Another small hobby of mine is web design. I’m a huge noob, but I still find it very interesting. I’m working on a website which currently has no purpose beyond being related to heraldry, but may some day showcase some of my heraldic art.
I decided to include a page with links to other websites and thought, for the sake of branding, it would be nice to have a consistent style of heraldry across the site and I’d like to include the heraldry of any/all the websites that I link to.
So, I present the online heraldic community series:
College of Arms (England)

The Heraldry Society

The Heraldry Society of Scotland

Canadian Heraldic Authority

The Royal Heraldry Society of Canada

The American College of Heraldry

The U.S. Heraldic Registry

... and last but certainly not least:
American Heraldry Society

That’s the Royal HERALDRY Society of Canada, eh?
Yes! - and now edited.
A "consistent style of heraldry." I LOVE IT! I am not artistic at all, and actually have very little creativity in my bones, so I do better viewing things such as coats of arms that are of a uniform style. We have a lot of very creative and talented artists as a part of our forum and I wish I had a tenth of their talent.
I love the style you’ve chosen and I look forward to seeing your site as it develops (please provide the link when it’s up and running) and if you’d ever like to do a rendition of my arms, I’d welcome it. Best of luck!
I can’t take that much credit. I just manipulate clip-art. But thank you for the compliments.
My REAL website is not up and running. Not until I’ve mastered a few things in html and css, but in the mean time, I’ve been experimenting with google-pages which is still in testing. The link to my site is http://sagadahocherald.googlepages.com/ There’s nothing really to see.
I really do like google. If you need free web-space, and have no expertise what so ever in web design… google pages can get a VERY sleek website with no forced adds or forced… anything. The only limitations are that you have to use one of their formats. So far.
No IAAH shield? :(
Seriously, a nice idea. The links page will look neater and more professional, and it is good practice, too.
Very nice, Jeremy. I shall add your website to my list of heraldry sites to visit.
If you’re interested, the Bureau of Heraldry in South Africa has arms - you’ll find an image at http://www.geocities.com/corporatio/BoH.html - and the Heraldry Society of SA also has arms: the URL is http://www.geocities.com/arma_za/
What does Sagadahoc mean?

Sagadahoc is both the county I live in and the Native American term for the southern end of the Kennebec River, where I spent most of my life.
And thank you for adding my website… as of right now, it’s just a router to other sites, though.
Excellent work, Jeremy! Nicely done! :D
