You’re very welcome, Lauren. See those buggers at Disneyland? Don’t know a good lifeguard when they see one.

John,

Do you have any idea what you want to do with your new domain? What does the t17 represent?

I have just bought a new website that has design in the title.

I really don’t know what to do with it. I am ok with illustrator and Photoshop and can design some ok logos. I am also very interested in reading and writing about art and deisgn.

Anyway to the point. If you were starting from scratch with my website what would you do with it? Is there anything that is a bit different from other sites on the web that you or your visitors could recommend

Your feedback would be really useful
Thanks

Thanks for the compliment, David :)

I think PADI is more world-wide than NAUI. I always get certified from the more unusual group, though not on purpose… when I was a lifeguard I was certified by the YMCA rather than Red Cross, which is not as difficult–but more universally accepted–as YMCA. I tried to get a job at the Disneyland Resort, but they only accepted Red Cross certs.

Ta, from the description I thought I’d only want cache, not super cache… I’ll have to look up details about the comments :)

No worries, Mike.

Those 7 year architecture degrees had a bearing on my decision too. Not much, but some. It’s similar to medicine in the amount of time you need to spend in full-time education!

Thanks for answering my question!

Not sure what I would be doing, my dreams of being a professional footballer never took off!

Its interesting the amount of people who considered architecture as a career, as did I, but I was put off by the 7 year courses.
