    what do you shoot raw,jpeg or both?

    Shooting .jpg is fine if you want no photo you ever take to reach its full potential.

    Image size for a canvas

    Just go with a .jpg - canvases are a very forgiving medium. Don't resize the image on export and use a suitable amount of compression to achieve an acceptable file size.

    Backup solutions like Drobo

    ..or Skydrive at just a few quid for around 30Gigs. Not free of course, but as it's Microsoft's solution I'd expect them to be around for a while. Works well too.

    New home page design

    Nicely done, overall I reckon it's a neat site. I'm not entirely sold on the front page slider thingy but I'm sure you like it. My only other comment would relate to grammar. There should be no apostrophe used just because a word is pluralised. For example, on your FAQ page the word should be...

    Big Black Bag.com

    They don't know the difference between "you're" and "your". Not everyone can be Shakespeare but do you really want to place your business with a company that can't even be bothered to proof read its homepage?

    At what point did a photo become a "capture"

    Is there some difference or is the word "capture" just pretentious twaddle?

    studio lighting/flash all in a bag?

    This has been a very good read for me too, and I'd already assumed that the eBay stuff had to be pretty poor kit. I do have a question though because I need to shoot some portraits against a mottled backdrop. I'll have the Smartflash 200, stand, brolly and flash triggers but I'm not sure how to...

    I've come to the conclusion that I'm terrible with websites...

    There's nothing wrong with using Wordpress (or Joomla) and both can have a fine looking website up and running in minutes. Trouble is you won't learn anything and you sound like you want to. And...that knowledge you learn from building from scratch will still be very useful if you do end up...

    I've come to the conclusion that I'm terrible with websites...

    We'll as I said, tables are best suited to tabular data. If you want to layout a page in two or three columns then divs are the way to go. If you use Internet Explorer then install the developers toolkit. It does a good job of showing what code is doing what. Similar tools are available for all...

    I've come to the conclusion that I'm terrible with websites...

    You've written "coruses" instead of "courses" and "...currently still at..." is not good grammar. Apologies for mentioning these things but neither looks great on a page which also refers to your AS level grade "B" in English Language.

    I've come to the conclusion that I'm terrible with websites...

    Ah, you're using tables are you? Might I suggest that you don't. They can behave quite unpredictably, and are very much "old school" when it comes to building a website. That's not to say you shouldn't use them ever, but they are best suited for tabular data. Take a look at using "div"...
