So that's what happened to them! Most of mine (including moonbells)
are on basic freeserve accounts so hosting is free: works quite nicely
apart from them requiring you uplink pages via their 0845 phone number
and not through someone else's broadband.

I only have a bit of advice on starting plots, here
http://www.moonbells.freeserve.co.uk/advice/advice.html
and it's mostly a FAQ and not exhaustive.

Bob, if you have some pages you'd like me to put up for you, and they
aren't too graphics-heavy, let me know and I'll build them into
moonbells. Still got a few MB free and I can always link my separate
pages into another site I share.

Theory is fine, my practice this year has been awful. Will be glad
when the wedding's over and I can get back to weeding...
