<p>So far, time has only permitted that page to be updated but it does give the original homepage a new lease of life. Now to get to the other pages with the new, fresher look and feel.</p>
<p>We have used a little javascript to make the slide show that is very easy to add and change images used, then used a 3 column approach to delineate our services.  Not bad we think &#8230;</p>

<p><a href="http://www.craftsmade.co.uk"><img style="float: right; border: none;" title="go to craftsmade website" src="http://www.imaker.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/craftsmade-300x240.png" alt="craftsmade thumbnail" width="300" height="240" /></a>The site will provide a searchable database using names, craft type and areas of the UK.  While yet to be officially launched full listings and ads will be free.  You can <a href="http://www.craftsmade.co.uk/register.php">register</a> using the form in the site to get a listing.</p>
<p>News about crafts and design are also planned.  We&#8217;re also looking for craft articles. These will be published on the site and allow links and full author accreditation, so please get those coming in.</p>
<p>If you have a craft based website and you want to improve it&#8217;s visibility and your search engine ranking then get your application in now.</p>

<p>The site aims to showcase the hard work  John and Carole have put in during the last 5 years or so and has information about them, their alpacas and the alpacas for sale.</p>
<p>Once again, it&#8217;s been our pleasure to work with this client and we wish them the greatest success with the site, and our continuing partnership to improve it still more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I design a new site that has a content management system (cms), the owners seem to have most trouble with images. The problems they have are:</p>
<ul>
<li>The images are straight from their camera so are too big to fit the desired format and/or eat away at their bandwidth.</li>
<li>The image needs cropping.</li>
<li>The image needs some other changes.</li>
</ul>
<p>What is needed is a quick and easy way of making the desired changes without having to go to the extent of buying some software to do the job just for their website.  If it&#8217;s just a few images I don&#8217;t mind making the changes, but often the owner wants to do it themselves straight away.</p>
<p>So what do I do, recommend they use an online free editor.<span id="more-116"></span></p>
<p>I came across a post from <a href="http://woork.blogspot.com/2009/01/5-optimal-online-photo-editors-you-may.html" target="_blank">http://woork.blogspot.com/</a> where 5 online photo editors are compared. Of these there is one of my favourites that does most jobs.</p>
<h3>Pixlr</h3>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-127 alignnone" title="pixlr" src="http://www.imaker.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/pixlr.jpg" alt="pixlr" width="420" height="269" /></p>
<p>Has a very Photoshop like interface, easy to use, most changes are catered for and you can upload and save from and to your computer.</p>
<p>Good luck with it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a recent web design project I was looking for a list of UK counties. No problem, I thought, the internet is a wonderful place, bound to find something.</p>
<p>How wrong can you be? Lots of lists, but none of them complete and most out of date. Spent far too long looking and eventually had to make my own. I think it&#8217;s pretty complete, though, as ever, you probably know better.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve added a text file with just each County name that you can use as you like. You can list <a href="http://www.imaker.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/counties.txt">UK Counties</a> in your browser or download the <a href="http://www.imaker.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/counties.zip">UK Counties</a> file.</p>
<p>Please let me know what you think or if there are any missing by <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>adding a comment</strong></span>. I promise I&#8217;ll be grateful and will add any missing counties.</p>
<p>Finally if you make use of the list, feel free to link back to this page http://www.imaker.co.uk/blog/list-of-uk-counties/</p>
