I may want site of my own

[Paul Collins M0BSW]

Having a website is always a good idea. I have one (stevecoates.net) but I don't update it much, because most of my projects I tend to document on forums.

Have you decided how you are going to build the website? Mine is just plain old HTML pages, but I'm pondering changing it to more of a blog format.

I also ponder making videos, and I may well do this, but the trouble with videos is they need lots of bandwidth and storage space. There's also an issue with quality. Although many people are getting better at making videos these days, there are still some where the video quality (resolution, compressions etc), sound quality, lighting, shakiness etc etc, just make them barely watchable. As I don't like watching videos like this, I certainly don't want to make them like this.

I had a look at your site has a really nice look about it, Thurlby, they own Black*Star, I'm a big fan of Black*Star, It used to be quite close to where I live when it was going, good quality , and English Made, I'm down to two pieces of Black*Star these days a frequency counter Meteor 600, and a function generator Jupiter 500. the rest of the equipment is Japanese,apart from the Farnell bench power supply and the farnell  millivolt meter  TM2, which has a range AC/DC of 1MV to300Volts, that's just had a holiday to the Calibration centre.

Thanks

I still think my site could do with a more modern look to it. I find it slightly cluttered, and of course it is incomplete.

I think I will experiment with some content-management-systems and see how it goes.

but I'm pondering changing it to more of a blog format.

I use google blogs and it seems to work ok;  although sites can be better structured - they do tend to take up a lot of spare time to manage.
