"How not to" photographs   
I posted a month or so about the site I have started. The aim of which is to 
collect examples of how not to do DIY. Since I last posted, I've added a few 
more pictures that have been sent in.

Most of the photographs are electrics - but there are examples from other 
trades too.

I'm always interested in new submissions, so if you have any pictures you'd 
like to contribute, I'd be pleased to hear from you.

Enjoyed looking at this last time, and don't wish to be critical, but it's 
still so, so slow...  Can you change the hosting?.  May then get many more 
hits.

Eletrics gallery from the 1st march to the 16th of April are the same 
photograph check your web site using a different web browser or get a friend 
to look at them from his computer. It is a example of how not to photograph 
But you knew that already.

I'll certainly have a look at this. I think there is a minimum time with the 
host I'm with, but when it comes up for renewal I'll certainly be looking to 
move.

I did look at this, and I'm honestly not sure what you are getting. I've 
looked at it in internet explorer 6, Netscrape 7 and Firefox on this 
computer, Opera and Netscrape 4 (yeuch) on another pc on my network, and IE6 
on a third PC on the network, and what I'm seeing in gallery 1 is 8 
different pictures.

I have been mucking about with menu's over the last few days, but it's 
certainly working OK at the moment on a variety os/browser/pc here.

Re: "How not to" photographs   
I've since added a new electrical gallery.

Should a cooker switch actually be about a foot over an electric shower in a 
bathroom??
