Good advice there, Rob.

It might be a little daunting, Christos, but if you look at the  
rubyonrails website you can see that they know what they're talking  
about -- the website looks good and is cleanly presented.  I thought  
that as soon as I saw the site, but then I saw the name, "37Signals"  
and I realised how.  That lot do all manner of good things on the WWW  
servers; they are very clever chaps.  I thought initially that they  
were a British Army unit as that is a plausible name, but they are  
just good civilian chaps.

christos.me.uk is still available, as is stavros-images.me.uk :-)
