Contributing Member JLSleather Posted October 4, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted October 4, 2016 Do we jus' hate web people yet? My site is not particularly 'fancy' -- in fact that is my position and my strategy... no frills common sense QUALITY without the HYPE (really.). But there's the downside of "open source" software.. somebody always creating "improvements" and "upgrades", and suddenly what worked just fine now doesn't. Well, now that I think about it, i don't hate 'em .. I just like it better when they aint around Somebody check that site for me.. lemme know if it seems to load quite slow in the galleries.... http://www.jlsleather.com/gallery/more-leather/ http://www.jlsleather.com/gallery/holster/ Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members Halitech Posted October 4, 2016 Members Report Posted October 4, 2016 both loaded fine for me on fibre connection in NS Canada Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Members TSes Posted October 4, 2016 Members Report Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I tried both and all galleries loaded in less than 2 seconds. We have Time Warner highspeed internet. Edited October 4, 2016 by TSes Quote

bikermutt07 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 From my 4glte(whatever) android it took about 7 seconds and 4 seconds respectively. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Boriqua Posted October 4, 2016 Report Posted October 4, 2016 Im on a slow slow connection and it loaded up a touch slower than it used to but really just fine. I would say a 3 Mississippi count. Worked as it should. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted October 4, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 4, 2016 Thanks, Boss I noticed this morning that two pics werent' showing (just the 'alt' text) and to "fix" I had to re-send one and delete one.

Members gmace99 Posted October 4, 2016 Members Report Posted October 4, 2016 I am on adsl 8mbps speed and loads fast and looks good. You don't need open source to get nice web software. I used Serif webplus 6 for my last site. It was a free download. I am now on Serif webplus 8. It cost me about £14.99. I think they wanted £80 but they will drop the price if you ask. Serif have some real good free to down load programs. One of my sites done with Serif 8 is www.uksaddlery.com Quote www.uksaddlery.com Saddlery training courses in Dunoon Scotland UK.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted October 4, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 4, 2016 Yeah, I get bored with that whole web thing. I used to do exactly that, but honestly didn't like the people I was meeting. The only real downside to wordpress (other than what i already mentioned) is it's a bit of a pain to see it before it 'goes live'. Not interested in setting up a server,blahblah... If it gets out of control, I'll likely just split the galleries into smaller 'batches'. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members Tob Posted January 16, 2017 Members Report Posted January 16, 2017 Just poking around elsewhere on your site, I found that your notebook pattern making download link is broken. Error as shown to me: Error! This download item (1368) does not have any download link. Edit this item and specify a downloadable file URL for it. All others checked out fine. All loaded up within roughly 3 seconds for me. I am on Spectrum cable internet. I know a few months old but...A.D.D. browsing and checked it out anyway. Quote

Members Tob Posted January 16, 2017 Members Report Posted January 16, 2017 You're welcome. I do like how you laid out your tutorials. A good description with a picture. I have come across many tuts over the years for a lot of things that say beginner, yet the beginner will spend more time trying to figure out what it said. More like a beginning intermediate or higher maybe. At the same time, a paracord whip making instructable that i have come across, spells it all out nicely. It ain't for the beginner, learn these things first and then this will be easy. Simply laid out and not too barney style to make me just want to hand it to a 3 year old. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted January 17, 2017 Author Contributing Member Report Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks I quickly got tired of articles, blogs, pootube videos, .... all saying "how to .. this" or "this-that tutorial", or something to that effect. Then you click on it, and you get a sketch, or you get a "time lapse" video with some music that has nothing to do with the video, or maybe you get some guy going on about "i aint no professional, and I know it's been done a bazillion times, but ... I'll do this anyway!". Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
