Okay, so the site's up at last. A round of applause for silly hosting sites and slow domain registras.
You may have noticed one of the sections is called 'Blog'.. I was hoping for a public opinion about where I should get a decent one, that allows a degree of simple customisation. I've heard good things about both Wordpress and Blogger, but what do you guys think?

I've tried WordPress. It's nice and easy. You may spend a time looking for a nice template though.

Wordpress is lovely and you could probably knock yourself up a template fairly easily if it's minimalist enough, there's plenty available for download as well. Blogger is okay but I don't like it because it's too reliant on other servers, that are run by Yahoo.

Nice! I didn't realise wordpress would host as well, I installed my pathetic attempt locally using the local mySQL and php services and I know next to nothing about either.

just a suggestion, maybe have a button to go to the next and previous photos? or are you planning that anyways? or do you prefer it how it is?

Also, on the main page, could you put proper hit-areas on the buttons? You've got four large buttons but you can only click on the graphic or the text, not in the whitespace. It makes the blog button needlessly thin.

Did wonder if I should do that or not.
That's easily done.

I don't know.. I've been told I can use the Flickr API on my website.
Might see if I can do that.

Cunto!
Also; Grimmie.co.uk has ran out of bandwidth?
Madness I tell thee. Curiously I can't log into my hosting account either.

I'm seriously considering it.
It also appears that I can't contact them so my third party (Joose) is having to do so for me. Apparently they dont have my email address on file, or it's wrong, cause I'm not getting any mail from them. Bah.
