    no idea what to say really ...

    don't like the adverts ... on a personal page ... makes a personal page feel commercial ...

    Install a blog and stick your mug on the website???
    Besides from that, look at other people's personal sites and take inspiration.

    Agreed. It looks pretty poor. Download WordPress and choose a nice theme.

    What experience will you learn from putting up a word press install and using someone else's experience. Half the fun is putting your own website together.

    Although if the website and design is critical for a user, they're better off going with something more effective such as wordpress.

    if i wanted a pro website, i would pay a pro to do it.
    as for the mug, the website aint finished yet.

    And where did anyone say, install wordpress and don't do anything else??
    You can do whatever you want, create your own image gallery, cms, throw a blog up there, some api's of sorts.

    nobody said anything about only putting up wordpress. But i want to do things by hand. sure it may look crap, but i'm not a designer!!

    After the hundreds of, dis-heartening comments, i picked up my camera, and went ut looking for insparation, and since then, i have completly re-designed my site, this time using all my own grapcs, with a theme. home the comments arent as bad this time around.

    Adverts gone I see ... quite happy now :)

    As for wanting to do things yourself .. I can understand that ... wordpress can be quite nice though ... lots of plugins to fiddle with as well ... so thats something to think about
