Lovely work and good job on the blog. Was glad to see I could understand it first time, some of your posts I need to read 6 times :laugh:

Bit of advice for the blog - try and use keywords in it that people will be searching for in google ie: paving, landscaping, natural stone etc. Don't over do it and insert them willy nilly though so the blog doesn't make any sense or so you're constantly repeating yourself.

Nice looking blog! Looks good on screen but screwed up layout on iPad, the first picture overlaps some of the text and the pictures all stick out to the right more than the text, still readable though mostly, all in all a very good first effort, not an iPad authoring expert myself but looks like the pics are a bit too big at the moment. I like the curved drive layout patterns best btw. Keep up the good work.....

Give him a bit of time until he gets familiar how web pages work etc, I personally like peoples own web pages because it makes them unique and not the same old /same old.

You pull from the row you lay behind Cookie, how much of a gap do you give yourself when you start the front line
