Nice site mate!
If you want some genuine critique then i would say that embedding rather than linking to pictures would be the best thing to do. Some people ( present company accepted of course ) are genericly lazy and won't be bothered to look at your fantastic craftmanship. The only other think i find with geocities sites are that you can never stop the popups or get the site to fill the page without advertising. This may be my lack of computer skills though.
All the best

Thanks for the constructive criticism bilko. I will embed the pictures into the articles soon, but I think geocities have a limit on the amount of pictures one can upload, unfortunately.

I will remove the ads by paying for the site later, when I get a secure income.

all the best.

Very professional dude.

Same thing regarding linking to pictures. I like your personal approach to things (writing in a personal perspective, etc.). Let us know when you've added more articles, reviews etc. (I loved the SAMK bit).

ooh ... and you've seem to have forgotten to add a link to BCUK :yikes:

All the best mate,



Johan

 

[TheViking]

Thanks Ahjno.

New article added BTW: Review of 'Bushcraft' by Mors Kochanski.

I like.........I like..... keep up the good work!

 

[ilovemybed]

Indeed a very good site!

I'd avoid embedding the pictures, to be honest. They hog bandwidth and make it horrible if you're using a slow connection. Why not put thumbnail images in, so they load quickly, which link to the larger original image if someone's interested?

You can also host your images elsewhere - Photobucket.com is a good place - and then embed them using the same technique as you would in a message on this forum.

Ps. I'm no expert - I bet there's someone on here who can give you more detail...

Rgds,
Neil

 

[TheViking]

Yep, my thoughts too. Adding a small thumbnail which links to a larger version of the image. But one must still be able to see what the thumbnail is.

I will release a complete fire by friction tutorial next weekend hopefully. Just need my new set to dry.

If you are going to do book or video views, it is worth becoming a Amazon Associate, you might not make any money but it is useful for linking to their site.

Good site.

 

[TheViking]

New article now added - 'How to keep comfortable in the wilderness'

and 3 images to the gallery.

Review of scouting for boys added tonight:http://www.geocities.com/anderswilderness/Scoutingforboys.html

Site is looking good.

If you require some webspace, give me a shout, can give you some non-advertisement space no probs


cheers,

if you want a cheap domain name like www.anderswidernesssite.com maybe
i used this company before and they are very cheap, but make sure you read the contract if you want to cancel the account as you must notify them well before renewal other wise they will automatically take payment (as i found out the hard way )

www.1and1.co.uk

Great site a some interesting stuff to - keep it up

 

[TheViking]

I have just updated the gallery with a few pictures and added a new section: tips & tricks for wilderness living.

 

[TheViking]

Now there's added an easy feedback formular to help improve the site.

 

[Stuart]

you dont appear to have a link to BushcraftUk on your links page?

 

[P@ul]

Great site, I have added it to my favorites so I can keep up todate with new articles. I did however have a problem trying to get back to the home page and received the following message:

"The GeoCities web site you were trying to view has temporarily exceeded its data transfer limit. Please try again later. "

Paul

 

[TheViking]

It's added now. Some of my pages were accidentally deleted some time ago in the filemanager.

P@ul, it's because the site has had too many visitors today, it will be up in 50 minutes again or thereabouts.

I will buy a domain name (.com) and get much more data transfer today.

 

[TheViking]

The new address is www.bushcraftskills.com
I will be working on the site most of the night to transfer the pages from the old site to the new.

BTW, now there's 100 gb of data transfer per month and 2000 mb space.
