1st post

Well, as I have dug out my old web designs for HOUSEQUAKE, I have been thinking about creating a new site...it is long overdue and I need to dust off my design skills.

As using a guestbook on sites these days can lead to email harvesting and spammers galore, I thought I would investigate the use of Blogging for things like guestbooks, posting pics taken at gigs, etc.

We'll see how it goes.

Don't know why you took off the Flash site, I thought it was great - in a kind of amateur don't know what you're doing way LOL :D

Anyways, I'll be watching.
