Default Militia Button Web Project

Hi Gents,

I'm in the process of totally rebuilding/reformatting my website. With that in mind I have also just reformatted my Militia Button project.

For those who don't know or have not seen it, this is an outgrowth of my forum album on this same topic. Purely a personal project for my won enjoyment but if you share my interest in Militia buttons then you may wish to take a gander.

Cheerio,

Roy

Hi Gents,

Thank you so very much for all your support and kind comments. I don't think my modest collection is quite a solid reference as yet but as they say 'from small acorns' and all that.

I created this just for my own enjoyment and an easy way of looking at and enjoying these wonderful little buttons. With the eyes not being as good as they used to be, a larger photograph is a great way to easily enjoy these treasures. So if other collectors can enjoy it too then all the better.

I'm expecting a few new additions in the mail soon, so whenever I update my forum album always feel free to check out my web project for larger images. It can always be found in my 'General Topics & Articles' section of the website..link: http://wilkinsonfscollection.com/wil..._Articles.html

Cheers,

Roy

Superb Roy, well done.

Your photography and computing skills are as endless as your pockets are deep

Thanks again gents,

I would ask for patience in regards any inconsistencies in the site, I started a total rebuild two months ago and it is rather a larger project than I anticipated. The new format is on grey with the old on green.

I'm starting to realize all the pages I have added over the years and it's grown into a rather large site all told, so is taking some time to re-format. Just me a Lillibelle working on it and trust me she is more of a hindrance that a help - pic attached...

Cheerio,

Roy

No excuses now, Roy. From the photo it looks to me as if you had fallen asleep on the job and Lillibelle woke you up to get on with the work! Fancy calling a dog like that a hindrance!

I can see I'm outnumbered here Roger...

At this moment she is on my lap keeping warm on a fresh New Mexico morning. This of course means I can't move and the computer is off to the side, so typing on-a-scew (don't know how to spell that!).

Although I must confess it is very cute how she has learned to come over and push the computer with her nose to get me to move it. Now if only her typing would improve...

Cheerio,

Roy
