Hi all,

I've FINALLY got round to making my spider site, and I need more ideas of what to put on it, your suggestions would be most appreciated.

Rather than care-sheets I'm doing detailed information sheets and observations etc of the spiders I keep, as caresheets are too common and usually very vague, telling you only how to keep the spider; not things about it.

I'm including a 'projects/how to' section, in which will be information on various things, like how to turn a standard aquarium into an arboreal set up and how to detatch a spiders leg etc etc, any suggestions on what to put in this section would be most appreciated.

Also, in a weeks time I'll require a couple of volunteers to have a quick read through various parts and give me thier honest feedback, so if you've some spare time, (and prefably enough knowledge to allow you to pick faults) could you PM or respond here saying you'd do it? I'll give special thanks to those who do

Thanks people,

Oh, here is a list of the 'questions' (for lack of a better word) that are within my 'information sheet' to give you an idea of what they will *hopefully* contain: (in HTML if it comes out bad i'll remove it)
Argh that didn't come out too well!

I would LOVE to participate! Being a graphic artist for 14 years, I kinda have an "eye" for layout, etc. AND, I proof everything I read for spelling, grammar, etc. AND, I'm honest!

I think you should include some photos of various set-ups. It seems like a lot of our newbies ask "What do I keep my new T in?" And I KNOW people always ask me how I fit 47 "tanks" in my house! (They all think that a T needs a 10 gallon aquarium!) On the other hand, the pet stores sell tiny little Kritter Keepers with a big, huge g. rosea and some sand and a wet sponge in it as "Tarantula with complete setup-$29.95!"

Search the boards here with keyword "newbie" or "newb". You can collect all of the newbies' questions and see what is asked most!

BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR SITE!!!!:D

Thanks! *Puts MizM onto the volunteer list*

Yeah that's a good idea for the tank set ups! I'm also constructing my own patented (;)) "spiderling tower" where I plan to keep all the blasted vials that otherwise clutter everything up.

It should be within the week, though there won't be many pics until I get my new camera :'(

Do you use M$N messenger at all? It'd be great if we could chat over that as you check through it.

I'm just working on making some flash animations for the 'how-to' section

I'll do the newby search now

Cheers!

Keep the ideas rolling in
