I have exerimented with various artitic styles (akak i sat in the garden with paints and charcoals and alike and made a lot of mess). Obtained a semi-sunburnt look (literally, half of me is lobster pink down my back and neck and leg (except where my pony tail was in the way) and the rest of me is it's usual pale self (speckled with freckles). Attempted multitasking (with leaflet delivering, mp3 listening and walking the dog) and discovered it to be as silly and unfeasible idea as anyone else would gather without trying it. and coded (working on the very much under construction http://jaynelutwyche.com ).
How's about everyone else?
in the last few days...

I tried leafleting a few weeks ago, aided by my Mum fortunately, and I was absolutely hopeless, so I withdrew my services from doing anything similar. The lack of fine motor skills made putting the things together and folding them and then putting them through some titchy postbox flap thing exceedingly difficult, time consuming and frustrating. Never mind, at least I tried.
I can walk and listen to my MP3s but that's probably about it. If I attempt any further forms of multitasking I suspect I'd be asking for trouble. No, actually, I tell a lie, I can listen to MP3s while walking *and* carrying shopping. I am not without my uses.
The white on black style for your website looks good, MJ, although I'd get rid of the white borders you had around some of the image links. Actually it rather inspires me to do something with my own site which unusually hasn't seen a revamp in quite a while now. Gah, I'd like to learn to make it database driven but I can't see it happening somehow.

I like the site! Might want to look at some image compression though on the navigation, they were taking quite a while to load for me. Also, it's usually good usability to keep the same navigation on each page. 
(Sorry, it's turning out I spend most of my time analysing site designs now, I do it as habit. >_<)
I've spent the last couple of days trying to solidly work through my Open University course *and* all my AS level coursework. OU work is done and handed in, and the rest of it's getting there -- but the week I've had off school has not been a holiday!](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
I think I'm going crazy due to lack of coding projects to do (yep, I need to code to stay sane, I'm odd) (the OU course doesn't count, I had to write a report which balanced out the good coding bit) for pleasure... at least my music collection is still growing.
@Dan: If you want some help on server-side coding I'm perfectly willing to teach you how it works?
ED: When I was in mini-Scouts when I was little, we used to have to go do leaflets. I always used to shut my hand in the letterbox. Owch.

its not supposed to haveannoying borders (I'm rather perplexed as to why it's put them there on some images and not others) an attack on the html coding is required :s though i can't see obviously where the error is (annoyingly)Daniel wrote:

img,
img a {
border: none;
}
I didn't notice any loading time issues as I've got broadband speediness here, however a quick check does show that some of the images could be made smaller. As the link graphics are in black and white they'd be best saved as gifs, whereas compression could be looked at for the main image to see if you can bring down the 142kb image without noticeably losing quality.
