May I suggest that you put up a temporary holding page in place of the
one provided by your web hosing co...

If you do, please try to avoid "Under construction" etc.. That infers
to the visitor "It aint done yet, I'm busy, bugger off and come back
later..."

May be a nice logo with text similar to:

"Coming shortly, a new and exciting digital photo magazine dedicated
to.... etc"

(Only a suggestion...)

It seems the server we are using lost its hard disk yesterday, and might
appear not to have RAID or backups - and we were in the middle of
building it.

Pooh.

Looks like the logo at http://www.f2photo.co.uk/ has some dark pixels...

Just need to criticize someone ;-)

Thanks for that Natalia - I thought it was muck on my monitor - I've
been trying it for that last 10 minutes....

That was dust on the computer monitor when it was born.

Actually it's a crunched up logo, the real magazine logo has a much
longer f, but we couldn't find a neat way to use it properly on the
website. I will tell Richard to clean off the wee spots!

The server seems to be back in operation, but all the pdf archived
articles which were uploaded to the DOWNLOADS section are no longer
there, so try again in a while. I'll ask Richard to get them in place.

The registration systems works OK anyway, I can can still get in with my
own name and password set up during the development. Long way to go
before it is a useful website though.

Hello David
I look forward to viewing your on line mag. I have to agree w/ above
poster who said he quit reading mags, just books. I've noticed a
serious dummying down of all mags, not just photo, in the last 5 to 10
yrs here in the good ol' US. It's amazing how little real content;
magazines of various technical disciplines have anymore. I suppose
lead by the same thinking that supports the Bush. I'm embarrassed to
be a US citizen 'cuse the ******* enjoys a majority support. When I go
abroad next, it'll be w/ lotsa red maple leaves. eh? I digress, back
to mags. The thing I really like about magazines is their perfect size
& weight. I've been trying to read a hard bound 1K page computer book
that weights ~ 10lb. I'm seriously considering cutting it down to
chapter size bites & rebinding it w/ soft covers & ACCO screws.

Good Luck John
