Rod Watsons Web Site

Rod, I also visited you site quite a while ago and couldn't leave any comments either - just as Mike says.

It's a great site and think that you've done a great job.

Thanks guys! (my web tracker system is going through the roof today, wonder why. LOL. Nothing like throwing off all those nice steady graphs)

When I return from vacation, I am going to try and revamp the Guest Book. I have had off and on problems with it lately, especially with Netscape users, (I think it is the amateur webmaster's fault), but thanks for the thought!

Some real nice scans, Rod.

I just checked the site out. Great job, Rod!
The site just earned a spot on my Favorites list.

ROFLOL, Paul

Paul was very gracious in scanning my first 21 Lighthouse photos for me, scattered within my site, and on my HL.com Gallery page before I finally caught the bug to purchase a scanner for myself. It was John's request for some shots on the HL Gallery page, and Paul's excellent scans that really got me interested in actually laying out a site.

I had no intentions of eventually creating my own site, but it was so fun learning about HTML from Tim's posts and other sites, playing on the forums, and John and Paul's work that peaked my interest. Now I am absolutely hooked, and having a blast laying it out. It is only a little over 2 months old, but growing rather quickly. I believe there are around 55 total pages so far. I am really starting to learn alot about HTML, search engine requirements, tracker systems, meta tags, java, etc. It's definately a stress release from dealing with all my wacked out clients and gives me something to do with the thousands of shots laying around the house collecting dust. I had a major accident a few years back that resulted in the soaking of around 300 photos and 100 or so negatives. Alot of shots were lost, so this is a way of keeping some of the shots on a semi-permanent medium in case of future accidents or fires, etc.

I do have to thank John and Paul for creating a monster, but my client's probably don't thank you! LOL. Just dealing with such a minor little site sure increases my respect of the kind of work John has to go through keeping up the HL.com, Lighthousekeepers.com, and Membertrends.com sites.

Paul, you ought to start some kind of "scanning" service for a small fee, for people who would love to have their photos on their own computer, but can't afford a scanner, Photoshop, Image Ready, etc. Maybe even a service touching up old tattered family pictures for people's computers, etc. you do a great job...and I'm sure you have tons of time between work, shooting all the HL pictures, and traveling to every HL store, etc. LOL.
