ARTWORK LINK

I have an incredibly primitive embroynic website up and sort of running. Anyone interested in having a look-see, there's some thumbnails of the pieces I've been working on. There's more to come. There's a crap guestbook at the bottom for anyone who wants to leave any non-offensive comments such as 'wow, you're the greatest.'

Looks like your site is already popular, I got this message:

The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer. Visit our help area for more information.
Access to this site will be restored within an hour. Please try again later.

James, those free Geocities sites are wank (especially when you are showing pictures). Normally, one maybe two people can look at the site then it'll be down for an hour. You're better off paying for your hosting. It'd only cost you about a fiver a month for a good enough package. Ask 'Real Deal' how much he pays and with whom, he never has any problems with his site.

Angelfire or Freeservers for web space, perhaps

fornicating great, that was a big fat waste of time then. I just wanted to get something up and running quickly without any fuss or having to pay for web space until I needed it. I know naff all about web design guess it's time I learnt really.

Honestly, It's quite a piece of piss. If you can manage without any razzmatazze and 3D boxers having animated orgies on your homepage and stuff, just get a book on 'How to make your own website' with HTML or something. It takes you through the steps, and with just the basics you can have a smart looking site. It should give you info on what server and host etc. to use.

Problem is, I don't really have a time, what with day job, writing articles, producing artwork, doesn't really leave much time to learn HTML. As all I need is a very basic website for now, I can use those crappy pagebuilders you get with website hosting for now, until such time as I need a better site.

I've a feeling that is going to be a particular favourite. Leave some feedback on the guestbook, thats if the site is still up.

Anyone know of any free hosting services with better data transfer packages for the time being?

No bandwidth restrictions AFAIK.
U can get good ideas just browsing the member pages & it seems a good place to learn as they help each other out.

What are the sizes of these prints James? And are you offering them framed?

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 16 May 2005, 08:29

Yes I will be doing them framed. The posters vary in size.

The largest is A2 size, though some of them are square and will come at 60x60 cm, or 30x30 cm. The largest size, including the frame, will be a whopping 100cm x 70 cm.

I've yet to figure out the cost of delivery, but in the next couple of weeks will sort that all out.
