I'll show the DH that, and he can look into it for me.
I 'fix' all the photos using photoshop. Once taken, they are cropped (sometimes severely) and then resized up or down to show the thing I want to show at the best screen size. All photos are as small as I can get them without losing the detail I'm trying to show.
One thing I have to consider if we shift ISP is the business side: present details are in Yellow Pages, and it's too late to change that for this year, I think...

I'd suggest buying a solid domain name
I already have the domain name, but we haven't activated it yet - that will come with the update. I don't aim to do much business through the site - it's 'show & tell' space. I like to keep some projects up there for potential customers to browse, but all work comes from direct contact, either via Yellow Pages or word of mouth. I get plenty that way on the bridal and posh frock side, and even the re-enactors (who can come from further afield) usually contact me that way, though there are contact points on the site. I do NOT need the hassles of internet sales or the expense of a proper commercial site!

I know what you mean - that wasn't what I was trying to suggest. I just got the impression that you had a URL on your YP listing that you were un-keen to lose. That sounded to me like a good opportunity to put up some bread-and-butter stuff to pad out the YP ad with a link to the rest. A lot of people confuse their ISP with their web-site host - they don't have to be the same people - apologies for the error.
The sneaky rat! Terry had done that for me! He's the friend who got it for me. Lovely man - designes web sites for a living.

I use composting toilet here, and there might be a methane-production potential in that. Future project...

There are forwarding agents who give you a permanent address for customers/corespondants to use, transfer that mail to whatever real address you happen to be at. Not very expensive, but still might be U$100 a year. For your next Yellow Page incarnation...
This stuff adds up, yes?

If it's not on fire, it's a software problem.

Too right! I don't aim to do any real business through the site, so need to keep expenses down...
Are you taking down the playmobil battle? My kids enjoyed that.
We have the pirates.

Ditto that. I pay next to nothing for mine, just so my eBay links don't change every time I have a hissy and change ISP's.

I use SupremeHost.net. They have really good customer service, and a "catch-all" email address system.

That will stay for now...
Oooh, pirates... Dig out the paddling pool and do a sea battle for us!
Done that! :)
Oh, that's dead easy. I have ..... ummm.... 6 treadle sewing machines? I have a Singer 401 to go into a treadle, too. I enjoy sewing on a treadle, much more than on a lecktrick.
