Names and titles on photos are totally unnecessary, all they do is detract from the image. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Even when the back end stuff is finished, sending out emails to relevant agencies will also take time so it's not an overnight thing, but at least we are now able to sell, or more to the point visitors are able to buy pictures of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

I'm sure we would all be interested to know how the venture is progressing. Firstly on the level that the more sales made the more secure POE becomes. Secondly, if it is feasible, would be interesting to know what type of images are being purchased. But I realise that is probably a long way off. I have just noticed that there is now a 'My Sales' link in 'My Menu' whuich I think is a very good addition. But please, I am not pushing, just making suggestions ... as ever!!! Onwards and upwards POE... My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Improvements are ongoing to make it better for all concerned and thanks for the suggestions, they are always noted by Chris and Sarah. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

This wouldn't take much server space since they would only be links to existing images, and knowing what sort of images sell would be useful to everybody.
