Wow, I've only just got here and feel at home already. Such a warm welcome- but that's Scousers for you. Years of living in Chester does weird things to your head and makes you forget...

I've been writing my online history, guide and galleries of this strange little town for some years now (URL below)- it's made me no money and earned me severe ****gings-off from the establishment for my troubles. Perhaps I should be concentrating instead on a similar project for Liverpool? I've certainly got the pictorial resources and a pretty good library of books old and new to call upon. Your opinions would be valued greatly.
SteveB- are you serious? You may get trampled in the rush. The main thing that's been holding me back expanding the Liverpool stuff on my site has been the intimidating prospect of handprinting hundreds of negatives, then scanning them, resizing them, monkeying about with them.. even before putting the pages together...
I haven't been handprinting as much as I did. The 'digital revolution' has meant that my bread-and-butter earners, especially weddings and portraits, have, after 30-odd years, pretty much died a death now that every bugger's got the kit and think they can do it just as well for themselves... So it's getting harder to raise the cash for the paper and chemicals now... ho hum.
What sort of quantities would you be willing to deal with? Can you do slides on it? I've got some crackers that sadly don't get seen much.
Sounds like a handy piece of kit, I envy you.
• As an aside- and a doubtless stupid question from a newbie which probably should be posted elsewhere- can anyone advise how i can replace the Liver Bird (pretty as it is) at the top of my posts with my own picture? I uploaded a test mugshot but this seems to appear at the bottom, alongside my signature. Sorry- there's doubtless a perfectly good FAQ somewhere I'll now get told off for not reading but, you know- never one to read the manual, me...
