Redesigned OUR PICTURES Page
Following reports from visitors that the old system did not cater for their requirements, the whole team here (me!) has been working day and night to develop a new picture gallery system.
If you are not busy could you try it now (OUR PICTURES) and let us know if you have any problems with it?
Thanks
Mike

Welcome to our revamped web site.
I have used as the basis of the site a free open source programme WordPress which is used widely for blogs and standard websites.
I would be very grateful if you could have a look around the site and tell me what you think. Don’t be shy – tell me if you think its a load of crap, or congratulate me on a wonderful construction! I won’t mind either. Also any tips on layout or suggestions on general look and feel would be most welcome.
You can leave public comments below or if you prefer it not to show you can use the form on the ‘CONTACT US‘ page.
Thanks for looking and I hope to hear from you.

Fits perfect now, just shows what a bit encouragement from the antipodes can do, look at English cricket for instance.
Please tell the 73yr old pom, we might be ludites but we’re besotted by old english queens.
Oops ducky! Another thing we suspected about the non-poms, but I’m glad to see you haven’t lost your sense of humour. G’day mate
73 yr old pom to 60 yr old Brisbane ( that’s land belong some british qeen ennit?).
Always suspected the colonies were backward and behind the times, thanks for the confirmation.
Hi there
this is impressive for someone trying to work out how to put photos up on picassa – will send you the link to photos of my first day in Brindisi working for the UN (on my way to Afghanistan!)

Excellent admin response time.Google does not seem to offer your site on the first page. When I go to ” our pictures ” ,they are to big for the screen which didn’t seem to be the case with the old site. (I tried two different PCs) Let me down gently if it’s just operator error.
Hi again Pop
Yes, I am looking at the image display system and hope to end up with a ‘stretchy’ one that will fit any display – even your i-phone or whatever it is!
I will let you know when it is up and running (but don’t hold your breath).
At my end a search on goggle for ‘froud.com’ gives us top spot on page one. Its probably something to do with you living on the wrong side of the earth.
I can’t stand old people who understand computers !
OK pop, who said I was old?
Trouble with you youngsters is you get upset when old dogs learn new tricks. And how are you anyway? Didn’t make the connection because I assumed you’d still be in Townsville and with your talent and background you must have been working with computer controlled systems for the last 20 years. By the way, it was the best Moke I ever drove, especially when it had no steering. Cheers.
Fred get stroppy!? An oxymoron. I’ve never known it happen and can’t imagine it. Only one comment, while you’ve got this facility on your home page why do you need the ‘contact us’ link, or is that like going private?
Nothing to report except I came off te bike, combination of wet greasy road on approach to roundabout, car driver who didn,t indicate his intent to turn right by either flasher or road position and my mistaken assumption that he would go straight on. No contact with vehicle, only the road. Minor damage to me and the bike, rode it straight to the pub as normal.
Love Di, cheers Fred.
AS I am a complete dinosaur about computers and anything else to do with them Im not the correct person to comment. I even forgot how to log on to face book – and anyway have decided is it worth it. Far too complicated for me. On the surface of it your website looks very smart. Hope you are both very ok. Guess who looks just like her mother now.? I look just like a mixture of both my parents – scary isnt it? Just off to nairobi to visit a friend for a few days. Bye
It looks very nice and I look forward to more pictures being on the site!
Why thanks Diana, that is good of you. <
whinge>If you give me less work to do around the house I might have a chance to put up more of the old pictures</whinge>Thanks for you comments and watch for further developments,
Mike
