if you could tell me what your thoughts on blogs are and whether this is on the right tracks or if i should scrap it and start again??
thanks so much :thumbs:
 
Depends on what you want to do with your photography. If you just want a place to put your pics, use flickr. If you want somewhere to promote yourslef, then I think building a simple website using templates on something like moonfruit is a better option. Blogs are as much about the words as the pictures and wouldn't be my choice to display sets of pictures.

Some nice photos on there by the way. :)
 
Looks good to me, I recently did the same as my husband set me up a blog/website as part of my birthday present. Am using it to document some of my photography and it is a mixture of words and pictures.

You have some nice shots but personally I like to see a bit of an explanation about the content of the pictures - a brief description of where they were shot etc rather than just pictures.

I use Flickr to display my pictures and my website has a gallery on it to display my them.

I also have a Blogger account which is basically a carbon copy of my website http://sharoncurran.blogspot.com I just set that one up for more coverage, plus I enjoy reading a lot of the other blogs on there :)

Not trying to hijack your thread but It would be good to hear what people think to my site too.
 
Hey guys thanks for the input, the reason i didnt want a site straight away was because i wanted to hangfire until i start progressing to business! the reason i wanted to use a blog rather than flickr was i thought the blog would be a bit more personal and i can use each blog for different set of shots and finally i havent put much info on there as it was all done in one night lol i will be editing the blogs but dont really want to put too much text on there as i like the shots against the black. Sharon i love your site and blog, i cant believe ours blogs are nearly identical lol some great bigcat shots!! thanks again for all your input and advise made me think about a few things!! :D
