Here I come again. Jack Vance is an excellent source of weird names. I took carfilhiot.co.uk from his Lyonesse trilogy.

Yes, another good one is to stick two words together. I used Myth and Axis to make the title of my sf magazine, and it's remained top of the Google list ever since.

That trick is also helpful in...

Jarhead? Very much in use. See Google. See my previous answer. Get much more original.

I have a Nucleus blog at http://www.carfilhiot.co.uk. It carries the standard Nucleus XML RSS and Atom components, yet it never seems to work - or, at least, Sage says it hasn't got one. Can anyone...

Can't remember now - it was a couple of weeks back, but I think the flowers were kind of falling over each other and over the link titles. Try it on IE5 yourself, or use one of these multi-browser...

Yes, I just opened the jpg in Firefox 1.5.0.4, and that's also at a reduced size and distorted. What's going on? Perhaps you should show your example as a IMG tag on an HTML page, and specify the...

Funnily enough, this time when I viewed your jpg in IE5 it looked just fine. The other browser I was using may have cleverly scaled the picture to the window I was using, sorry. I see what you mean...

The jpg doesn't (I hope) do justice to the characters. All the text in the top logo, the tabs and the calendar dates is very poor - not anti-aliased at all. If you just mean the layout, it looks OK....

Just reviewing the site.

On IE5 - about 7% of your potential clientele, it misbehaves fairly badly. The floating flowers in particular, but also the main site index box below.

In Firefox, the...

I tried it on IE 5. I do that kind of thing, because lots of people who need the kind of help you offer are still on Win98SE etc. IE5 users still represent 7% of my hits.

The tabs at the top...

You could also try Flickr. Many contributors are happy to let you use their photos on request or for a trifling consideration.

What's the alternative that works better than an iframe when all you want is to show an arbitrary web page inside a navigation frame? I don't mean that to sound challenging - I recently had that...

You may like it. So did they.

Purists feel both Dreamweaver and Frontpage produce bloated code. They get a web page up quickly, but not necessarily efficiently.

Almost anything cool you think of by yourself is going to have been used already, probably for an inferior or deleted product. Google is your friend here.

1. Use Google to find Norse / Greek /...

Another silly federal regulation. I take it that the USA thinks this one applies to us Brits as well as you Yanks, like the internet gambling issue. It seems to me that a similar dispute (in the...

In what way does it look different? FF0.9 and IE5 seem to me to render it the same way.

When you try to get into the members' area, it gives an error in access.php.

Paypal works just fine, and can incorporate a sort of shopping trolley.

The person who expects to receive the revenue has to open a Paypal account and then you just use the Merchant Tools. It's a...

Yes. If you're in the UK, you can still get a few free dial-up services. You may have to dial up to do the uploads on some, so watch out for that. I host my F:F:F site on such a service.

Have you considered a CMS?

Must have a look at HTML kit

Or use a CMS or Blog as your site skeleton.

Yes

What I mean is I think what happens:

The browser calls for the page, pauses a little, and then goes for the in-page anchor.

So, if the page is on a local server or in the cache, it's likely to...
