NEW WEBSITE!! :-)

Post by **AndrewSkinner** » Mon Feb 25, 2008 12:14 am

Hey Guys! Since I can't work on my car for a few weeks as I am at uni I have decided to make a website for it!

It’s not completed yet but it’s getting there.

It’s all about me, my Morris and all the other crazy projects that I manage to get tangled up in!!

Hope you guys like it and any suggestions would be greatly received

Good work. One suggestion would be to edit out the huge number of exclamation marks, and another would be a spot of proof reading to weed out the spelling errors

I'm a fussy sod when it comes to language though...

Thanks for the tips bigginger. Yeah I realise I use way too many exclamation marks and the text was only written tonight so needs proof reading and probably allot of adjusting.

Thanks for looking at it. I think you will be horrified when you get to the 'Other projects' page! It is very long so I am planning on splitting that up into several pages.

Didn't read that page in its entirety - I'll go back to it

It's best, btw, to use exclamation marks just for exclamations, not as a sort of highlighting device. Enough from me

haha. No please keep it coming. Its all good because I can then take this away and make my website better. This feedback is critical.

Don't caravans make a huge mess when you chop em up? Used a £60 ebay special to make our car transporter

General presantation of the site looks good and really clean.

Large blocks of text with no images or linkys can seem a bit heavy going though.

Lawnmower racing hey - have a Suffolk Punch and an Atco sitting here that could maybe do with a bit more speed, as they only go at that classic 'just a bit too fast for walking'' speed

That is a cracking website, really enjoyed reading it

I particularly enjoyed the bit about how you came to own your Morris (great story) and thought the font type/size/layout very easy to follow.

Do you take the Morris to Hull with you?

Looking forward to the "Morris Adventures" page

Dear Spag, Yes the caravan did make a monstrous mess! There was polystyrene everywhere, sheet aluminium littering the floor all around us, and before we started there was also a complete interior and a load of rubbish inside. We simply took the aluminium to a scrap metal place and got £20 for it all and then burned all the wood from the interior etc we could. After that all the polystyrene insulation was taken to the tip in the trusty moggy

Lawnmower racing involved removing the engine limiter, tuning it and replacing the final drive gear ratio. After this they go like stink.

MrBenn thank you for your comments. I am glad you enjoyed it so much, it needs to be neatened up allot and spags idea of breaking up the text a bit will be a good idea. I will keep updating it as much as I can

Was a round of racing in Kent last year at a transport show, so watched a lot of that.

Keep up the good work on the site anyway, and let us know of changes !

I like it! Very well laid out. Interesting to find another person with a Moggy for a first proper driver... I agree, a few too many !s, but otherwise very good. Entertaining to read too- how'd you design it, out of interest? I'm thinking of setting one up!

Thanks Jack, I need to go through it and delete some of the '!' lol. Didnt realise quite how many I put in

Its very easy, there are several websites out there that allow you to create a website and host it for free. I am useless on a computer but theses websites also offer a web-making facility. Very simple to use and effective. You simply choose all the things you want and edit it.

The two main websites I know of are;
www.Freewebs.com
www.weebly.com - the on I am using

Thanks! I'll have a look.
