After the recent attacks on my website I have implemented some security features. Hopefully these features should not stop any legitimate users from accessing my site, but will block out all accesses from spammers, hackers and crackers. I have also changed all the background working on the site and added a lot of new content and features.
You can now let me know what pictures you like by voting for them! If you experience any problems on the website, please let me know about them so I can fix it as soon as possible. Thank you.

This website is under attack from spammers! They are trying to submit links and adult content into my guest book as well downloading a random page with a phoney referrer. I have disabled the guest book to stop the spam hits, but they continue to access random pages. This results in 400+ additional hits per day, which is equivalent to over 120,000 hits per month! It has also resulted in additional bandwidth overheads which I must pay for if I exceed my monthly limit. I have also banned a country from accessing my site as every single hit from there has tried or caused damage to this site. I am looking into implementing security features in the future to help protect against this so there won’t be any further updates for a while.

One month on and my website has already attracted over 250 visitors. Hopefully as I add more content I can increase this number. Thanks to all have visited and continue to visit.

Today I have been through every page on my site with the new W3c Validator and after fixing a few errors, every page is now valid HTML 4.01 and CSS is validated by W3C standards.

After a few months of development my new site is finally ready to be put live. I have asked Google to start indexing my site as well, so hopefully I will start getting some visitors soon.
Please look around and leave a comment in my guestbook!

I have had a few free web host providers in the past, they all offered good packages, but once you signup they start limiting and cutting back so I change and start over.
After a few months looking for a another free host that matched my needs, I decided to go paid hosting instead and this time I bought a domain name as well, www.lonewolf-online.net. I created this site primarily to show my photos with friends and family around the world, and as I became more involved in car clubs, astronomy clubs and other forums it became a place to share more images.
