Following from the tips you guys gave me about web hosting etc. a while back, I have set up a website to sell some of my photos and learn to do SEO type stuff, here it is: http://www.jerusalemphotographs.com

Ta da!

Now why don't you all be nice and go and have a look, link to it and buy a stack of big prints?

FWIW, the images I took and selected for the site were those which would look good blown up really large on your wall, nice decorative shots if you know what I mean.

Any feedback welcome...

Shameless plug while you're all here...

I did have a look this morning, but as I know nothing about Jerusalem or photographs I decided I had nothing further to offer

The pictures look nice though.

[Yellow Boy]

You don't need to know anything, just where your wallet is!

[PeterFear]

I don't know where that is

[statikpunk]

Pete, Its with steam isn't it?

Yb, Ill have a look at your pics later but if they are not of pacman I'll be disappointed.

[PeterFear]

Ah yeah, I did post my wallet to Steam for safekeeping

[Yellow Boy]

No pacman, but there are pictures of fruit.

What do you do there? Are you anywhere dangerous? Take care.

Thanks for the compliment and the offer Freefall, I might just take you up on that. (Other than the hope of selling a few images) I made the site in order to learn how online marketing works -SEO, Google Analytics etc. (That's why for I'm using the Jerusalem angle rather than my name.) Any tips? So far, I've plugged it one place at a time (here, tumblr (because of the reblogs and click thru links) and somewhere else) before I 'launch' it on Facebook and people who I know who might actually be the first to buy anything. I've got up to the second page of Google so far, but my hits are still fairly low.

Have a shameless socket face instead

I am an engineer working for an oil and gas company. Generally I work in a suburb that is fairly safe, although i did have to go to Sinai last week for a visit (thats where the bedoins keep kidnapping people and blowing up pipelines).

Lived through the revolution, so this stuff isn't too bad really, its mostly localised, you just got to be careful not to do something stupid

[Yellow Boy]

Wow, serious stuff. It's interesting that you are hinting that the revolution was more worrying, I would have thought that it would be more worrying now, with the relative power vacuum, the military seeking to maintain it's authority and the lack of a civic tradition, established transparent democratic bodies etc. as checks and balances on them, the MB and the rest. I'd have expected things to be more random and chaotic now vs. the relative stability of the Mubarak regime, I mean he was never going to start shooting people in the street a la Assad in Syria, right? Anyway, how about a nice picture of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Old City of Jerusalem for your wall?

Yes plenty of tips, best if we talk about it all on skype/msn or something.
