My new website and blog: please take a peek (oh, go on!)

[Andrew INT]

Hi All,

Something I've been meaning to do for absolute yonks is to set up a simple website and blog that is informative and light-hearted.

If you have the time, please feel free to give me any developmental feedback. It has only been produced and published today, so if is far from the wealth of information I hope it becomes!

Many thanks for looking.

Kindest regards,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Looking good really like the moon / Saturn occultation image

There is a spelling mistake on the menu buttons (should be Contact me).

Cheers

+1 on the moon/Saturn image, bet you loved seeing that. Nice site, well set up, but take a look at your main nav bar - 'Comtact Me' ;-)

It's updated here, fast work sir. Maybe a dark skies section? Good luck with the site!

Good work Andrew, well done.

Not sure what you want to include but a suggestion would be forthcoming TV programmes.

Looks great. Especially for a WiX site!!! Looks like it certainly has a great future Very nice, clean layout. 

Did notice one typo though.

"In the future, this webcam will probably be paired with the 102mm refractor as and auto guider."

I will certainly be keeping an eye on this site.

Hello Andrew. Nice start to what looks like becoming what you have set out to do, create an interesting and informative website. Rather than turn this thread into a marking exercise can I suggest you have a careful read through again, you write well so I'm sure you will recognise several typos still outstanding and probably overlooked in your excitement.

That's a nice site, keep it going.

I spotted this...  I use a heave HEQ5 mount at the main work-horse.  at... http://andrewrichens.wix.com/astro-nerd#!equipment/c5dt

You could use MS Word to write and spell check your content and then copy and paste it into your pages. It should help a lot with issues like this.

And who said it was easy being a webmaster! Keep up the good work.

Thanks folks for all the feedback. Wix is a bit of a pain since it doesn't have a spell checker for typos! I shall crack on later and remove them. Many thanks. I will also follow Miguel's top tip and write everything in Word first!

Hope you all had a splendid Christmas!

Kindest regards,

Andrew
