MrSeacucumber & JustStarting....you two are both so yesterday, like the latest hippest thing is vloging :D . Problem in this country is that your videos may be used as evidence against you for the slightest infraction of the law. I'm a big fan of Hickok45 and Jerry Miculek and would like to see something similar but with Australian content.

He's still posting the odd picture on Face Book, might be concentrating on the competitions and does the videos during off season. Him and Hickok45 are great to watch, good information, lots of shooting and always entertaining.

I used to like Hickok45, but it gets old quick. I'll watch it once in a while, if there's something interesting but only for a minute. Pretty boring if you ask me, unless, like I said, he has something old and interesting which is rare.

I enjoy most of his vids. But it depends more on the gun. Hickok provides great commentary, but if the firearm in question is uninteresting then I won't watch it.

That's why you have to love Victorian and thier 2008 Firearms Regualtion, Part 6, section 22. Allows you to conduct sport and target shooting on private property :D

But yes I get where you are coming from.

Looking good mate, needs a little polishing with the spelling and grammar but otherwise a good start.

Looking very nice! But if you want more control over your website I would recommend DIY as WordPress.com only allows you access to a few plugins, which limits the creativity you have with the design and functionality of your site.

However, if you just want a simple blog with no bells or whistles then its the perfect choice.

But, I would recommend changing the default 2016 theme you have installed. Its very bland looking and everybody with no imagination uses it.

Thanks :) I think I'll stick with the no bells and whistles just to get the ball rolling and as I learn I might move over to DIY, yea the 2016 theme is pretty dam bland haha I would like to get a nice header and all that made up as well as a logo, I just want to stay away from looking tacky :lol:

There are plenty tutorials on line on how to use the WordPress backend. I would recommend configuring the header and footer to make your site at least look unique.

He manages to source some pretty interesting stuff though.

Not just doing the 10 millionth Glock review like a lot of the wannabe shooting channels, or something equally done to death.
