Hi Kerry,
Interesting project, but I have to say that I had trouble reading the text on the Families pages.

Interesting but only one thing I noticed, when you finished reading a 'Book', there isn't a home/back link. Is it something you can add?

I just loved the creation of a book and clicking on the pages to turn them. Simple but very effective.

Boatmen site
Hi Kelly,
Totally agree with Mutley about the book idea, simple and effective. However once into the book I found the writing too small and difficult to read so soon gave up. Your site is an excellent idea though and once you overcome the 'teething' problems it should prove a very useful source for research. Disappointed not to find any of my numerous boatmen on there though!
I wish you success with this site.

I've just looked at your website - I love it and wish you luck with it. There are newspapers and magazines online that use digital edition page turning software...they have a zoom tool, perhaps that's something you could add later?

Hi
I just checked out your website - it's very interesting to me and may be useful in my research as my husband's family (Ward) had canal boats in the 19th century. I'm
at the moment 'cos Ward's one of the names that are not available due to updating - when will it be back, please?
Also I can't get the Links, History and Boats/Artwork buttons to work;
are they being updated too?
