I've been told one of the problems with MS FrontPage is it sometimes plays up with certain browsers. Are you using something other than Internet Explorer, Peredhil?

The only bit that doesn't seem to be working is the hit counter.

Val, I love your site. I loved the galleries. You look great even as Nell said sans hair. Everything seemed to work for me. Congratulations for getting it up and running. Good luck on getting the one for work done.

You sport a mighty fine tash in one of those pictures!

It came off in two stages really. When I got an interview for where I now work I had about 15 years growth chopped down to about 2 inches. That was a real shock and didn't take my hood off for about two weeks.

A few weeks later, while out on a week's patrol, I realised even 2 inches was too long when it was constantly getting soaked in sea water. Consequently, I gave a pair of scissors to one of the other lads and told him to hack it all off. Apart from shearing it back once a month, I now find it pretty maintenance free, which is useful where I work. Well done Nell. Welcome to the club. I've tried keeping the text away from the darker bits of the background, but I think FrontPage reacts differently to different browsers. On my screen the text is well clear of those areas.... I guess on some PCs it is extending into the darker areas.

Hey Val, great site

I love the name - Nathanial, i'm gonna put it in my list of names
(yes, it's true, i do have a list with names that i like,,, )

I can only see about 6 pics per gallery, unless that's how it's supposed to be

Goody site

and- Congrats Nell for the 1000th post

Cool site Val but don't worry about selling out. I had to get the chop as well. It happens to all great men.
Once again good job

Very cool Val, sounds like everything worked out well The new boat looks good, not like a lemon at all.....

You've added more stuff.

great site Val

For those of you who are interested, I have finally got around to remaking a personal website after the old one became lost somewhere in cyberspace. It still needs a bit of work doing to it, and is limited in size because I have used a free host, but it's a start.

Hope you enjoy

Much nicer site Val, the splash and water background are cool. Your patrol boat is a real sleek lady.

Great site, Val. Funny, my husband dressed like you in the late '80s. Did all you Brits look like that at that time?

Maybe I'll get up my own site one day.

Then again, maybe not.

Neat Val, any chance of their archiving it for viewing online? I can't quite pick up their signal here on the Left Coast of North America.

Oh Val ..You write so beautiful... when I read : A Soldier's Tale it brought tears into my eyes ..thanks for sharing it with meI also like your page with the candles..it makes me want to read the stories

:Blushes: Thanks... I'm pleased you enjoy them.

I did hear last week that the girl who is typing the hard copy of the manuscript of my novel into Word for me, is making quite good progress. Unfortunately, I wrote it back in 1996-7, before I had a PC, so there is only a hard copy in existance. I did scan a third of it into Word before my scanner died, but then a girl from work volunteered to type it manually for me. That's going to cost a big bunch of flowers and a huge box of chocolates when she's done - it's over 500 pages.

It's basically a fantasy story based loosely around the politics you see in Middle Earth, but based in the equivalent of what would be Umbar. In other words, it's similar to a sea-based fantasy/pirate genre, but as assassins and dark priesthoods are also involved, it is also touching on horror. It is centered around a group of main characters who have been raised on the "bad" side, and who's views reflect that. Gradually, as the story evolves, however, they come to question the foundation of their beliefs and eventually end up fighting their former homeland.

In "feel" it was influenced a bit by Clive Barker, so I'd probably recommend a 15 certificate on it.
