Brdhntr-

Nice blog. Those Texas pointers are very cool. Nice photos, too.

Besides this board, which online forums do you frequent?

Thanks

Chris,
Tom Mathias and another friend from Buffalo will be down here on Monday. Quail are a little low this year but I hope I'll have lured all those in this part of the country to my ranch before the boys and their Setters get here.

Very nice! wish I were there.

I agree with Bob that the main page is slow to load. Too many large graphics images on one page. Most of your pictures are between 90k-265k bytes. that means you are loading a few meagbytes of contetnt just to view the main page.

The individual images can be easily altered to give same, or even larger sized images with comparable quality (easy with programs like Fireworks or Photoshop) and to be 1/3-1/2 of what they are now. (ie 30k-90k each)

If you tweak it a bit so that you have teaser pics/paragraphs with links to secondary content pages, and possibly with the various subjects/images (maybe even with modest size thumbnail images linking to larger size pop-ups/slideshows) it would flow/load much better.

Another consideration with the sizing is that you are probably paying for, or limited by, bandwith with your ISP so that the more people view the more you pay or get cut off after your monthly limit is reached (depends on your contract so check it out).

Thanks for comments! I have had a terrific time putting this thing together and I appreciate the compliments and suggestions.

I will work on making this load faster. I hate to lose resolution on the pictures so I will limit the number of posts that are shown on the main page. I will also try working with the picture sizes as suggested.

Obsessed with Doubles asked what sites I frequent. I used to be on the Shooting Sportsman's site a lot but that seems to be petering out for some reason - so I will be rooting around here. btw - Obsessed with Doubles has a terrific blog.

Thanks!
