It could just be my work computer, but the images in your blog aren't showing for me. I'm using FF and cleared my cache and cookies then tried again...I has no images thar sir.

I can't see the pics either, but that's because all your image links for the review are wrong they should look like:

Code: Select all
<img src="path\to\image.imagename.jpg">
Not:
<img>[img]....[/img]</img>.

Thats just wrong.

The that photobucket provides are just for forums that support those tags in there replies, like this one. You should be using a normal link like I showed above. photobucket also provides one of those it calls them Direct Link, use that one with the proper image tags for it to work.

The review looks pretty good. You can be nice, and add it to the reviews section here. I guess you can put a link in it to your blog also.

All in all a nice review.

I noted the photos not working at the end, and I would post the review here, except I'm usure how to post pics, and I feel it might go unnoticed. What I really want to do is regular reviews as a service to all you nice people. I tried to fix the pics, but it's not working, if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, let me know.

The review section won't go unnoticed, as that's what its for. And you don't need to add pics, that's what Seib's galleries are for.

Anyway, I tend to go in and use them, and actually add to them. I did a good extensive review on Primus.

It seems my explanation got absorbed by the forum. So here it is again

Instead of using the Image code tags provided by photobucket, use the Direct Link also provided by them, and use correct html image tags for them like so:

Code: Select all
<img  src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/user/image.jpg">

I would just let you use the gallaries, but there are things I want to pint out visually that aren't in the galleries.

BTW I did what you said, it still doesn't work

the way you have the images on your blog currently:

Code: Select all
<imghttp://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc46/mr-dude86/DSCN0307.jpg>


How it should look:

Code: Select all
<img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc46/mr-dude86/DSCN0307.jpg">

Hello, could use a little more feedback?

Patience!

Overall, a decent review. Some blurry pics and a misspelled title can be improved.

What's misspelled? I think I missed it. And yeah, I should work on my camera skills

I used to have a review site, and since I had a craptacular camera that did not have a zoom feature I would use a magnifying glass for the close pics.

I consider the future of reviews will be in video format. I'm trying to set up my youtube account to start doing that.

If you want you can try that and imbedd the review on your blog.

Actually that's not too far off. tfwire.com ha been doing video review for some tie And you can find quite a few video reviews, of different tf's even Power rangers zords on youtube.

Some are pretty good some aren't.

I do have a rating, ****1/2 out of five stars. And I do have a youtube account but there's two problems, one I don't have a cmaera or mic, two, I'm not comfortable with my voice.
