Yeah, you're right, it IS a bad site. Even I know that, but I'm not an html
programmer at all. I just undertook the task of putting this site on a
server after being asked to do so by the girl singer since her previous web
designer dumped her and left her in the lurch. I was only asked to put up a
page saying "under construction", but decided to have a go at something a
bit more substantial. Ever wish you hadn't started something?! lol. It's
weird, coz even though I know nowt about html, and the site is crap, I am
actually enjoying it all! Maybe I'll get better at it....'in about 10 years!
;-)

Cheers.
