The site: how about some serious feedback

I am very open to suggestions- should I reduce the number- like combining the ebay and the classifieds. should I add others? Give me better names. give me some better descriptions. give me liberty or give me death.

i think the site is organized quite nicely. 4 main categories with room for subgategory growth. I wouldn't change a thing except for something to make adding photos easier or without the use of a personal website.

I am new to this type of site. I have always lurked in the darkness without participating. Thertefore, as a beginner, I can tell you that it is quite easy to figure out. I agree with Guzziguy that ease of adding pictures would be nice (as you know I do not yet have any server space of my own) I would also like a spell check but it is not mandatory.

I am not sure about adding a spell check- I haven't seen an option.

As to pics, some thoughts. Guzziguy- adding pics to your website doesn't mean that people viewing your aculpture will see them. they way to go about it would be creating a folder that there is no link on your website to, then set links from this website to those images. It shouldn't take up much space. You will need an FTP program, Unless your current software allows this already. Even Dug figured out how to FTP, so It can't be that complex.

Option two is the existence of many free web photo hosting services, it's important to find one that doesn't require logging in by outside users so everyone can see them.

option three is that most internet providers give you webspace with your e-mail, and you can use that space easily with an FTP program, I checked Optimum onlines site and it looks like they are suckers- they give you no server space.

hey, sounds like we all agree with the site organization and ease of use, not sure of the photo thing? I cannot post a photo from say a jpeg on the site? would be helpful to be able to do this, the junkie has a big thumbs up on the effort to put all of this (and us) together, thanks junkman

Dadue- you can post a photo on your webspace and link easily link to it from this site. Two ways to do this. Option one is to simply cut and past the link- then it will show up as a hot link like this

http://www.peterharrison.com/ebay/nameplate.jpg

or you can use the buttons up above the text box to add a image that appears in the post. If you mouse over the one that says "img" it will show you the correct format in the box over the text box.
