Not me... Hooves of Destiny (The website). I've spent the last few days learning rudimentary HTML and CSS in an attempt to make the website something other than a tangled mess of gibberish. Now it's a nicely coloured tangled pile of gibberish!
There's also a sneak preview of Hooves2 in there.

In theory the "index.html" shouldn't be necessary, but for some reason the server seems to be caching the index.html file. Not my server. If it continues, I'll kick up a fuss!

Or on the other hand it might just be local caching!!! Time for bed methinks.

<url:www.hoovesofdestiny.co.uk> should work fine.

Looks ok using Firefox on Linux (Gentoo). Any reason for using a frameset other than layout? If not, you can achieve that layout without having to use frames; which in some pony-tail rich environments are considered the Spawn-Of-Satan.

The frameset is a masking thing. The website is hosted in a subdirectory of www.restlesslemon.co.uk and the frameset is the forwarding system. Other than that... no reason at all. The frameset is not used for layout. Mark T's introduction to CSS got me started onto using CSS for layout design.

Nope -- neither work with microsnot

Works fine on IE6 but not if you click on the link in either of the two posts above (using OE6) - you either have to enter the URL directly into the address bar or arrive there by other means (Google etc).
Now if I talk nicely to my mate with the workshop....
FYI The "</html>" should be at the end of the document, after the closing </body> tag rather than before the DOCTYPE. The W3C validator will help spot this and other HTML issues: http://validator.w3.org/

Neither link actually appears as a clickable link in Thunderbird 1.0.6, I suspect it's because they lack the "http://". To test it, I'll try inserting it and see what happens: <url:http://www.hoovesofdestiny.co.uk>
Actually, let's try it without the http:// or the url marker or the chevrons, see how TB responds to that as well: www.hoovesofdestiny.co.uk

They both work. But posting a link with a url marker and no http:// doesn't.
No, my newsreader(Turnpike) didn't like that either (or rather it ignored the url)

but this doesn't: 3. <url:www.hoovesofdestiny.co.uk>
I post all my links the third way. Does this mean no one else can double- click onto the page?
It's looking that way - well no idea what OE makes of it
However, here , if you add a space after 'url:' , which I have a feeling was how it is in the RFC (BICBW) then it works here
<url: www.hoovesofdestiny.co.uk>
Actually , I don't tend to bother with the 'url' bit. for those newsreaders which do understand the <> delimiters this seems to work fine, most can extract various urls anyway, they mostly seem to help with those that wrap. -- Chris French

Oops. Rookie error! Probably the result of an abberant copy & paste! Corrected, as were the other errors. The only validation error now appears to be coming from the server itself.
It will continue to develop over the next week, not least because I will add more photos of Hooves2 (As soon as I manage to find a reliable transfer method from work!).
Aargh! Links that go to pages containing the words "Coming Soon"!
One of which has now gone. They are a consequence of my planning the content before it was written and wishing to avoid having to redo the menu, which a lack of server side scripting has forced to be hand-tweaked for each page.
The site may be moving to a home of its own soon which will hopefully make it easier to maintain!

The forwarding frame is, as usual, a problem.
For the pages themselves you would need to either get the server admin to sort out an HTTP character set declaration or (much easier in most cases) add a character set declaration into the <head> in lieu of the server adding the correct one.
