Geo, you might find that you get more from Armorama if you try to put more into it , instead of just advertising about your own website, which has a bunch of nice pics btw, but we feel we have a nice website here too.

Armorama is a great website and I enjoy looking at it. Our site is primarily a club site, but we didn't want it to look like a lot of the other club sites out here (California) which are nice but............., the failure to try any design work and the failure to update on any consistant basis, that is what we re trying to avoid.

Great efforts to spotlight your club and put out a nice Internet presence Geo. Armorama is a great place to reach many modelers and attract them to your club's site. Do you have a link from there to Armorama? If not - it would be a great idea to set one up! If so - thanks a bunch!

He does indeed. Although the Links page is a bit hard to locate. Not to knock your site specifically Geo, I always scratch my head a bit when sites do not have a simple navigation element on each page STARTING with the homepage. Believe me this is my line of work, and you are loosing probably 30-40% of your site visitors on the homepage because they are simply thinking that is the whole site and missing the "click on the photo to enter our world" text. No clicking! Photo great. Clicking bad. Sorry...it's just so "early internet".

Great content though. I love that image of the Canadian TigerMeet plane. I wonder is TwoBobs going to do a decal sheet on this one??

Cheers,
Jim

I knew the Armorama guys could think and come up with options and solutions! Back to the drawing board (O.K. - keypad) and next week a "new" front page - thanks Jim!

I'm here Gunnie and that is one beautiful bird.

As far as the site goes-listen to Jim. He knows what he's talking about.
