Chaps, you may have noticed that many of the links in the pictures / links section do not work. I apologise for this inconveniece, and I felt it only fair to give you an explaination:
The problems have been caused by a slow internet connection here, and my web host, freewebs. They have certain restrictions on free accounts which have been causing me problems. They are:
There is a limit of 50 files on any free account. This website comprises of MANY files (think about it, one per article, one per individual picture, one for each display page.......). I cannot upload all picture files because they exceed the limit. I do have a solution to this however. I simply create a new account and direct link to the pictures uploaded to that account. The problem is I need to re-arrange all the links which takes time.
The second is that there is a file size limit of 750k. Many picture files exceed this, and therefore I have had to take time to reduce their quality, hence decreasing their size.
And the third is I can only upload one file at a time, which, when I have multiple (ie. 15) files to upload, including picture files, that makes one long session in front of the computer. I have found it hard to find the time after school when essays are due on the next day.
To add to that I have a slow internet connection (150K). Picture files seem to take years to upload.
I again apologise for the inconvenience, and assure you that I am working on the problem. Now that it is half-term, I have plenty of time to solve things.
I will keep you updated.
