Folks - just a quick FYI. I have been updating my website for yonks and finally got finished over the xmas break. I've more images to add but would appreciate any feedback.

Cheers

Well done Dave thats a good looking site! Might I suggest you avoid using mailto: as you'll end up with tonnes of spam. Better to use a feedback form.

I've put a link to your site in my links section. BTW anyone else got a site I can include?

Regards and Clear Skies,

Good idea about the linking, must do the same for TAS's site.

Your Events page needs to be updated. ;)

I reckon you should add a link on your Welcome page to your Supernova confirmation (and include your article that you wrote), as it is still (relatively) big news, and a credit to you. IMO, it wouldn't appear anal at all! :)

Looks good. I'm a big fan of the KISS principle, clear, well laid out websites without needless bells and whistles are by far the easiest to use and the nicest to look at, well done!

Cheers folks - appreciate the positive feedback.

Dave G - I like getting email about extending bodily parts :lol: In fairness, I have a spam filter and I rarely get more than one dodgy mail every other day. Maybe I'm just lucky. Or not... :wink: And thanks for linking in - appreciate it. I think you're webtreatz.com? Let me know and I'll return the favour.

Seanie - link for the SN article is on the home page - not very clear I guess - I'll jazz it up a bit. I still get a lot of hits on the SN image so I guess you're right that folks are still interested. And you're dead right about the events page. I kinda let it go while I was doing the redesign. But now I have it sorted, I'll be putting in info for all events as they arise.

Bart - I use the KISS principle 'cos I don't have the time I'm afraid! But I'd agree totally with you - the best sites are the simplest ones.

On a final note, there's a few other images to go in - especially some of my later ones which are big improvements on what's there - whoever said astrophotography was a steep learning curve underestimated it... I've been at it nearly twoyears now and I'm still learning :D

Cheers again

Dave

Its a good site Dave.
The images of the scope and mount are just amazing! :shock:
I reckon you could bolt on a deck chair to the top of the mount and sit in it holding binoculars, goto binoculars. :lol:
