Hi folks,
Some of you may have noticed something about my website. After receiving advice form several
Forum members (including a poll in a separate, related
thread), we decided that multiple coins
per page would be better than one coin
per page (where I was going to use the reference numbers as the clickable links). We also agreed that 5-20 coins
per page would be optimal, where the
average would be approximately 10 coins
per page.
After completing numerous website pages, I've pretty much settled on the lower end of that 5-20 estimate. I did this for 2 reasons:
1) Since I am averaging about 4-6 photos
per coin, when I reach 5 coins, I am already at 25 photos
per page. I am doing this all from memory. I am not
writing anything down as I am going along. When I go to my html kit after cropping and renaming my photos, I write the code holding the photo count (
per coin) in my
head. Anything more than 5 coins (approximately 25 photos)
per page, and I start to lose track of the number of photos
per coin. This is a major consideration because my photo count (
per coin) varies. 5 coins
per page seems to be my brain's upper limit.
2) I am leaving room for growth. In the future, I will probably be adding to my
collection. This is especially true for my primary collecting areas (
Campania,
Augustus, etc.). If I do 10 coins
per page now, when my
collection grows in the future, I could have 20 or more coins
per page. By having approximately 5 coins
per page now, when my
collection grows in the future, I will have approximately 10 coins
per page.
