Would you rather have a blog without any pictures???

I received some complaints that I'm out of control with my camera. Would you rather see this blog site without any pictures????

Let me know.....

We might have a site for pictures only and eliminate all the pictures in this blog!!!

What about a French blog site? Would that be better????

keep the photos and tell them to get high speed, or tell them to go have a coffee and wait a minute.

I like pictures, but I don't like the flash thing at the top it takes too long to load the page up. Plus sometimes you post too many pictures and that takes time to load also. A few pictures per blog is great. Just keep the fancy stuff off the blog site that would be great.

Oh yea also I would like to see more appropriate pictures. For example that picture with the needle is not needed, the picture of the lady that fell bleeding is not needed. Pictures of people covering their face which you know they don't want their picture taken is inappropriate. Well you get my point.

Trouble is, the people who would support that idea have long given up coming here because it takes so long to load. The idea with a blog is to get as many viewers as possible, every time you do something to make it slower, the more people who no longer 'tune in'. The vast majority of blogs are mostly explaining the pictures, but remember how you used to write political issues on your mailing list? Those were political issues people wanted to hear about. Nobody is saying to get rid of the pictures, but an alternate blog, say charlesleblanc.blogspot.com with even one post per day or so about political issues would catch on in the northern and rural parts of the province. Places where you'd probably find more support than Fredericton. Once you let people know that they can send stuff to you, then maybe more northerners would pay attention. Something to think about anyway, unless the aim is to just entertain bureaucrats in Fredericton who have high speed.

If people are used to this site having pictures, then just make the other site the one with no pictures. Everybody is happy.

Why can't you have one picture with the title on the main page and if we want to read the story or see more pics we just click on it?
I have made this suggestion to you before but ......
Anyways, I think that would be a fair solution for everyone, you included.

i agree with teh people who say that the page takes too long to load - that slider thing at the top seems to be the worst for slowing things down. also, whoever said one picture per story is right. if you want to put up additional pictures, put them inside somewhere. to be honest, half the time or better, I don't even look at the picturs, I just flip by them.

I love your pictures and the way you tell the story through them. Very animated like yourself! Keep up the great work Charles!
