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 :-)
