ok, that sounds like an excellent offer. not sure how to register a domain name though, i'm sure i can figure that out though. maybe it'd be better to continue with this using pms'? i'm definitely interested, and would like to go ahead, just may need a little help with a few pointers on the procedure. also, i haven't heard of wordpress. is that on linux or something?

Sure, continue via PM but for the sake of others wondering how to register a domain, use Domain registration - Domain registration company UK - UKreg or ww.123reg.co.uk or somebody similar (I avoid 1&1 despite their low cost price, their service and terms can often be laughable). Register the domain name you want. And you want .co.uk AND .com at least, and don't worry about what to do next. Your web host will tell you how to point that domain to the hosting space with your website on it when you get one.

on line ,and if your not on there ,so youve got buy a ticket if you want to win the raffle

it's certainly been an eye opener for me as far as a website is concerned. i've done a a few googles for tilers in durham, and david howe comes in most of the first pages hits. i have a free site atm, and even if i put my name along with tiler etc, i don't even get to page 10. i haven't bothered looking any further, as i know most people will only go the first page. going to be changing now to a paid site for sure.

Yes I use Dreamweaver to build my site and its got wordpress too...
The internet is a dark art for some but like any skill if you are persistent you can learn to do it.
I now host a lot of videos as well as images but the search engines like words and fresh content
