That was quick!
Some thoughts:
Another section will be needed for the Jamabalaya project.
(Also known as the J-Box).
Why are BB and The Entertainer on the title bar with UKLUG? They can
also be found in the Shopping section. Just thought it might give over
prominence to the commercial links.
On the home pages list, it might be useful to specify geographical
location for each member.

BB because they're pretty cool and were part one of "threads that draw
the brits together against those darn yanks" and TE because they're part
two of "t t d t b t a t d y"...
Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to post to this thread, am I?
Anyway, I scoped the site out, looks nice so far but can you make sure
you have a frameless version, please?

Yes! That's what I wanted to say, but didn't want to kick up a fuss.
We Brits being more reserved than those banned Yank imposters.

So why did you post to it if you already knew :-D The top bar is just for
major links, Busy-Bee is my own site obviously, The Entertainer's web-site has
been around for ages and was always part of the design plan because it offers
online ordering.
Other stuff I would like to have on the top bar (so it's not overun with
commercial links - that's fine):
lugnet.loc.uk and LUGNET together somehow with someway of explaining the
sign-up process - any ideas? Specialized UK-based LUGNET Sign-in page on
LUGNET?

If you mean a no-frames version also then I'll have a go.

United Kingdom (U.K.).
lugnet.loc.* (hierarchy):
General-purpose discussion groups for specific localities around the
world: events, social gatherings, swap-meets, fests, tours, shopping
excursions, local user group meetings, etc.
Think I might use it as a sig. Public service announcements which means I can
ignore the 4 line limit.

If you do use that as a sig, please be kind to others and put it in the
standard sig format, meaning two -'s followed by a space character right
before the actual sig (example at bottom of this message). That way, the
sig can be stripped properly when people reply (if their newsreader is
smart) and when articles are indexed for the search. --Todd

Yep - Netscape usually puts the -- in there anyway.

Strange thing is though that your 'example' appears to consist fo two -'s
followed by a carriage return (no space) :)
What is this -- code anyway? I've not encountered that before

Oops, I shouldda posted that from a real newsreader. I posted it from the
web interface, which strips trailing blanks from lines to reduce line
wrapping problems.
> What is this -- code anyway? I've not encountered that before
It's a standard NNTP/Usenet sig thing going back decades (I think). Your
news posting agent is supposed to put "-- \n" right before inserting your
sig, so that other newsreaders can automatically strip it out when people
reply.

"\n-- \n", actually.
I don't think the practice actually goes back multiple decades -
remember, in 1981, people were reading NETnews on 300 baud dumb
terminals.. My guess would be the sigdelimiter convention dates to the
middle 80s. Interestingly, a similar (though by no means equal)
feature is found on FIDOnet.

Todd? Your .sigdelimiter is bah-roken. ;)

OK, I read it. And?
I may not LIVE in the UK, but I'm discussing things relevant to the UK,
just as I did recently in loc.de when it looked like I might get to go
there...
Note followups.

Is there a website for this or should I just create a short intro page with
your e-mail address on it?
Care to write the intro?
