Designing this site

If I had more time, and someday I will, I would just set up a website instead. I am finding the limitations of the wordpress templates not quite suitable for my purposes, but when something is free you cannot complain too loudly. So be forewarned that there will be a certain amount of flailing about until a look is settled on. The one in play right now is a little too sedate but worst of all it restricts the size of photographs on the page. The designs that allow that sort of flexibility are fixed in other respects and for the most part have rather anemic colour schemes.
