Been playing again. The place now looks completely different from the template I started with. I can't really claim much original thinking for the design, as it's really a slightly, very cautiously tweaked version of the template on glish.com.
Cheers guys.
The place is getting close to how I want it to look. I'm looking round for a nice bit of art to mess about with and place in the Title Banner, maybe a watermark to enhance that vast expanse of black wallpaper.
If only I could draw.
