[goat]

Can you add a knife makers groupie section for those of us who haven't got around to actually making one yet?

[nicknohair]

Good looking site. Glad it has got off the ground. Very best of luck.

We could lots of sub groups within that 'potential' makers group!

'I'll be getting around to it any day, now' group
'I've got all the bits, Ive just not put them together' group
'I've made loads of knives...they're just still in my head' group

Since the website 'went live' - the KMA website has had visits from, UK, USA, Turkey, Switzerland, New Zealand, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Czech, Belgium, Australia, Philippines

Excluding UK visits, there has been over 120 unique international visits with 2362 pages served; - initial indications about us achieving our aims look good...

KMA - Showcasing British Knife Makers ™

Good stuff. The uniques are the important number Tom. They represent actual people visiting the site. The pageviews show a wildly distorted figure that include every hit to the site, from random pings, search engine bots, all sorts of random internet noise. BB gets about 3 million a month. It's a nonsense number.

I dont know if you use google analytics, but that is regarded as the industry standard for website analysis.

Congrats, site looks very swish, first lot of stats sound good, and I hope the whole thing is a success.

Huzzah!

[Stuart Mitchell]

I could have sworn that we had more in the UK making knives?

[Tom_W]

Martyn,

3 million a month ... The server must

The KMA website is fully linked to google analytics :-).

I'm in the process of making my first blade proper and would very much like to join. Would that be a problem or should I wait until it's finished and I have a nice photo?

[grommit]

Been looking for a bit but due to personal things not had chance to get my pathetic knives together let alone spell a proper resume
I will try and not type Geordie.

A photo is needed...but a reasonably ok photo will probably be fine. Don't hold out for a 'nice' photo - if your photography skills are like mine, you might have retired from knife making before you get that!!!
