Re: FN-FORUM New site -- feedback requested, please

Hi Paul

Eek! That bad, eh?! Oh well, first attempt and all that... As I mentioned
this morning (too early!) when I e-replied to Ecky (thanks again, David -
your 'few pence' proved very valuable!), I was awake all last night worrying
about what people would think of my (very) feeble attempt at website
building - think my gut instinct was telling me that it was a bit naff.

Never mind, because the fantastic feedback I've got from both you and Ecky
means that I have been spurred on to create that elusive but (hopefully)
viable and utterly amazing website! I think I've got a lot of work ahead of
me, though. Watch this space...

I'll let you know when (and only when!) I've got a professional-looking site
up and running. Till then, thanks so much for all your help, input and
encouragement.

Have a great night,
Tracey :-)
