Hi All,
it's totaly against the spririt of Usenet, but here goes....

At last! I've got the on-line shop up and running, complete
with secure payment! Hoorah! Joyous trumpet fanfares, etc!

The postage bit doesn't work yet (got to weigh everything!)
but orders over £75.00 are free to the UK (with one or two
exceptions, like half-chassis etc which we can negotiate
about).

<Insert marketing type speel about how wonderful this is
for our customers here>

You can still e-mail or phone if you prefer of course.

Somehow I don't think writing press-releases is my forte.....

Cheers

Richard this is excellent news.

Can you please provide me with an indicative postage cost to Greece for
items weighting 3, 5, 10 and 30 or more kilos?

I do have an account with TNT so I may also be able to arrange things from
my side for the lighter items or I can also ask you to send them to my
carriers in London (for the heavy or bulky items) or I can ask them to come
and pick them up from you.

I assume that New Zealand being a British colony will also qualify for
free freight. :)

And why does the nearside top quarter of the top right light blue

Is not useable if you turn off images. All the alt texts say "[Home]"
rather that what or where the box takes you... Mind you my browser
dosn't show the alt text if you turn off images, I wonder if it shows
title instead? This is an Netscape/IE thing (again...).

Thanks for the link to the Invicta landrover club web site , as you say, a
nice bunch of lads (and lasses) of which I was a member till I relocated
back to Yorkshire from Kent.

Nice one, if you need any pro website design, the bloke who did ours is very
good & not silly money

Ours is www.meridianfire.co.uk

Not that I'm saying yours looks crap, but if you want to polish it up he
could help!

Interesting ;)

The n/s vehicle indicator to the right of the page flashes as the o/s
indicator to the left of the page should. The small line above the right
image can be easily removed by editing the lranim2.gif, (I've just done it)
this is easy enough to do with an image manipulating package.

Haven't noticed any black blobs on the wipers though.
The crankshaft image lranim9.gif requires a few more frames adding to
make it run smoother it only has five frames.
The crankshaft is also too large or thick on a couple of these frames
giving the appearance of it jumping up and down, I've played with this
image and managed to get it running smoothly, but I've not altered the
shaft size so the image still jumps.

I've found the home image broken, possibly due to a missing image on the
server but I've not checked?.

Analysing the images show a reference to Netscape 2.0 for some reason
but I've no idea why.

Ha! I once had a bloke tell me how much better sales would be
with a professional site. He was absolutely certain - until I
said "ok - you do it for free and I'll give you a cut of the
*increased* sales". Funnily enough I never heard from him again.

Seriously though, I'm of the content rather than look school of
thought. I may be wrong, but thats me......

No, I don't think so, you see many sites crammed with content, but with
user interfaces that look cutesy, but hide the thing you went there to
look for ! Or you see sites with no search or index, or sitemap.

I tend to agree, with the proviso that it should be easy to access the
content.

Mine (unfinished, natch) is:

http://www.roman-road.co.uk

There will in the end be a price list in addition to the other pages that
are still unfinished, and probably a "tricycles for the disabled" page.

you also see such crap as Craddock's site, where the cutesy search index
thing is so vile that it impedes finding what you went there for (IMO, of
course), and wherein the writer obviously DGIF about anyone with a slow
connection. While the increase in broadband makes that less relevant now,
it's still not universal or anything like.

I'm a big fan of simple pages with plain text hyperlinks. The more cute
tricks you put in, the more difficult it is to make it work properly on all
browsers, too.

Strange that the "Doctype Declaration" is missing from this site
as it doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence in the website
designers if they miss out the most fundamental attribute.

http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html reveals:

File:www.meridianfiresystems.co.uk Content-Type: text/html Encoding:
iso-8859-1 Doctype: HTML 4.01 Transitional
Errors: 21
No DOCTYPE Found! Falling Back to HTML 4.01 Transitional

A DOCTYPE Declaration is mandatory for most current markup languages and
without one it is impossible to reliably validate this document. I am
falling back to "HTML 4.01 Transitional" and will attempt to validate the
document anyway, but this is very likely to produce spurious error
messages for most non-trivial documents.
