people to stay with it as their knowledge from various sources grows. The intention is to provide the information on each species I know of, including the lesser-researched species, or those without much literature such as aphids and mites - and put all that information in the one place.

I plan on putting a small photo above each family listed, kind of to represent each group so's to enable a casual observer to get to the species they may have seen or want to learn about.

Finally, the guestbook works OK for me, so I'll look into it - it could be the fact it's embedded as opposed to being launched normally - and consider a link to open it normally, instead.

Thanks for looking all, it's appreciated!
