Thanks for all your replies to date - just the sort of discussion that I was after.
Husker asks "Also, a question for Neil B is who is the site targetted at? If it's for music related PC users, then I can't image anyone would be using 800x600..."
I've put up a really new rough demo of the site that I plan.
Basically my ISP gives me 50Mb for a website so there'll be:
Some photos
Some music (MP3's)
Some of my wife's watercolour paintings (photos naturally - the paint tends to make a mess of the screens)
Some bike rides in Scotland (text plus photos)
Links to other sites and a few other things
Basically nothing flashy, nothing commercial.
I'd be grateful if you guys could look at the rough and ready demo I've uploaded this morning to see if it works on your screens/pc's. All feedback will be helpful I'm sure.
If you wish to test the email too (it's a second email account purely for the website) I'd be grateful.

Chris Werner - hope you didn't mind me linking to your site for our Mars track - saved me 8Mb
Again thanks to you all so far
