Default Rayn Photography

This site is a simple weblog built to host my portfoilo of photography. In the future there will be more sections showcasing my 3D and digital graphics work and maybe some audio/video work.

I would appreciate feed on the site, as all comments are very welcome. I would love feedback on the photo entries also(if anyone is interested) as i believe content is what makes a site and i would like to improve all aspects
in this project.

The link is http://www.rayobrien.com

First impressions, it's a nice design, I like it. One thing I notice however is that some of the images take a long time to download. You'll need to look at optimising the sizes of your photos.

It does seem to take a while to load, and that would be my only complaint.

Nice unobtrusive design. Good photographs. I likes it.

Thank you everyone. Yes im running it from my own server at home with dyndns over and ntl broadband connection. It is slow which is a pity, but only at certain times for some reason. I will upgrade to a proper host at some point. Can anyone recommend one?


Either that, or im going to try slip onto heanets broadband network... now that would be cool!

I use Blacknight and find them to be great. I think they have special hosting packages for blogs, but check their website for details.

Default cool stuff

really nice site / blog

really cool pictures too, interesting stuff you're doing

2 things you may want to be aware of - it actually took 4 minutes for the page to open - i don't know why - but the sceonc thing is a real pet hate of mine, bad grammar and spelling mistakes and i'm afraid your blogs are littered - sorry,

But if you could tidy up the typo's and improve your hosting, you've a great site and i hope it brings in some clients for you
